Ubon ratchitani temple

Fai, mom, and me went to the local temple and she bought us some thing to hang in our cars. It’s a similar thing like the charm I have around my neck. They believe that if you wear it around your neck or keep it near that it will protect you.

We will hang it in our cars from the rear view mirror. Fai and I each got one.

We were by a large gold statue and we lit some candles and burned some incense. It was pretty cool doing the local traditions here.

We did another thing where they have a bunch of sticks about the size of a pencil. Each stick has a number on it. What you do is you hold the container and shake it and u try to make one of the sticks fall out. You look at the number and you a piece of paper from the a bookcase. The paper has like a fortune written on it.  Fais mom said that my fortune was really and that I will get everything my heart desires.

I have Fai, I already have everything I need.

the temple for foreigners

We made it to the temple and we were able to speak to a woman who is from Germany. She spoke really good English so I had a short conversation with her.  She told us that in the morning, bright and early they have 2 morning talks, one in Thai and one in English in different parts of the grounds.

She explained to us that the monks would be able to speak with us only early in the morning.we have some photos of the temple, ill post when we get home.
