Making Merit when Travelling Bangkok



MAKING MERIT - wikipedia.org - The result of doing good deeds
Thailand is pre-dominantly Buddhist (over 90% of the population are Buddhists). I am far from being an expert on Buddhism, but living in Thailand it is impossible not to realize the impact it has on everyday life and the value placed on merit-making. There is a Thai saying which says that “if you do good you will receive good, if you do evil you will receive evil.” Put very simply, most Thais have a general belief in karma and reincarnation. So the good and bad actions in a Thai persons current life will have an effect on their next life. Making-merit helps ease the path of the current life as well as the future lives to come.

Here's a really cool alternative

Visit the slum child care centre Bangkok with a donation of food, smiles, money and then go party

1. buy some stuff (anything is fine)


2. jump in a Taxi (anything is fine)


3. Donate and have a cheer with the kids



Three (3) cheers for happiness
