Police officers and local men ordained as monks at Bang Phlee Yai Klang Temple in Samut Prakan province near Bangkok yesterday to make merit and pray for the recovery of Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha Narendira Debyavati.
In total, 49 police officers and local men took part in the ordination ceremony. The group will observe 227 rules for monks outlined in the Vinaya for 15 days before exiting the monkhood and returning to their normal lives on February 3.
The monks will dedicate the merit generated from their Buddhist practice to the recovery of the princess.
Princess Bajrakitiyabha has been hospitalised due to a heart condition since December 15. Princess Bajrakitiyabha reportedly passed out while she was training her pet dog to compete in the Thailand Working Dog Championship by the Royal Thai Army in the Pak Chong district of Nakhon Ratchasima.
