THAILAND

Me and two of my friends were in Thailand the summer after senior year of high school. One of our favourite activities was going to night markets. This one night, at a market in Chiang Mei, there were a group of people dancing and singing while running around.
My friend pointed out that they were members of this religion group (cult) called Hare Krishna. After a quick google search and seeing that they were vegetarians like me, I thought it’d be a fun plot to talk to them and hear more about their beliefs. I had a brief conversation with them before a girl in the group asked if she could add me on Facebook. Partly because I’m horrible at saying no and partly because I wasn’t thinking right I gave her my Facebook, before I quickly left.
However, the following days the woman kept texting me about events they had in the following days and how she wanted me to join the group. I never replied, but part of me wonders what life would be like if I joined the Hare Krishna in Thailand.

give me more stories!
