Today,I please to review one of the beautiful history in Thailand.
Everybody know Tim Arnold.right?
Tim Arnold is an English songwriter and musician from Soho, London.
He was the frontman of a band called Jocasta in the mid nineties.
He has released 9 albums, 1 with Jocasta and 8 solo albums.
In 2003 Arnold travelled to a Buddhist monastery in Thailand. He was practically adopted by the abbot of the monastery who encouraged him with his music and that, in turn, opened new artistic horizons. Under the guidance of the monks, he engaged in the composition of an album in which the music was created by following cracks in the earth, which metamorphosed into pop rock melodies.‘Lokutara’ was recorded at the monastery and became his debut solo album.
This is one history of the place that give new life to a peaple."Wat Tham Krabok"
Wat Tham Krabok is a Buddhist temple (wat) in Thailand, located in the Phra Phutthabat district of Saraburi Province.
The temple was first established as a monastery in 1958 by the Buddhist nun Mae Chee Boonruen. It was upgraded to temple status 17 years later, in 1975. The temple is majestic in its appearance, with gold pagodas marking its entrance.
Wat Tham Krabok has also gained global notoriety for its heroin and opium drug rehabilitation program, which was started in 1959. Over 100,000 heroin and opium addicts have since gone through the unique Wat Tham Krabok detox program, which includes Buddhist meditation, Asian herbal supplementation used for relaxation, induced vomiting, and the consumption of a secret detoxification potion made of over 100 unknown Asian herbs.
After failing in other detox programs, a number of prominent Western drug addicts have sought treatment at Wat Tham Krabok, including British punk rock musician and Pete Doherty, rock music singer Christy Dignam of Aslan, and American computer underground personality Patrick K. Kroupa. Because opium is commonly grown and consumed by the Hmong in the highlands of Thailand, many Hmong refugees also have undergone addiction treatment at Wat Tham Krabok.
Wat Tham Krabok also is believed to have served as a conduit for international heroin and opium trafficking and possible arms trafficking to Hmong insurgents in Laos. Responding to these concerns, the Thai military, in April 2003, deployed hundreds of troops to surround Wat Tham Krabok. Thai military and police have since fenced the Hmong village at Wat Tham Krabok with concertina wire in an effort to monitor and control entrance to it.
Finally,I hope this information can help you a bit

Amazing Thailand ^_^
