Ubon Ratchathani—On November 8th, 2023, the Dam Rong Dhama Organization and Thai Government Department of Inspection and Complaints received a report from a good citizen that a monk allegedly took illicit drugs and distributed them to local teenagers in Natan, Ubon Ratchathani.

Mr. Ubon Peerapornpanya, the Natan District Chief, Natan police officers, and relevant officials performed an investigation on the monk who was later identified as Mr. Surasit Sukhan.

 

At the Ban Na Udom Temple, Surasit was reportedly found under the influence of drugs in front of a monk cubicle. The police officers then asked to search inside the cubicle and found 10 amphetamine pills.
