Hello Guys at first sorry my english is not so perfect. But a long time ago I want to write this storie but today a make it... 
Nearly 10 years ago 4 guys from Germany visit me and want to go with me to Laos and North thailand on a motorbike trip. I didn’t know them before. When they arrived in Bangkok Airport I wonder myself they have not much luggage only motorbike clothes helmets that’s all. Small handback. They sit in the plane dressed with motorbike dress including crossboots.
So we have 1 day and one night in Bangkok. Sightseeing tour in Wat Phra Kheo also. Oh my buddha they walk in the Temple with motorbike dress and I follow them mostly 50 meter behind the group. But anyway they are funny.
We fly to Vientiane rent the bikes in Vientiane and start for a 6 day trip.
Good rider much fun and many cold beer in the evening.
One morning we sit in Phonsawan outside our guesthouse and eat breakfast. Suddenly a group of monks walk on the street. The people spend food and praying to the monks. One of this guys ask me what is this, what they doing there. I told them what happen.
Silence… and then a question its shure. They not working only hanging around. Get food from the people oh this is a very very good life. We all have family, must work hard every day and we have only 3 week holiday a year. COUD WE BE MONKS ALSO ? Yes you can.
Ok we want to be monks he told me. I thought ok they are a little bit crazy and I forgot this story.
We are back in Vientiane took a flight to Chiang Mai and start a trip in the north. One day we arrived in Chiang Rai. In the afternoon they talk with my Thai guide now its time to be monks as from tomorrow. Thai guide got a shock. Ha ha.
Visit Doi Mae Salong
Check a crematorium
But then they told us about their idea. Everybody was married a long time. Sometimes they had trouble with their woman and now they wanted to scare them. They need full monk outfit. After than they want send emails home and look like a real monk.
I told them we must go to a barber shop. Cut hair, cut beard and eyebrows absolut no hair anymore. ( on the head only )
I know a good barber shop in Chiang Rai. Opposite from the night market. After dinner we went to the barber shop. What a fun for the Thai barber. They love it and we have a party in the shop. Beer coming and the hair fall. In front of the shop a lot of people looking through the window and cant understand what happen.
Ok, next morning Thai guide came with the monk outfit for this 4 crazy guys. We ride up in the mountain and stop fare away from any village.
They change clothes and we start a foto shooting. Much fun for the boys. Later in the evening in Chiang Rai I send the pictures to their family in Germany.
The day after we are on tour.
Oh my god next day a lot off emails in my account. Their wifes got a shock and many man question. The guys told me please not answer wait 2 or 3 days . Next day many mails coming but no answer. Day 3 now all clear. We coming home.
Later one of them phone me. Their wifes pick the up in Airport Frankfurt. But they did not know their husbands because now they look so different. It s took some time until they found their husbands. I m not shure they got trouble or not but it was a funny time with them….
