My guide Kevin and I are headed about 50 Clicks (Km) out of Bangkok towards the Nakhon Chai Sri region where the tattoo temple compound, Wat Bang Plot is located. Wat is Thai for temple and always precedes a temple’s formal name. We have both resigned ourselves to getting lost a bunch, the signs are few and the temple is not listed on any map. The only people who know about it are the Thai people who gather there to receive traditional, curative and magical tattoos from the monks. Kevin speaks Thai and we are hoping that we’ll find our way. A few days earlier, Jimmy Wong who tattoos in Bangkok had drawn a map for us to follow and he wrote down a few distinct mile markers to keep our eyes peeled for. As the occasional road sign flies by, I look at the illegible curly-cue Thai script and wonder if we are blowing past an important turn.
