You sleep under trees or in caves. Most of them are of Buddhist religion and in the east, in Malaysia, Thailand, 

The custom of feeding Buddhist monks is called almsgiving or dāna. It's a long-standing tradition in Theravada Buddhist countries, including Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka.
