Thai-Chinese novices 
	
practicing 
 
Mahayana Buddhism, 
i.e.  
the form of Buddhism which is today mainly 
practiced in countries of northeastern Asia. These off-duty novices in Bangkok 
are dressed in an orange jacket and long 
baggy 
kaangkaeng le trousers
(fig.), 
though during prayers they are 
likely to wear a long orange robe (fig.). 
However, the dress for 
Mahayana Buddhist monks and novices differs greatly 
per country (fig.).
