The abbot of Wat Kho Suppharat temple in Angthong province locked himself in a cage at 10am on Thursday (August 13) after officials from the Supreme Sangha showed up to punish him for allegedly disturbing locals with his loud sermons.

A woman, 69, living alone in a shanty house in Samut Sakhon was found dead, leaving her dog and its puppies caged for at least two days.
