  1. If you've just been around BKK and judging by your description then it's likely most temples you will have visited will be oriented towards tourists. Forest monasteries in regional areas couldn't be more different. Having said that its common in Thai culture to value ostentatious displays of wealth and not realise the contradiction with the Buddhas teaching.
  2. That's a silly question. Its quite reasonable to ask if your post is on topic if there doesn't appear to be relevance.
  3. A thread about string that resurrects every year or ten? I think we are being strung along. I hope he has untied it by now, no need to tie yourself in knots over a piece of string.
  4. On the surface it does look like they are packaging as a commodity something that is freely available elsewhere and aiming it at tourists. It might be a good experience fort you but I think it would be better to do retreats as a layman at places like those you've already mention, Wat pah nanachat, or Wat Suan mokh. I don't think there is much point thinking about a temporary ordination unless you've found a monastery or teacher and want to spend more time there.
