An entrepreneurial temple in Mae Sai has a monk coffee shop, and the barista’s are the monks themselves. It’s a pay as you like establishment on top of the hill by a huge Buddha statue, with great views of the city and the forest. This route through the mountains has been very popular as a night time illegal border crossing.
It’s interesting to see the monks be more interactive. In a few temples I have seen and participated in Monk Chat sessions, here in Thailand and in Laos. It’s a win win situation to talk to a monk and also they can practise their English!
