Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild (2013)

Season 7: Episode 3

Deep into the jungle mountains of Thailand on the border with Myanmar and far off any conventional map, Ben spends time with 40-year-old French-Canadian Julien. He’s been a Buddhist monk for almost half his life, living in a remote monastery. Ben learns why this former teenage student from the West stripped away all complications of a modern lifestyle for a primitive Eastern religious existence.
