Temple abbot expelled for porn and meth

Police say a Kanchanaburi-province temple’s abbot has been a very naughty monk.

Police said Prasong Sirirojlohachai, aka Phra Prasong Analyo, 41, was actually high on drugs when they went to arrest him, and he was subsequently defrocked Friday at the Wat Dong Phong in Sai Yok district.

They found evidence of an undisclosed narcotic from a pee-test.

Checking out what was on the abbot’s phone, police said they found a lot of porn and even clips of his holiness scoring some ice from drug dealers, Bangkok Post reported.

Prasong, who was temple abbot for three years, reportedly confessed to drug abuse, at which point he was escorted to an expulsion ceremony to strip him of his robes.
