A campaign by a social media influencer to chase indecent monks out of Buddhism has turned ugly as he wrongly targeted a senior monk in the northeastern province of Yasothon.
Jeeraphan Phetkao, a famous shaman also known as Mor Pla, who is also a self-proclaimed guardian of Buddhism, now faces the prospect of legal action after the setback. Some media outlets seeking to sensationalise the story are also coming under scrutiny.
