Seek out one of the Buddhist temples which offers counselling to deluded farangs. A seasoned Buddhist will advise that anger is one of the three poisons and has no use whatsoever to we humans. To the lesser animals it was a form of defence against predators. It is counter productive; harms us; harms others. So why do we lose control of our minds with anger when it is an utterly useless emotion in every respect?

I think that deluded is rather a strong word in this context but you are right there are many Buddhist temples that offer instruction to foreigners. Suan Mokkhaphalaram in Surat Thani is very famous for this and there are regular ten-day meditation retreats available. I'm sure that there is a web-site for this temple, I'll see if I can find it as I was there a couple of months ago and picked up a brochure.

In Chaiya, I spent 5 days long long ago. Bhuthathat was the abbot there. Really nice jungle retreat. But I dont know about an anger management candidate there. Start with something else perhaps.

Good point, what is at the root of this? Booze, drugs, relationship problems or perhaps he's just given up smoking. He's got to help himself first.

I have a self-righteousness to me, the likes those monks aint never seen

best not go to the wat danger, we'd make them lose face with all of our epic proclamations and radical thought shattering deductions.

I'd rather take an ass-kickin than sit on a floor for two weeks eating plain rice and listening to mumbo jumbo. It ain't me babe, oh oh no it ain't me babe.

It may be that a course of counselling would be of more long term benefit, and probably more likely available in BKK than specific workshops.

Wat Pa Nana Chat in Warin Chamrap, Ubon. That's the place.

Well,
if you aren't trolling, check out the Art of Living... It is a nonprofit org near emporium that offers yoga and meditation courses. Speaking from experience, it is very helpful with anger problems.
