If you wish to become a Theravada monk, it would be easiest for you to travel to Thailand and ordain under a teacher at one of the temples that accepts Western students. Here are some temples to consider (links below): International Buddhist Meditation Center (Bangkok) Suan Mokkh (Surat Thani) Northern Insight Meditation Center (Chiang Mai) I’ve also listed below an online guide to meditation centers in Thailand. Best wishes!
