Concerning the monks I saw drinking Fruit juices on buses, it seems allowed in afternoon and evening as long as they have been filtered (smoothie is not allowed then), and for many communities the juices from large fruits (watermelon, pineapple, coconut, jack fuits) are forbidden, even if filtered.

If they are not hungry they should drink water only, not sugar-loaded drinks.

Agree, Thai Monkhood is clearly bending the rules here, nothing unusual here
You've been given links to the rules, why are you now making new rules up? What you THINK they should be is entirely irrelevant.


BTW, the rules say you can eat if you're travelling.
