But it was his grandmother who took the main responsibility for Tanapon before he already at the age of five became a novice monk with his uncle Sombat, a wandering monk, \"Phra Thu Dong\", without a real home.<\/p>\r\n - It was tough times to walk around sometimes barefoot in heat, rain and disease. In the early mornings we went around villages to get gifts and food from the villagers.

Nine months of the year is one long trek with overnight stays in various temples, jungles or in huts by rice fields among snakes, mosquitoes and sometimes elephants and even tigers. Only for three months in the rainy season do they stay permanently at a \"home temple\".<\/p>\r\n You can recognize them by the slightly brownish saffron-yellow clothing they wear. Sometimes they hold a parasol which is described as the house or home. They hike in larger and smaller groups and there are also young helpers, a kind of all-in-one who helps with most things.<\/p>\r\n - I got a lot of respect from the population during the walk which leads to getting closer to the Buddha. It is a kind of education to live in harmony with nature without striving for power and positions in society, says Tanapon.<\/p>\r\n Moved to Singapore<\/strong><\/p>\r\n After a few years as a wandering monk, Tanapon reconnected with his Swedish father and moved with his sister to Singapore, where the father had a business.<\/p>\r\n - It\u2019s a big change to come to state-of-the-art Singapore, but already after seven months, father dies after a period of illness, says Tanapon.<\/p>\r\n Together with the father's girlfriend at the time, he and his sister were forced to leave Singapore and return to Thailand and the monk life.<\/p>\r\n Tanapon had to go to temple school where he got basic knowledge in mathematics, language, history and above all Buddhist religion.<\/p>\r\n At the age of 18 \u2013 after total 13 years of monk life - Tanapon got the opportunity to travel to Sweden thanks to his father's girlfriend in Singapore.
