Shut down! Monk with the hammer and clinic staff talking to police

The clinic in Nonthaburi where a monk with a hammer was treating Thais and foreigners has been raided and ordered shut immediately.

Five people were taken to Pak Kret police station after it was found that the “Avatar Clinic” in Soi Sukhaprachasan 48, Nonthaburi, had no license.

The raid was joined by public health officials and the local district chief.

Monk Phra Maha Siphrai Apatro was not there when the raiding party arrived.

Tnews reported he was on his way to the station to be questioned about his role.

Earlier in the week he was pictured with a hammer treating people with back and neck ailments.

Many said that the place was engaged in quackery though the staff claimed that patients liked the treatment and came back for more.
