Foremost it is a cultural thing, much like many community centers however, the Buddhist culture is estimated to be over 90% of the people in Thailand.

Thai young novice monks are respected by Thais everywhere in the country. These Thai boys get to spend weeks in the summer living with their best friends, the same children that live next door, and the same friends they go to school with.

The cultural aspect of becoming a novice monk is the idea of . Merit has to do with karma, and one gain merit by
certain things, and this merit makes life better, and can also help in the afterlife. Becoming a monk is an act of great merit. However only men can become monks, so a woman cannot gain this huge amount of merit that is generated by becoming a monk.
But, when a woman’s son becomes a monk or a novice monk the mother gains a great amount of merit. This is one of the main reasons an older man becomes a monk, for his .
To say: “thank you for everything you have done for me mom”.

For these reasons, almost 90% of all Thai Buddhist men become a at some point in their lives. It is important to note that this commitment can be any length of time the man wants, a week or a lifetime. Most become a monk for a few weeks.

When these children become novice monks for a couple of weeks, they go to school every day, they have access to a computer, they will get some English language training, and discipline training, they eat as well if not better than at home, they get to be with their best friends all the time, and for a short period of time, they will be highly respected by everyone Thai that they come into contact with.

Granted, the education and advantages of this process are only for a short time, but in life you take what you can get, and a little more education and healthy experiences are always a good thing.

This culture or any culture chooses to educate its children in the morals and religious customs of their society.

Fortunately, people in Thailand have the option to follow what they believe in as long as it is not breaking the local laws.
Young Thai children go to school the same as most first-world children. The parents have a choice of free public education or private schools.

They also have a summer break the same as most kids. The quality of Thai free public education varies according to location, which determines the amount of funding for a school. In our rural area of the few teachers available are very good and dedicated, however funding is small for the facilities, so you will rarely find things like computers, and you won’t find foreign language instruction.

does have summer camps like first-world countries, but these are very expensive, so you won’t find many parents in Singburi, that can ship their children off to summer camps like many people do in wealthier countries.
