Volunteer Claims Death Threat After Improving Patient Health Cuts Temple Donations

A foreign volunteer, known by the pseudonym Leslie, says she was threatened and had her motorcycle tires punctured after helping AIDS patients at Phra Bat Nampu Temple in Lop Buri, as donations dropped due to improved patient health. Investigations revealed that over 760 acres of land bought with donations were registered under relatives of the temple’s late manager, raising concerns over financial mismanagement. Suspicion heightened when the temple’s psychic and medium, “Bee the Ghost Ambassador,” was accused of embezzlement, prompting broader scrutiny of the temple's dealings. Leslie recounted being asked to stop providing care, despite purchasing supplies with her own funds, ultimately leaving the temple in 2004 amid intimidation.
