1. Splash holy-water blessed by a monk on my head and shoulders with a flower (brings good luck)
2. Buy an eel and release him back into the water to "ensure a smooth and happy life" (potential problem: my eel was quickly swarmed by a million catfish so I'm hoping he survived)
3. Get blessed by a monk in a temple (comes with a bracelet and brings good fortune)
4. Put 180 coins into 180 buckets to signify the past 180 lives of Buddha (again with the luck) (potential problem: I might have missed some buckets and ended up with a few handfuls of coins at the end...)
In fact, only one of these was "free" so I guess what I am really doing for good karma is donating money to the Buddhists.
Great day touring Bangkok today - will write more later. Must pack, leaving hotel at 4:45am for flight to Vietnam!
