In Thailand, 95% of the 62 million inhabitants are Buddhist; mainly Theravada Buddhist, 4% Muslim and 1% Christians of various denominations. Catholics are about 300 thousand. I met these young lads in a copy shop right across from their temple. It is interesting to me, the foreigner, how quiet the monks are.
Every Thai male is expected to become a monk for a short period of time in his life. This happens normally between the time he is in school and ends up in a career or marries. Many stay in the monk hood to become teachers or scholars.
