Becoming a monk in Thailand

An interesting post on the Life Coaches Blog today: Alvin writes about his friend who has gone to Thailand to become a Buddhist monk. The friend, now known as Phra Abhi-Bhun-Noo Paiboon, writes a short description of the process of taking on this new identity. I’ve already read descriptions of this in Phra Farang, the memoir written by an Englishman who became a monk, set up a charity to provide education for Thai children, and subsequently returned to lay life to run it. Still, I hope that Phra Paiboon will continue to contribute blog entries on his new life.
