An alarming incident took place in the Udon Thani province of Thailand when a 42 year old Buddhist monk, identified as Damrongsak, suddenly disrobed and walked naked in the streets, unsettling nearby residents.

 

The monk, who originally hails from Ban Pho Chon Temple in Phetchabun province, was discovered having discarded his garments near a local community school, yesterday, May 21, reported Sanook. Upon investigation, Damrong was found to hold a valid identification, verifying his position as a religious figure.

 

Damrongsak’s behaviour immediately drew concern from those who witnessed the scene, as the naked monk crossed the street to a food stall, owned by a 42 year old woman named Suphaporn and her 43 year old brother Chaiya Lasonti.

 

Damrongsak climbed into a bronze Nissan pick-up truck—registration plate KhS 5258 Chonburi—owned by Chaiya, making matters more alarming for the onlookers who had never encountered something like this. To help contain the situation, Chaiya and Suphaporn offered Damrongsak water and urged the monk back into his garments, cleaning him up before authorities intervened.

Monks are getting out of control at least he didn't spill thousands of baht all over the road from his temples donations when he voluntarily defrocked.

 

Looks like he defrocked and flashed his c**k and added a parking space for one bicycle to me ????

If a farang did that he would end up in jail. What punishment for the monk?

This is just weird.  If you take a video of a car you have to blur out the license, but then the media reports the number.  ???

Regarding the (ex) monk.  The Thai sangha seems to be going to hell in a hand-basket.  Behavior like this is becoming way too frequent.
