Police from the Suppression Division seized a notorious orange round wooden table from Putthaisawan Temple in Ayutthaya Province following a formal request from the temple committee. According to reports, the committee asked authorities to remove the table because it was used by the former abbot and a senior monk for inappropriate purposes, making it deeply inauspicious and unsuitable for a royal temple. The table is being held temporarily at the suppression division's headquarters while the temple committee and authorities discuss what should be done with it next. The case is connected to an ongoing investigation involving the former abbot, who was found to have hidden hundreds of millions of baht in cash and gold bars in his quarters.
