Return ticket
Maria McCarthy
Can you please advise how you handled the return ticket requirement? My friend has an expired return ticket, that we can pay the penalty, and change. If the “intent” is to stay 14 days, should we just get for the 14 days? How about if they are granted the right to stay longer, and he wants to stay, and/or shorter, then we have to change again?
Thanks!

Hello Kevin, Thank you! I sent to his family/friends to compile a list of questions.
Would you be open to get on a video conference call? It’s free, I would need to send you a link, and anyone with the link can connect. So a couple of his friends and family would be able to join too.

Thank you Seda! So you would suggest, buying the ticket, for the longest time, that the visa allows, which is approximately 23 days. Any chance the High Monk won’t allow him to extend, if my friend’s willing to stay longer?

========== CUT THIS OUT & TAKE WITH YOU ===========
It is my experience that after 5 or 6 days of treatment at Thamkrabok, you or more correctly the addict-within-you, may say "I'm cured… It's a miracle… I'm checking-out to spend a couple of weeks on the beach". This is the first test of your Sajja and your commitment to a new life. You should stay at Thamkrabok for the full duration. Sit with your loneliness, make friends with your boredom and face your demons.
The most common regret that I hear - time after time - from individuals after treatment is "I wish I had stayed at Wat Thamkrabok for longer!"

Advice for Contacting Vince
I gave up full-time employment in 2014 to devote more time to the study and practice of Buddha Dhamma and to promote wholehearted recovery in a Buddhist context through the Fifth Precept Sangha and Hungry Ghost Retreats organisations ; and more recently through Nalagiri-Mindfulness retreats in Ireland.
In effect this means that I attend many silent meditation retreats and study retreats, as well as teaching Mindfulness retreats worldwide each year.
The important words here are 'retreat' and 'silent'.
I can be contacted by telephone, email or Skype at any time but I cannot always answer or reply immediately. Your understanding and patience is appreciated. Thank you!
