A ten-day vacation to the enchanting landscapes of Northern Thailand unexpectedly morphed into a start of a remarkable new life for Maggie Calder. Unexpectedly she began to learn the Buddhist Dharma, fully immersing in daily teachings.

She committed herself to living in a remote temple nestled deep within the lush jungle, where the absence of running water, electricity and bugs challenged her in ways she had never anticipated.

Two years later, upon returning back Chiang Mai, Maggie continued her spiritual journey by studying under a new teacher, the esteemed master monk Phra Bhasakorn. With wisdom and insight, he assigned her the task of observing the sex trade to understand the source of her unease, revealing a clear sign of intertwined karma at work. Undeterred by the dangers present in this complex environment, Maggie’s relentless determination to advocate for the vulnerable young children selling their bodies in this troubling industry led to the creation of a secret opportunity that ultimately enriched an entire community.

The book detailing her extraordinary journey is currently in the process of being published, promising to share her inspiring story with the world.
