Frans Amsterdam in Pattaya (part 10): 'The Thai Ten Commandments'
Frans Amsterdam has settled down again in Pattaya and entertains us, until there are no more 'like' ratings, with his experiences in a follow-up story. This time about Cat, who is recuperating at her 'auntie' in Bangkok. Above all, she needs to recover from her failed escapade to Bahrain. To speed up and intensify that process, she will soon go through life as a nun for a period of three days, in a temple.
American Margo Somboon (60) is the only foreign nun at Wat Yai Chai Mongkhol in Ayutthaya. But don't ask her if she's American. "Does that matter?"
After a stay of more than 7 years in Thailand, it was time to stay in Dutch. Entered Wat Sanghathan in March 2007 as a Thai Nun, having lived there intermittently for over 5 years. With many ups and also downs. Played Sinterklaas there and gave everything away.
