Controversy Erupts as Monk Protests at Channel 3

Recently, Monk Phee Sao traveled to Channel 3 for a protest demanding justice from the management, which resulted in a conflict between monks and the National Office of Buddhism. The Buddhist Office dispatched a director and officials to monitor the situation, expressing disapproval of Phee Sao's actions, which have historically lacked clear affiliations and sparked societal criticism. Local authorities and temple leaders have issued a notice requiring Phee Sao to return to Wat Sam Chuk within seven days, stating failure to comply would label him as an unauthorized monk. Concurrently, the National Office of Buddhism coordinated with police and religious oversight groups to investigate and take appropriate measures concerning the day's incidents, which saw a crowd supporting Phee Sao and causing chaos in the area. The whole scenario highlights the challenges within the Buddhist community, raising concerns about monk behavior in public settings and the potential repercussions of such actions.
