On 10th November 2022, a clip of a Thai kid cosplaying a monk went viral and amused a lot of viewers. The kid reportedly grabbed his father’s loincloth to wear as the monk’s robe, and swung a broom around as a talipot fan, starting to chant fluently. In the end, the kid funnily sprinkled holy water towards the recorder, Ch3plus.

Lastly, a woman saluted him and addressed him as a senior monk in the future.


Wishing him all the best when he grows up


Perhaps the boy’s parents had taken this pious kid to the temple often or had attended a lot of Buddhist rituals, inspiring him to cosplay as a monk impressively. We’re sure whoever has watched the video would also be amused by the kid’s antics.

With this amount of resolve and drive, we agree that he has a promising future as an adult. That’s right, perhaps he’ll one day attain monkhood and truly devote himself to the religion.
