A Buddhist abbot of a local temple in Nakhon Sri Thammarat reportedly fled after being wanted by the provincial police for allegedly drinking alcohol and smoking pot at his cubicle in a local temple.

 

The investigation began after several pictures of the abbot of a temple in the Nopphitam district were widely shared on social media ten days ago, showing what appeared to be two Buddhist monks drinking a can of beer and lighting a lighter to smoke what it claimed to be cannabis.

 

As of 10:30 AM. on Wednesday, November 24th, Natphon Brahminpoon, Senior deputy district chief, and the Nopphitam district police arrived at the temple for investigation and discovered that the abbot and his fellow monk as seen in the pictures had already left the temple since yesterday.

Probably a monk doing "merit" for drug running outside.

Never know who you're going to bump into in a temple these days.

Yes, nothing like having your marriage blessed by a bunch of drunken monks smelling of weed !
