Different types of bags for Buddhist monks and nuns
such as Monk’s document wallet for the Bai Suthi and Monk’s kangaroo waist bag and much more.
Monk’s document wallet for the Bai Suthi is a small pouch or carry wallet for monks and novice monks, used to keep important documents organized such as the Bai Suthi (a monk’s official identification card), ATM cards, hospital cards for monks, and small amounts of donated money/cash. It typically has dedicated card slots and is often made from PU leather or genuine leather. It comes in many designs for convenient everyday carry.
Monk’s kangaroo waist bag is a waist bag for monks, worn by threading it onto the pakot (waist sash/belt). It is used to store personal essentials such as a mobile phone, balm/ointment, keys, and documents in a convenient and orderly way. It is designed with multiple zippered compartments so items are easy to access, and it is usually durable and water-resistant. Common materials include high-quality fabrics such as Toray fabric or ripstop fabric. It is suitable for monks who need to carry many items, or monks who do a lot of work and need practical storage.
