You can visit for the day or you can stay in one of a couple small cheap hotels near Wat Thamkrabok in the nearby (3km beyond the Monastery) town of Phraputtabat ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phra_Phutthabat_District ).
The Thai nun, Mae Shee Rambhai can give you more details, if you are worried about anything then you can call M.S. Rambhai on
- Landline +66 36266404
- Cellphone +66 819855843
IMPORTANT - please remember to ONLY call during Thai time 9:00am - 6:00pm.
Good luck with your journey.
Best wishes and Metta,
Vince

Advice for Contacting Vince
My full-time job requires that I work 12-hour day and 12-hour night shifts over 365 days per year. Consequently, my life revolves around a 28-day shift cycle, often meaning that I cannot do many of the things that I would like to... but this life is a series of disappointments, so I try to live in harmony with that 'reality' because to live in conflict with 'reality' would just be suffering!
I can be contacted by telephone or email at any time but I cannot always answer or reply immediately. Your understanding and patience is appreciated. Thank you!
