The post highlighted the monk's indulgences, sparking criticism for contradicting Buddhist principles of simplicity and humility.

The transcription below provides the summary of the Good Morning Thailand program, hosted by Alex and Jay. The program includes varied stories from across Thailand and Southeast Asia countries. The stories range from a plan to extend alcohol sales hours in Thailand to Indonesia's $38 Billion Capital Relocation. 1. **Thailand Halts Extended Alcohol Sales Hours Citing Safety Concerns**: The Thai government has halted plans to extend alcohol sales hours due to rising road casualties and accidents. Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsutin emphasized the importance of public safety after a tense meeting. The current sales hours of 11 am-2 pm and 5 pm-midnight will remain unchanged. A pilot project in tourist areas extending sales by two hours led to increased accidents and fatalities. Despite the firm stance, five draft laws on alcohol sales are still pending review. The Ministry of Tourism estimates significant revenue boosts if hours are extended, but safety concerns prevail. Authorities must balance tourism growth with public health priorities. 2. **Friends Turn Foes in Bizarre Temple Brawl in East Pattaya**: A bizarre brawl near Huai Yai Temple in East Pattaya left two friends critically injured. On June 18, a playful banter between 36-year-old Weerayut Chomthalak and 58-year-old Thongchai Tiendaeng escalated into violence. Weerayut, wielding a baseball bat, and Thongchai, armed with a knife, clashed, resulting in severe injuries. Eyewitnesses called emergency services, and Thongchai was detained by a bystander. He claimed he was provoked by Weerayut's drunken behavior, while Weerayut insisted his jesting unintentionally sparked the altercation. Police are reviewing CCTV footage to ensure justice for both men. 3. **Khon Kaen Police Hunt Serial Flasher**: Police in Khon Kaen are searching for a man named Billy, 32, for repeatedly masturbating in public.

The raids occurred at a warehouse in Nakhon Pathom and a house in Bangkok, uncovering large quantities of e-cigarettes and e-liquids. The suspects, who claimed to be caretakers, are under investigation. Authorities highlighted the growing concern over e-cigarette use among students and urged parental education on the health risks.

Temperatures surpassing 122 degrees have caused severe health issues among inmates, including boils, rashes, and heat-related illnesses. Overcrowding, a legacy of former President Duterte's anti-drug campaign, forces some inmates to sleep on roof decks. The Supreme Court has ordered judges to inspect jails due to climate change impacts. Despite slight improvements under President Marcos Jr., significant policy changes are needed for long-term solutions. Advocates call for better ventilation and other measures to alleviate the extreme heat. 8. **Indonesia's $38 Billion Capital Relocation Faces Delays**: Indonesia's capital city, Jakarta, home to over 10 million people, is sinking rapidly due to climate change and the swampy land it sits on. By 2050, experts predict that a third of Jakarta could be submerged. In response, Indonesia plans to relocate its capital to Nusantara on the island of Borneo, aiming to create a sustainable forest city, carbon-neutral by 2045, with an estimated cost of $38 billion. However, the project faces delays and higher-than-expected costs, with recent resignations of key team members. Convincing people to move remains a challenge, raising concerns about the project's feasibility.
