And after arrival, you will be instructed where to sit, how to sit, etc. When I was there I saw a poster of the different tattoo styles so I imagine you tell the monk which one you prefer. Because unless you speak Thai, how would the monk even know what would suit? The donations are small (50 baht or so) but it is up to you. Kenneth - Yes, I live in Bangkok. I have since lost contact with the taxi driver I was using. As for needles, I'm not sure. I've been told that some monks reuse so I'd be concerned as well.
