Renowned monk admitted to hospital
Renowned monk Luang Phor Khoon Parisuttho was admitted to a local hospital in Nakhon Ratchasima yesterday morning with a high fever and nausea.
The abbot of Wat Ban Rai in Dan Khun Thod district has been treated and diagnosed with mild sepsis. Doctors said the monk was pale and had became lethargic, but his fever and vomiting had stopped after receiving initial treatment.
Visitors are barred from seeing the 84yearold monk.
Close aides said the monk met with a large number of visitors during the Loy Krathong festival last Saturday and doctors said his illness could have stemmed from a lack of rest.
