Report Most Thais Say Rogue Monks Must Face Punishment, Survey Finds
Picture courtesy of ABC Australia | Photographer: Matt Henry A new survey reveals most Thais believe some Buddhist monks have strayed from their spiritual path and should face consequences. Conducted by the National Institute of Development Administration between July 14 and 16, the poll sampled 1,310 Buddhists nationwide. The results are damning, with 76.11% of respondents asserting that certain monks have engaged in activities like drug abuse, alcohol consumption, gambling, and inappropriate relationships. Financial and material obsessions are also a concern, as 45.95% of participants reported some monks being obsessed with wealth and status. An additional 45.80% perceived a materialistic trend among the clergy. Concerns over monks viewing the monkhood as a mere livelihood permeated 40% of responses. Despite these issues, faith in Buddhism remains relatively strong, with 68.55% maintaining their belief intact. However, faith in individual monks has declined for 58.40% of those surveyed, reflecting a complex relationship between the public and their spiritual leaders. Public sentiment heavily favours heightened accountability, as 94.35% of respondents support legal amendments to punish monks breaching monastic rules. Furthermore, 93.20% advocate for consequences for those engaging sexually with monks. This follows scandals involving icons like “Sika Golf” and high-ranking clergy members. The survey underscores a call for reform within the monkhood and suggests a public appetite for increased transparency and discipline in religious communities. As discussions continue, the future of monastic integrity remains a critical area for public and clerical dialogue. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok POst 2025-07-21 -

Report Thailand Braces for Downpours as 'War Room' Springs into Action
Picture courtesy of NNT Thailand has activated a round-the-clock "war room" for real-time monitoring and disaster management as a powerful storm approaches. This urgent measure comes after warnings from the Thai Meteorological Department about heavy rain expected in several northern provinces due to Typhoon Wipha's proximity to northern Vietnam on July 21–22. Interior Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, acting as National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Commander, announced that the North and Northeast should prepare for intense rainfall on July 22–23, potentially causing a rise in the Mekong River's levels. A combination of a low-pressure trough and moist air from the Andaman Sea is forecast to result in widespread precipitation. Phumtham has instructed the Ministry of Interior to vigilantly track weather changes, assess risks, and ensure transparent public communication to avert misinformation. Interior Ministry Permanent Secretary Unsit Sampuntharat has asked provincial leaders to focus on areas receiving over 90 millimetres of rain, regions prone to flooding, and places with inadequate drainage. Officials are tasked with fortifying riverbanks, removing water blockages, and adjusting reservoir management for efficient water flow throughout the waterways. We are preparing emergency services, equipment, and communication channels for swift action. Citizens in high-risk zones are advised to safeguard property and be ready to evacuate if required. Passakorn Boonyalak, Director-General of the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, revealed that a high-level “war room” meeting convened multiple agencies, including the TMD, the Office of the National Water Resources, the Royal Irrigation Department, and GISTDA, to evaluate Typhoon Wipha’s potential threats. The TMD has issued warnings for Chanthaburi, Trat, Ranong, and Phangnga provinces, alongside parts of the Central and Northeastern regions. The TMD urges those living near slopes, waterways, and lowlands to remain vigilant against flash floods and water runoff. As of 4pm Sunday, the TMD reported that Wipha was a tropical storm located in Guangdong province, China. Predicted to affect Thailand with heavy rain from Sunday through Thursday, the storm, coupled with the southwesterly monsoon, is expected to impact the North, the upper Northeast, the western Central Plain, the East, and the southwestern coast. Thailand has implemented weather-related precautions and emergency measures to prepare for potential flood risks and heightened river levels in the coming days.
