We were quite shocked when we saw this monk having a long and friendly chat through his mobile phone. In a way, they look so out of this world that you dont imagine that they have phones, computers or anything like that. We were told later that many Thai man spend a 3-month period of their youth living as monks. Perhaps this young man was not a full time monk. Or perhaps monks really have mobile phones, I dont knowNos quedamos bastante flipados cuando vimos a este monje que llevaba un buen rato de charla divertida a traves de su telefono movil (celular). De algun modo, los monjes parecen tan fuera de este mundo que no te imaginas que tengan telefonos, ordenadores ni nada por el estilo. Nos dijeron despues que muchos thais pasan un periodo de tres meses de su juventud viviendo como monjes. Quizas este joven no era un monje a tiempo completo, sino que solo estaba pasando ese periodo. O quizas los monjes tengan realmente telefonos moviles, no lo se.

We visited Bangkok on the year of 60th anniversary of King Bumiphol ascension to throne. Many Thai people were celebrating it by wearing a shirt of Kings colour (yellow) on Mondays (in fact, we saw people wearing those shirts every day of the week, but on Mondays there were a greater number of them). King Bumiphol was born on a Monday, and the colour for this day is yellow. Most of Thai people love their king and wore this clothes as a symbol of respectVisitamos Bangkok en el año del 60 aniversario de la ascension del Rey Bhumiphol al trono. Muchos thai lo celebraban llevando una camisa o polo del color del Rey (amarillo) los lunes (de hecho vimos a gente llevando esas camisas todos los dias de la semana, pero los lunes habia un numero mas grande). El rey Bhumiphol nacio un lunes, y el color para este dia es el amarillo. Las mayoria de los thailandeses quieren mucho a su rey y llevan estas prendas como simbolo de respeto.
