stevesuphan -

Very interesting blog! Thanks for your reply. I would be very interesting in doing a retreat like that at a Wat but I won't have time for it on the upcoming trip.

However, my question is really about just the casual stop off at the Wat as I have seen many Thai people do. For example, I have seen many Thai people visit the Wat for maybe 15 minutes, light insence, pray/mediate for some time, then leave.

I would like to do this but I'm not sure even what to do with the incense, etc. So, it's really sort of beginners tourist question, in a way!

thanks!
