I could not actually get the meaning of those thin beards with a few hair but it looks so authentic :)
Yes, he was so authentic that totally got my eye! Thanks!

This is not uncommon in Thailand. Yes, it could be just a style, but it is also a living "forest monk" tradition, separate from the saffron theravadan monks - you'd have to look at his amulets to tell the difference! ;-)

True! He was such a character!
