They had heard that monks there were being supplied with yaba - meth mixed with caffiene, a common illegal drug in Thailand. Urine tests were carried out on the abbot and two monks who all tested positive for the stimulant.

He admitted to partaking of one yaba pill a day while his monks said they had been on a three day bender. After taking the drug they would have the energy to cut the grass and prune the trees. The local Buddhist authorities were in the process of defrocking the three clergy ahead of their prosecution for drug taking. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-05-11 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Stargeezr Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Thought came to one of these monks a bit late I would say, or maybe to all three of them. De Frocked, now they will have to move and find a temple somewhere else and even change their names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
