Been to Thailand a couple of times and I always thought Buddhist monks were holy lifelong devotees that never did any wrong. Turns out that there is parts of the country where reformed prisoners have the option to join a monastery as a monk to serve their sentence. So in many places, those tough looking monks you see are actually gang members and criminals serving out a sentence .... some of them are honestly reformed, some are working on it, and some are just gaming the system.

You can also avoid military service in Thailand by becoming a monk, but you gotta be one for a good while.
