So I was in Chiang Rai for a week living in a temple. A temple by the border of Myanmar/Burma called Waat Thum Pae Jhum.
It was definitely an experience seeing how a monk lives his life. I did it for a day, they do it everyday.
They woke me up at 2.45am and start their days at 3am to do prayers/chanting and then spend a few hours meditating.
The monks then carry a bart each into town walking around collecting offerings from willing devotees.
They then go back after collecting the food and split it equally amongst themselves while the nuns cook for everyone.
to be continued...
