Nong Khai, 2005

"Father! Reverend Father! A slender boy in a red football uniform, shirt and shorts running towards the cubicle. As soon as he reached the foot of the stairs, he hurriedly took off his Star Elephant sandals.

Then hurriedly climbed the nine steps to the wooden cubicle, the sound of the feet heavy on the wooden floor made a tense sound, causing the monks to open their eyes as they sat in meditation in a calm manner.

Looking at the good person blaming 'Tharn' or Wansa Raksasil, realizing that he was not behaving properly, then put his feet on the wooden floor, gently crawling on his knees towards Luang Por

Join your hands and kneel three times and come closer.

"How many times have I told you to walk, not run?"

"Yes, Than doesn't run anymore..." Chao Than was a temple boy because he grew up in a temple. Not without a father or mother. But I had to stay here because my real father was ordained a monk.

It's not that everything is fine, I miss my mother, but I'm tired of here. Now, my mother divorced my father and returned to Chiang Mai, when Tharn was just a year old, neither his ordained father nor mother ever abandoned him.

He returned to oversee the rigorous training, and Than knew his mother wanted to take him with him. But the boy could not go because Luang Pu had protested that the Than could not stay away from the Mekong River until he was eighteen years of age.

If you defy fate in less than a year, fate will be broken. His mother was forced to leave Than to stay with his father here...

Sometimes Than felt hurt. When the big cocks scolded their mother for not loving them. My mother had no money, so he left it at the temple for Luang Por to raise. When Than cried, he returned to Luang Por. He didn't say anything, but answered.

The account book in this bastard's name shows the number on the account. Wow... Tarn has millions of dollars.

'Do you still think your mother is poor and doesn't have the wisdom to support his?'

Tharn nodded.

'Then why do father and mother have to live separately? Because the reverend father doesn't have to order... why can't mom be here with us...'

"Tharn, listen to me, sometimes people can't resist their destiny... that me and Yomrawiwawan can't be together. Yes, it's karma"

Luang Pho said this. But why don't you know? Instead, Than felt that the reason they couldn't be together might be because of him. But Tharn did not speak. didn't ask anymore because he was afraid that his thoughts would come true Now Ai Than wants to ask Reverend Father to visit Big Brother's house, Ban Nam Pae, Rattanawapi District to see the Naga fireballs* I saw that he He said there was a viewpoint, so we could see lots of fireballs.

NOTE*: (Thai: Bang Fai Phaya Naga), also known as bung fai paya nak or Mekong lights, is a phenomenon often seen on the Mekong River in Thailand. Glowing balls supposedly rise naturally from the water into the air. The balls are said to be reddish and range in size from a few sparkles to the size of a sphere of light similar to basketballs. They quickly rise up to a few hundred meters before disappearing. The number of reported fireballs ranges from tens to thousands per night. The phenomenon is named after the Phaya Naga, legendary snake-like creatures said to live in the Mekong.

Tharn wants to see:

"What's wrong with you running to me?"
