Discussion of ordination, the Vinaya and monastic life. How and where to ordain? Bhikkhuni ordination etc.

Hello,
Does anyone knows what is the visa situation for those already ordained who wouldike to go and stay in Thailand for some time ?
And are there any suggestion of (rather small) monasteries whith as few rituals, chantings, etc, as possible, but perhaps with experienced bhikkhus around ? And any idea if survival on vegetarian food is possible ?
Thanks for any information !
With metta,
PS: very good forum !!

If you find a temple to stay in, which isn't difficult, the residing monks there will assist you getting the proper paperwork to obtain a one year visa...make sure to enter Thailand on a non-immigrant visa...And are there any suggestion of (rather small) monasteries whith as few rituals, chantings, etc, as possible, but perhaps with experienced bhikkhus around ?

Tall order but doable...same with being a vegi, not easy but doable...PM me with any specific queries...Thanks for any information !
