Life as a monk is anything but easy. Towards the evening, when the flow of tourists in the famous temple of Wat Arun in Bangkok / Thailand dries up, the monks clean and prepare the complex again. Immersed in prayer and deep meditation during the day, the monks have to do heavy gardening work for several hours in the evening. Not an easy task in very high temperatures and extreme humidity.
