WAT BPA ACHA TONG
The "Golden Horse Forest Monastery" is an extraordinary buddist retreat nestling in a lush valley along the Thai/Burmese border.

Prayer bells chiming in the wind compete with the sounds of whinnying horses. 18 young novices under the guidance of charismatic Abbot Kru Ba ride out each morning like middle age warriors to collect alms and preach the evils of "Ya Ba" (amphetamines).
