Khon kaen: The atmosphere at Wat Pa Adulyaram in Khon Kaen province remains quiet and still following the press conference held by "Aunt Da" and her heirs in Bangkok. The abbot, Phra Khru Adulsaranithet, had left for a religious engagement early in the morning and is expected to return by 1:00 PM.
According to Thai News Agency, the monks and disciples present at the temple mentioned that they had not fully summarized the key points of Aunt Da's press conference, as it primarily involved recounting past events. Despite the media stir, the situation within the temple has returned to normal. Security measures continue to be enforced, with CCTV cameras and regular patrols by police and other agencies ensuring the temple's safety.
The temple is also undergoing renovations, specifically upgrading the crematorium to better accommodate the deceased, particularly those who are underprivileged. Although the number of devotees visiting the temple has decreased, many continue to provide food and support for the abbot, traveling from distant locations to show their solidarity.
Reporters remain stationed at Wat Pa Adulyaram, eagerly awaiting the return of Phra Khru Adulsaranithet to gather his thoughts on the latest developments following Aunt Da and her heirs' statements.
