My bf announced to me today after we were discussing drinking and karaokes that he intends to abstain from alcohol for the next 2 months. I can't see that happening with regards to his willpower, but was surprised at his intention and also that I know so little about it. He said probably one reason I know so little is that he has never tried to acknowledge the 'no drinking' part of it before. Also it is the time of year I am not normally vsiting Thailand so wouldn't have experienced it.

It seems to be related to Buddhist monks retreating to their Wat for studying.

I know i can search around the internet but just wondering if anyone has actual experiences relating to "Kow Pansa". It should be something our long term expats would probably know about.
