A novice monk in Thailand has been accused of dressing up as a woman, selling sex to other novices and monks in the temple, and partying in nightclubs.
A Facebook page shared an image of the novice in question fastening a black bra around his chest. Accompanying the image, the caption reads, “Dressing up like a girl, providing sex services, and hunting for men. Having sex with other monks and novices in the temple.”
“Locals complained to the abbot who knows everything but ignores it. Some monks and novices in the temple are also curious about the issue. Why has no one done anything? A royal monastery in Khon Kaen.”
According to Thaiger, Channel 3 interviewed locals living nearby the temple about the issue and they identified the novice featured in the picture as J, confirming that he indeed has been contravening the rules of Thai Buddhism.
According to the locals, the novice always dresses up like a woman at night and goes out of the temple to party in nightclubs. He also has sex with other monks and novices in the temple for free and for money.
Currently, the National Office of Buddhism has not provided any response or taken any action in response to the matter. Additionally, the name of the temple remains undisclosed.
The novice was also accused of having sex with a man at an accommodation on the temple premises, something he denied.
