Monk camp in forerest behind temple.

in #travel7 years ago

Was driving around and passed this very nice temple that I went in and looked around but noticed that there were no living quarters on the premises as there usually is so asked one of the young apprentices where they lived and he pointed to a forest some away from the road behind the temple.

My curiosity bid me to go and have a look and about a km into the forest they had this camp set up.

Some had done more to their homes than others for sure as you can see on the next pictures.

This one must be so hot at day and very noisy in the raining season.

A straw one like this one I guess is much more comfortable.

Quite a number of different designs to choose from.

Different styles and materials.

No luxury or unnecessary stuff.

Just a place to sleep and have the few belongings.

Guess they charge their mandatory smartphone in the temple.

Love it. I wish I could travel again. Thanks for sharing this. If only we led simple lives like this in the US. They probably have solar panels for their cellphones. lol. I bet after a hard day at the monastary, they get home and order Thai or chinese delivery, brought to them by motorscooter, and paid for with litecoin. lol. Sometimes it gets boring, so they mix it up and order mexican and pizza hut, lol.

Thank you.
Some of them walk around the villages in the morning where you can see them walk around with their bucked on their stomach and people also bring to the temple. As I have understood it, they are not allowed to eat after midday, but could be wrong about that.
