Abbot locks himself in dog cage in protest

By The Nation

 

 

The abbot of Wat Kho Suppharat temple in Angthong province locked himself in a cage at 10am on Thursday (August 13) after officials from the Supreme Sangha showed up to punish him for allegedly disturbing locals with his loud sermons.

 

However, local residents surrounded the cage to show that they fully supported the 61-year-old abbot and denied complaining about his loud sermons.

 

 

They also said that no investigation had been initiated and it was unfair that the officials were ordered to punish the abbot.

 

Abbot Nopparat Thongyoi said he felt like he was facing injustice and decided to lock himself in a dog cage as a symbolic protest.

Yes, Worgeordie  You must have been in Thailand a long time and I am  not complaining but one gets used to extremely noisy occurrences and ranging from very loud music at parties and the bike exhausts and of course the soi dogs  disturbing the neighbours sleep. 
Someone complained and not me and get the reply "well call the police then" The same people who complain when their sleep is disturbed when a huge party in the next Soi. Hyprogites the word
One unfortunately gets use to it but the latter are a real menace and not just children but adults are scared of them and they were of course once pets sadly discarded.
