From what I understand, these kinda periods as a budhist monk are quite normal for Thai men to have a short 'sabbatical', so I'm pretty sure this is just for a few months (tops) and after that he'll be kneeing and elbowing people in the head again.
I was there, the big BNB blackout of november, 2008. We lost many that day...

Yup it is very normal from what I have read over the years, its part of life for men over there.
Strangley I was listning to the Ong Bak - Bey Logan commentary the other day, I am sure he said a few actors/stuntmen did exactly that.

The other stuff mentioned in that article isn't normal though.
