		<description>Bro,
The reason i would like to go to the temple is to know and learn more about the Sak Yant Tattoos and its benefits which is part of the Thai buddhism. Would it be likely for me to head to Wat Sonom Brom to learn more about tattoos and its benefits ?
&lt;strong&gt;
@Tom : As I said before bro, Sak Yant tattoos secrets would not be revealed by any of the monks. Plus you will have difficulty communicating with them because they speak scarce English, and only fluent in Thai language. If you take a guide with you, he might cheat you up for money of course. 

This I have explained to lots of people, but they still do not listen and head up to Thailand in thirst of knowledge. I would personally advice you to do up some reading on your own, there&#039;s a wealth of knowledge about sak-yant tattoos if you&#039;re willing to Google it.

For a starter : http://www.sak-yant.com/ . Learn up on your own and prepare yourself brother, because it&#039;s not something you can tattoo and take no care about it. Once you know what you want and prepared for it, go up to Thailand, meet any of the monks there, and tell them you want to get that the tattoo(which you&#039;ve decided to be done). They would gladly do it for you.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Bro,
I would like to go to Betong Buddhist temple and learn more about buddhism from the monks there. Which temple would you suggest me to go. do you have any contacts there (betong) which would be able to help or guide me when i go to betong. 
My trip will be solely for religious purpose.
&lt;strong&gt;
@Tom : I&#039;m sorry bro, but I do not have any contacts there. In Thailand, there is no specific temple that you have to visit. You can visit any temple, and but if you&#039;re going to tell me about learning Buddhism, I suggest that&#039;s not the place to go. If you&#039;re going for prayers or tattoos, then it&#039;s all fine. Learning any religion is not a matter of going to the temple or pilgrimage site, rather keeping a high faith on whoever you choose to pray, and then reading any source and materials will guide you along the way to your quest of seeking spiritualism. Betong is a small town, so you can just ask any of the tuk-tuk driver or taxi driver to send you to the nearby temples. I&#039;m sure you will be blessed. Good luck brother:)&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>I am into yants&amp;amulets as well. got a gow yord, reusi, metta &amp; 5 faced hanuman yant. 

one of my indian frens suggested me to do a special prayer during thaipusam. was aghast as that never crossed my mind but somehow keen to do it. found a guru, fasted for a month, prayed both morning &amp; evening. got into trance at one of the temples near the river till i reached the entrance of the cave. many devotees asked my frens if im chindian and they were even more astonished when they found out im a chi.

left Msia after that and got into trance again at a temple in NZ (i dont know why). will definitely come back for TPS in 2010.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m sorry to disappoint you guys but you have not been to the real Thailand yet. The border towns along the Malaysia border are famed for their prostitution. In Malaysia I hear they are more strict on prostitution and in Thailand they are more strict about gambling. This is why the Malays go to Thailand to get laid and the Thais go to Malaysia to gamble. Hence the border economy of gambling and prostitution.

I would say that the number of prostitutes are probably less (percentage wise) in Thailand than most other western countries. I read somewhere that USA is nr 1 in prostitutes per capita. But you&#039;ll see that as you move up north from the border. As some people have suggested already you should try to make it all the way up north to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. Bangkok is also worth a visit (many places in Thailand are!) but don&#039;t hang out only around the red light districts or you will continue to think that your tainted view of Thailand is true.

Kindly,
Robert

For the other side of the coin. She is a great Thai girl that is trying to turn her life around and she needs all the promotion and support she can get. Thanks!</description>
