Dead Drunk After Three Years

It has been almost three years since I first began writing my account of addiction and about my time spent in Thamkrabok temple detox. So much has happened during that time, and my life has changed in so many ways. For one thing my son came along and that certainly shook my world, but things have been unpredictable in other ways as well.

Free Treatment at Wat Thamkrabok

The treatment at Wat Thamkrabok is provided freely; although most people will give a donation to the temple at the end of their trip. Those who can only afford the plane ticket to Thailand will be welcome no matter how much money they have with them; nobody is ever turned away.

There are some organisations that can assist people to get to the temple and some of these may have costs involved. It should be noted though, that there is no requirement to use these services or pay anything. This is optional; plenty of people make their way to the temple without the need.
