KAMPHAENG PHET, Feb 7 (TNA) – Coffins were placed in front of a concert stage at an annual temple fair following consecutive nights of intense youth clashes resulting in multiple injuries.

The tactic initiated by the deputy abbot of Wat Karuehabodisong is proved to be effective as there was no such incident on the last day of the event.

 

The temple fair was held to allow devout disciples to pay respect the preserved body of the former abbot, Luangpu Wibunwachiratham, which has defied decomposition for more than 47 years.

The deceased monk has been highly revered and his amulets are believed to offer protection for wearers.

Notice to disrespect youth... go pick your fight venue somewhere else, you're not welcome here.

Great idea. Maybe coffins should be placed at strategic intervals on major roads. With signs saying "Will this be your next stop? Slow the fxxx down!".
