I set out to find the Giant Buddha at Wat Pak Nam, Bangkok Thailand's must see, lesser known, one you can't miss, incredibly scenic, huge temple. Searching for the Giant Buddha, I meet a 100-year-old Monk with a message for America.

Oh wow, the elder gentleman, made me actually tear up a bit when he grabbed your hand. Sooo sweet. No telling what he has gone thru and for you to happen upon him this/ that day we will never know. You do such great work. 👍

It is fun to watch someone experience Bangkok for the first time. All the praise and wonder is warranted, it is such a great place. The Giant Buddha and the street food in the surrounding neighbourhood are on our list for next time. Looking forward to the next vid.

Your adventures remind me of watching Indiana Jones, except you navigate the urban landscape instead of jungles. I thoroughly enjoy your content. Additionally, it's worth noting that some Thais may appear unfriendly due to their reluctance to communicate in English, as they lack proficiency in the language.

Mindfulness of breathing (according to Satipatthana Sutta) “And how, bhikkhus, does a bhikkhu abide contemplating the body as a body? Here a bhikkhu, gone to the forest or to the root of a tree or to an empty hut, sits down; having folded his legs crosswise, set his body erect, and established mindfulness in front of him, ever mindful he breathes in, mindful he breathes out. (1) Breathing in long, he understands: ‘I breathe in long’; or breathing out long, he understands: ‘I breathe out long.’ (2) Breathing in short, he understands: ‘I breathe in short’; or breathing out short, he understands: ‘I breathe out short.’ (3) He trains thus: ‘I shall breathe in experiencing the whole body’ ; he trains thus: ‘I shall breathe out experiencing the whole body(4) He trains thus: ‘I shall breathe in tranquillizing the bodily formation’; he trains thus: ‘I shall breathe out tranquillizing the bodily formation.’ Just as a skilled turner or his apprentice, when making a long turn, understands: ‘I make a long turn’; or, when making a short turn, understands: ‘I make a short turn’; ..... “In this way he abides contemplating the body as a body internally, or he abides contemplating the body as a body externally, or he abides contemplating the body as a body both internally and externally. Or else he abides contemplating in the body its arising factors, or he abides contemplating in the body its vanishing factors, or he abides contemplating in the body both its arising and vanishing factors. Or else mindfulness that ‘there is a body’ is simply established in him to the extent necessary for bare knowledge and mindfulness. And he abides independent, not clinging to anything in the world. That is how a bhikkhu abides contemplating the body as a body.” Bhikkhu Nanamoli and Bhikkhu Bodhi, The Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha, A New Translation of the Majjhima Nikaya, Wisdom Publication, 1995, p.145-146

The path to hell is paved with good intentions. That being said I was told that the biggest Buddha in the world outside of Japan resides in the Byod-in temple on the north shore of Hawaii.

ข้อสงสัยของคุณคือ บางคนตอบสนองคุณด้วยใบหน้าที่แสดงสีหน้าการแปลกๆให้คุณรู้สึกไม่สบายใจ แต่ต่างจากคนส่วนใหญ่ที่เป็นคนไทยจะยิ้มและทักทายดี เหตุผลที่คนในประเทศไทยบางคนอาจจะทำอาการแปลกๆใส่คุณ 1/ คนไทยก็เหมือนคนทั่วโลกมีทั้งคนน่ารักและแข็งกระด้าง ส่วนใหญ่คนที่ไม่ค่อยชอบสนทนาจะเป็นคนสูงอายุ่(ไม่รู้ภาษาอังกฤษ และเป็นคนจีนรุ่นเก่า) แต่โดยรวมคนรู้ภาษาอังกฤษจะรีบช่วยเหลือและทักทานคุณอย่างแน่นอน 2/ประเทศไทยเป็นที่รวมของคนทั่วโลกเพราะประเทศไทยมีชื่อเสียงและเป็นที่นิยมของนักท่องเที่ยว ประเทศไทยจึงมีลูกจ้างและคนหลบหนีเข้าเมืองจากประเทศใกล้เคียง อุปนิสัยคนพวกนี้จะไม่เหมือนคนไทย ไม่ยิ้มและแข็งกระด้าง คุณจึงอาจพบเห็นคนพวกนี้อยู่ทั่วไป 3/คุณอาจเดินสวนทางหริอพบเห็นนักท่องเที่ยวจากเอเซียที่พวกเขาก็จะไม่ใช่คนไทย เขาจึงไม่รู้เรื่องราวต่างๆเกี่ยวกับพื้นที่ และพวกเขาก็ดูเหมือนจะกลมกลืนไปกับชีวิตคนไทยจนคุณแยกไม่ออก 4/ในประเทศไทยจะมีคนหลบเข้าเมืองเพื่อเข้ามาแอบทำอาชีพต่างๆอย่างผิดกฎหมาย และอาชีพขอทาน อาชีพลักทรัพย์ กรีดกระเป๋าจากนักท่องเที่ยวและคนไทยตามสถานที่ท่องเที่ยว คุณควรระวัง เพราะมันคือปัญหาที่ตำรวจไทยและหน่วยงานรัฐบาลกำลังพยายามแก้ไขอย่างเร่งด่วน
