Phra Dhammasutee

 

The abbot of Hua Lamphong Temple, Phra Dhammasutee (Narin Narintho), has been named acting monastic chief of Bangkok.

 

The appointment takes effect immediately as the post became vacant after Phra Phromdilok (Euan Hasadhammo) was defrocked last Thursday over embezzlement and money-laundering charges. 

 

The former monk is being held at Bangkok Remand Prison. 

 

Chana Songkram Temple’s assistant abbot Phra Thepsutee (Saichon Thanawutto), in his capacity as the chief of Monastic Region 1 (Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani and Samut Prakan), named Phra Dhammasutee as Bangkok’s monastic chief. 

 

The Sangha Supreme Council (SSC) will be asked to acknowledge the appointment on May 30.
