Thai people believe that all Thai men have to become a monk when they reach the age of 20 or before you get married.The reason of being this is to do it for your parents so when they died they would hold on to your monk's robe and go to heaven....but if you were married before you became a monk,the one who get merit from this are your wife and your kids instead...so that,most thai men will become a monk before getting married to be grateful to their perents.
