BUDDHISM AND MOUNKS:
Buddhism is the national religion in Thailand. Youn men, regradless of social status, are expectec to spend a minimum of three months as monks, usually during Buddhist Lent(Sept/Nov). Monks cannot ask for or earn money but hey may receive donations, paticularly food given by the people who gain merit by their generosity. Most Thai Kings have become ordrained as Buddhist monks either before or after their accession to the throne.They then have to shave off their hair, don the saffron robe, and spend a period of time in the monastery leading the humble life of an ordinary monk.
