Revered monk opts for another week in hospital

Renowned preacher Luang Pho Khun is progressing well after surgery last week, according to the seventh Siriraj Hospital statement released yesterday.

He can now swallow better and walk with assistance for 20 metres, while his speech improves. "His overall improvements in the past three days are good after the surgery and rehabilitation," the statement said.

Given his increased acquaintance with the staff and the equipment and other good developments, the doctors have agreed to extend his stay for another week.
