As a novice monk, they have to obey the ten precepts. This includes basic things like not stealing or lying and also not eating after noon. But they can drink liquids in the afternoon like milk. At the end of the ceremony, the abbot reads the 10 precepts out in Pali which is the ancient language of the scriptures. The novices have to repeat them after him. The new novice monks now prostrate three times and leaves the hall.

A common misconception is that monks in Thailand are monks for life and while true for some the majority will serve only a temporary or short-term Buddhist monk ordination. This can be days, weeks, months or years and at some period during their lives most Thai men will serve as a monk in ordination. After completing their term they then return to ‘laity’ in normal life. A popular period for temporary ordination is the Thai summer holidays between April and June a period where the number of monks in Thailand can double and up. Through Buddhist teachings and meditation short-term monks will be prepared to fill their future roles as good citizens.

yeah i don't understand this stuff either - how long is he a monk for?

 

Some part-time, that's usually as an experience - because TOP was ordained, I imagine that's for life. And due to his Father's social standing in Thailand, I'd imagine he would be very pissed if TOP failed to follow through with the Buddhist traditions.

 

Must have been TOP's choice, fair play to him. Usually does mean living at a monastery, so his involvement in LCFC will more than likely become void.

 

no sex either.

This is the announcement
