Wat Tha Rua - Temple School

Most of the temples in Phuket have a school where young boys serve as monks a part of their lives. This might be compared with our Christian confirmation. In Wat Tha Rua Mr Cosin - our often consulted taxi driver - has installed his son - Nuttae. Here he is seen just after hair cut and installation:

As I just said Mr Kosin is one of our favorite driver. This year - 2008 - we found that he - like his both sons - is a wonderful  singer. He has a big repertoire of Thai songs making long trips enjoyable for the passengers. His cell phone number is: 081-9783400.

The son Nuttae frequently win new prices for his singing. Below he gets first price in a singing contest in November 2009 at the Loy Kratong festival in Cherng Talay (near Surin Beach):
