I'm in Chiang Mai and I heard about a Temple where you can study Buddhism and become a Monk for 2 weeks. Does anyone know about this?

I stayed at a temple in Fang (near Chiang Mai) for 2 weeks through an ngo called bloodfoundation.org. They arranged for an English speaking Dhamma teacher and everything else.

you can in theory become a "Monk" for a fortnight at any temple. however you might find the regime and language barriers too much. I suspect that any stay geared for westerners may involve some serious "donations".
