BBC NEWS | World | Asia-Pacific | Thai monks mix Buddha with Beckham
Topic: Football 4:09 pm EDT, Jul  4, 2006

Like billions of other people around the world, 25-year-old Phra Prawit is avidly following the World Cup - and especially his favourite team, France.

On the other side of Bangkok, 28-year-old England fan Pramaha Preecha is equally addicted to the beautiful game.

But Prawit, Preecha and their football-mad friends have a problem: they are Buddhist monks and have to be awake at 5am every morning to collect alms from the local community.
