Officially, only men can become monks and novices in Thailand under a Buddhist order that, since 1928, has forbidden the ordination of women. A growing number of women are defying generations of Thai Buddhist tradition by becoming ordained as novice monks at an unrecognised but all-female monastery. The government maintains that this is not gender discrimination but a matter of long-held tradition, and women are free to travel abroad to be ordained, just not in their own country.Thank you
