Hi,
everyone knows that the LOS is a buddist oriented country. I have heard that there are alot of fortune tellers around, one of the reknown ones is "Bai Long Wang", means White Dragon King.
Has anyone tried fortune telling in Bangkok or anywhere in LOS? Any recommendations?

Fortune telling has nothing to do with Buddhism.

Yes, you are right, fortune telling has nothing to do with Buddism. However, I heard that some temples has monks telling fortunes/ giving spiritual advice.

the temple which is famous for that is wat poh (temple of the reclining buddha). there are a couple of well known fortune tellers hanginga round, mainly for tourists! it is actually a very interesting thing to do, as they normally do reveal the structure of your personality very well. believe it or not, i know a lot of people who are swearing on the suggestions they give to them and consult them beofre any major business transaction!

I don't know of any Monks or Temples that provide this but you often see old women on street corners using cards etc. You would need to be fluent in Thai as even if you have a translator the meaning would undoubtedly be lost or radically changed!!!

How about the one I mention earlier, BaiLong Wang? I saw from a video that he speaks Chinese Dialect, many Hong Kong movie star actually consulted him and subsequently become very famous.

I think it is possible that more than the practice of Buddhism takes place at temples, and that monks are not unidimensional pillars of Buddhist wisdom.
The blessing of houses, marriages, births, etc., is not strictly Buddhist. ÝCertainly old animist beliefs coexist in most, if not all, Thai Buddhists. ÝFortune telling, spirit houses, and much of the day-to-day trappings of what we Westerners perceive as Buddhist practice in Thailand, are part of a mix, much of which predates Buddha's enlightenment.
Behold and wonder at it all. ÝIt makes Thailand lovely.

I have once tried fortune telling with one of my tilacs. I was told that today there is happyness and soon she will be very sad. And we were told that I will soon go on a long journey. It was true...

I have heard of many instances where the TGs are consulting the fortune tellers to tell them if their tilacs are cheating on them. A lot cheaper than getting a PI
