Luang Phor Khoon in hospital again

The muchrevered Buddhist monk Luang Phor Khoon has been hospitalised in Nakhon Ratchasima after developing high temperature, a senior government doctor said yesterday.

The monk, who is also abbot of Wat Ban Rai, was admitted at Maharaj Ratchasima late on Tuesday night after he was found suffering from high fever, hiccups and phlegm. He was later diagnosed as having a tracheal infection and his visits have been restricted.
The monk was first admitted to hospital last May for tuberculosis and was discharged after nine months of treatment. His weight has risen from 35 kilograms to 46kg.
