Small liberal arts schools always emphasize their alumni connections, so I thought I would test my school's out to see if any alumni live in Bangkok. Through the online database, I found 3 alums in Bangkok and their email addresses. I decided to send them all emails with the chance that maybe one of them would reply and give me some good advice about the city.
Much to my surprise, one alum responded the same day. He offered to pick me up from the airport at midnight, lend me his cell phone and wifi device, let me say in the spare room of his condo while in Bangkok, and then drive me to the monastery. Suddenly my trip was starting to fall into place.
For privacy, I will refer to him simply as "the alum".
