A transgender monk, hallucinating after using crystal meth, wandered around the temple, creating confusion and refusing a drug test. The monk claimed he wanted to testify in court and avoided the test for over three hours. Finally, a urine test showed positive results for drugs, leading to a chaotic disrobing.
He admitted to being under the influence of crystal meth and made incoherent claims, repeatedly stating he wanted to go to court with evidence of homework forgery.

When officers and reporters attempted to assist, he confessed to using crystal meth earlier that day, which had been provided by a temple boy with whom he had a romantic relationship. Though police requested a drug test, Phra Thirathawin insisted on testifying in court, causing confusion.

After three hours of negotiation, he finally agreed to a urine test, which turned up positive. He was then defrocked with the help of the temple abbot and handed over to legal authorities for further action.
