Becoming a Monk?

I want to become a Buddhist monk in the future. It is very common for Thai men and some farang to become a monk for a short period of time. I want to understand Buddhism better to meditate everyday, hopefully this will help me become a better person. I also think it might help in my understanding of Thai culture which will improve the photographs.

I would like to be a monk in some rural temple far from the cities where I could live alone with other monks and Thai locals far from the farang influence in Thailand. Not sure when I can do this but it would be great to do it for 1 to 6 months.

Hopefully I can become a monk before I am to old to benefit from what might be a life altering experience.
