While traveling down the Chao Phraya river by watertaxi to the Grand Palace, our boat stopped to pick up a gaggle1 of Buddhist monks. I desperately wanted to take a picture, but didn’t want to be too obvious about it. I took a quick shot, then tried to look inconspicuous. Imagine my horror when I looked at the photos this morning and saw that one of the monks was staring right back at me.
I’m sure there’s some sort of kharmic retribution for taking unauthorized photos of monks. If I come back as a mealworm, I guess I’ll know why.
1 I’m pretty sure that Buddhist monks come in gaggles. Versus, say, priests, that come in murders.
