"O" becomes a (15 day) monk

Must have been quite a high ranking visitor at the temple this morning.
Plenty of uniforms (police, military), buses and government vans all over the place.
"Do you speak Thai?" A policeman approached me.
"Sorry No."
The policeman did understand "my friend" and "monk.' but he continued to linger near me till the convoy approached and the passengers were waving at me.
From that moment I was no longer scrutinized by dozens of policemen.





It had been raining before we arrived at the temple.
Wet tile was quite slippery.  Novices were tasked with mopping up.




Plenty of uniforms and security
