I know I wouldn't enter a temple and sit at the same level with one of them. Non priests are always supposed to sit lower. I avoid going in to the temples altogether. Also I avoid getting near them in general. They aren't supposed to touch women, so I don't want to make that difficult for them.
Our Thai teacher said that people are supposed to lower their whole body when passing them on the street, and not look at them. I suppose the not looking at them would be no problem, I just am not sure about the lowering of the whole body. Where does the line of showing respect to someone other than God come in?
