While many do so because of economic reasons, there are many others who do so for merit, for education, because they were jilted, and many because they believe in the teachings of the Buddha and want to escape the bondage to this cycle of death and birth. Hi Onlooker,

The generalisation about Burmese and Thais becoming monks is, well, rather general! While many do so because of economic reasons, there are many others who do so for merit, for education, because they were jilted, and many because they believe in the teachings of the Buddha and want to escape the bondage to this cycle of death and birth.
