I can't even believe we ran so fast that time. My sister and I just ignored we were wearing demure-looking dresses that day. I think that monk at the end of the train was just heaven-sent. If not for him, we could've missed our train.

Thailand indeed is perfect too for your Buddhist philosophy journey. Buddhism is really embedded in their culture and in their way of life. Altars are scattered everywhere in the city. That's how much they give importance to their faith.
