Hang on. Am I reading it right that Grade 5 students are offering sexual services! Forget about the cross dressing, sneaking out, and doing it within the grounds of a temple. Grade 5 is about 10-11 years old! Call the police!

No need.

They'll out themselves when they dump a newborn in a petrol station rubbish bin.

Yes it is. My former TG claimed to be a Buddhist and also said she was going to heaven when she died.

This is either common or I'm dating you're former TG as the exact same thing was said to me

About most things, actually. 

He's looking for luuuuv outside holy hours. It's just a phase he's going through and I dare say he's been through a lot and not just the monks.

M5 is about 16/17

It does say GRADE 5 in the article which is 10/11 years old, don't forget a novice monk can be any age. In the photo, he doesn't look like a 16/17-year-old.

During the 90s, Seinfeld had an episode where Cosmo Kramer helped develop a Man Bra for those in need. Maybe these monks need a little help.

Within the brackets it says "ม5". That's grade 5 of high school. Grade 11 equivalent, 16/17 year olds.

Maybe they had misunderstood a convoluted synopsis, about a fortcoming lesson on Brahman ?

Well she obviously knows a lot more about Buddhism than you do. 

Your posts seem to be arguments looking for a venue.

 

The premise of Buddhism is reincarnation in an endless cycle called saṃsāra until you achieve enlightenment.

There are several Buddhist "heavens" that you come to after death and stay in before you are reborn.

Correct, or secondary year 5, as we say in the UK.

A Buddhist monk walks up to a hot dog vendor and says: "Make me one with everything."

After a brief chuckle, the vendor makes the hot dog and gives it to the monk, saying "That will be $4 please". After the monk hands over a $10 bill, he finds himself waiting uncomfortably while the vendor does nothing except stare back at him.

Awkwardly the monk asks "What about my change?" "Ah," replies the hot dog vendor, "Change must come from within."

 

Good one !!!

Two monks are discussing, one asks the other, do you think we will see the end of celibacy ??

nah !!!, said the other,..but our children will !!!!

There is no Secondary Year 5 in the UK.

I believe he was talking about the language used in translation.

 

M5 is indeed the 5th year of secondary school. That is how it is referred to in British English, as apposed to US English using Grade 11.

 

However, your post is interesting. When I was a student in UK we only had 4 years at high-school. "Year 11" on your link would have been first year of college and A levels.

There are 4 separate education systems in the UK. 

I was talking about the superior one, where the King studied.

Very typical of Thai culture.  Protect reputations and avoid loss of face.  The actual damage done is irrelevant.

short time monks. no surprise at all considering the multitude of stories over the years showing the reality of what happens in many of these so called temples. 

They're not even short time monks. They're 11th grade students sent to a temple school, probably unwillingly. The equivalent of boarding school for trouble making kids.
