Chiang Mai 4 days in the temple for young boys

Recommended Posts

Whilst searching for another video I came across this 2 part video of very young boys being prepared for 4 days as a [?]

 

I have always understood that all boys are expected to go to the temple to make merit for their families. One month minimum at least, if not 3 months was my understanding. But these boys look to be primary school age. Is this visit of 4 days similar to first communion in some reliigions?

I have known young men join a Wat for two weeks. I always thought it depends as much on how long the family want their son to be in the Wat and on how much they can afford, since the Wat has to get paid.
