Buddhist monks in Laos don't just sit and pray, meditate, or walk on the streets in the morning to collect offerings, but they also need to work hard to keep their temple compound well maintained.

Please note that Buddhist monks can't eat anything after 12pm (noon), so the only way to get their energy back after a hard day's work is to drink some form of liquid.

Yes, they like to do it for their parents while they are still alive, and for their loved ones after they die.

They also like to become Buddhist monks for other reasons, whether it's for short term or long term.

Laotian monks can't get married while they are still a Buddhist monk. They can get married after they stop being a monk, or before they become a monk.

Buddhist monks are allowed to smoke.

Buddhist monks are not allowed to wear jewelry or a watch. He could be a fake Buddhist monk, or a genuine Buddhist monk who is not following the proper rules of Buddhism.

Buddhist monks are allowed to receive monetary donations.

Laotian women can become white-robed Buddhist nuns, and yes they also need to shave their heads.

Buddhist monks can eat red meat and fish. They are not vegetarians unless they choose to be, they are allowed to eat anything that a normal person likes to eat.

They can also eat any type of dessert at the end of their main course meal.

Yes, the same rules apply for Buddhist nuns. Monks are used to waking up early in the morning. They usually have something to eat early in the morning, and then the heavy meals begin at around 11:00am.

Please let me rephrase what I said in my first message.

Buddhist monks and nuns are allowed to eat past 12pm (noon) IF they are still eating. In other words, you can't take the food away from them at 12pm sharp and say "that's it, your time is up".

If Buddhist monks started eating their meals at 11:30am and finished at 12:30pm, that is perfectly fine because they are allowed to continue eating until their stomach is full.

They are not allowed to finish eating at 12pm and then 30 minutes later eat something again at 12:30pm because once they've stopped eating at 12pm, that's the end of their meal time for the day.

The Buddhist rules allow some leniency, for instance if a Buddhist monk is really sick in hospital and the doctor tells them they need to have some food in their system with their medication, then there's no time restrictions when they can eat.

I hope you have learned a few things about Buddhism.

Yes, definitely, but there's no special treatment.

Foreigners need to follow the same rules as any Buddhist monks for when it's time to pray, when it's time to eat, and when it's time to work.

If the head monk tells you to grab a shovel and dig some dirt or sand like those monks you see in the pictures then that's what you need to do.

  Then Laotian Government issues some kind of Buddha/Study Visa for foreigner to live in monastery?

I can't speak for Laos but I know Thailand will grant a non-immigrant O visa for bona fide Buddhist monks or those who wish to join the monastery.  I would imagine Laos would be similar.
