Monk defrocked despite denying sex party claims

Soldiers and the local authority swooped on a Chainat temple after townsfolk told them a woman called “A” had gone to have sexual relations with a monk.

When the military arrived at Wat Khao Tha Lap Phra Somporn Sukhesino – in lay life called plain Somporn Singpreecha – and A were in separate rooms in the cloister.

However, under her bed they found a used condom.

In the monk’s room they located the woman’s bag and purse in a drawer of his.

Their explanations didn’t add up to a cohesive denial of sexual misdemeanour.

The confusion – and scepticism – of the soldiers was compounded when a 12 year old “dek wat” (temple child) associate of Somporn said that the condom was in fact his.

He was in the habit of urinating in condoms for fun, reported Manager.

His urine was tested for drugs but nothing untoward was detected.

Then another lady showed up. “B” said that she and “A” had spent the night in Somporn’s room in the past but nothing irregular happened.

Amid all this shenanigans the military took Somporn to a local Buddhist religious leader for defrocking as they were convinced that he had brought the good name of the religion into disrepute.
