[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi guys :)

While my trip to Thailand I found out that Monks have to shave their heads once a month on the day before the full moon.
Thai people believe that all Thai men have to become a monk when they reach the age of 20. The reason being is to do it for your mother so when she died she would hold on to your monk's robe and go to heaven.
