two nin (junior monks)
Appoximately 95% of Thais are Theravada Buddhist.  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 beetwen 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.
