Wat Thai, North Hollywood Mar 3rd 2012, 13:56 I very much enjoyed this video, which takes us inside the Wat Thai temple of North Hollywood. We meet Michael Mannil, a 25-year old construction manager from Denver, Colorado, who is honoring his Thai heritage by spending a week at Wat Thai as a monk. He called it a "life-changing experience." Toward the end we see Mannil and his mentor, the monk Phra Maha Dusit Sawaengwong, chanting in Pali (or Thai?) and English. Is that becoming a common practice in North American Thai temples? The accompanying article says that Wat Thai, built in 1972, is the oldest Thai Buddhist temple in North America.
