"Meet Mongkul"
Serendipity!
As I was finishing up my shoot within the Thai Temple, I decided to go back to the third level. As I turned to head back down, I heard a voice. He introduced himself as, "Mongkul." He asked about the pictures I took and offered to pose for me. We had a brief conversation about photography. Before I parted ways, he asked for a copy of my images for the Temple's website.
Saga continues. . .
I tried to send them via DropBox and then email but I had no luck. Finally, I put them on a DVD and drove back to the Temple. Upon entering I learned that Mongkul was in the meditation room so off I went.
He remembered my name and was quite impressed that I went through so much trouble getting him the images. He asked me to sit while he bestowed a blessing upon me. Next he offered me a small Buddha medallion. Finally he tied a small string around my wrist - a symbol of good fortune.
As it turns out Mongkul is the First Vice President of the WAT!
