It was the month when Prince Siddharta was born, and gained his enlightenment, and the Mahaparinibbana of Buddha. My family and I ventured into the deep forest of the North East of Thailand, nearing to Laos. We stayed at the Ubon International Hotel at Ubon Ratchathani and visited Wat PhananaChat which is just about 15 kilometers away from town. Development over the years is changing the form of the village into a major city, equipped with an international airport, Universities, shopping malls and entertainment centers.
In this village, there once lived a great teacher, whom had shown d way to many people from all over the world, and bringing the guiding light to many reknowned monastics of today. ~ Venerable Ajahn Chah~

We were also very fortunate to meet Ajahn Siripanno at WatPhananachat. He gave us lots of important & meaningful teachings to bring back! We are indeed thankful for the messages....
As on wesak day, we headed to Dr. Dhammananda's Nunery and we participated at the 'bathing of the Buddha' event which is significat to all Buddhist all over the world.
Later in our trip, we went on a search of a temple which belongs to a phraku whom we met at New Zealand and we lost contact for over 3 years. Not knowing anyone or knowing any thai language, we managed to find the temple and we wer utmost suprised to meet him there as he is always knowed to be travelling all over the world.
Well, do enjoy the photos! Arios!
