Daily News Thai Caption: Going downhill daily

Muang Nan police were called to a temple in Pha Sing sub-district of the northern Thai province after a belligerent monk who was paralytically drunk challenged locals to a fight.

He was drunk, noisy and swearing at everyone and what passed for speech was incoherent babble, reported Daily News.

The cops found Phra Pongsiri in the back of a pick-up reeking of booze.

He refused a breathalyser test but agreed to be defrocked.

Locals said he'd been there less than a month but it had been a tempestuous time.

They feared that such an individual, despite being tossed out of the monkhood, would simply reordain elsewhere and continue his errant ways.

Free food and lodgings with money to buy booze... sweet.
