Monk Chat at MCU Buddhist University by Wat Suan Dok — Mon/Wed/Fri usually 5–7pm (confirm schedule on arrival, times shift). Free, respectful dress, ask anything about Buddhism or Thailand. Monks want English practice — not a tourist show. Sit on floor, women don't touch monks. Combine sunset at Suthep another day — this is conversation not sightseeing. Arrive 10 min early; small groups rotate.
