Nonthaburi,"Phra Phayom" criticizes monks for inappropriately singing karaoke. The monk is a prayer. Not a singer. If you want to sing, you should apply to sing.
A tiktok user posted a clip of a man dressed like a monk holding a microphone singing karaoke. After the post was published, netizens left many comments and criticisms.
In the Royal Direction or Phra Phayom Kanlayano, the abbot of Wat Suan Kaew, Bang Yai District, Nonthaburi Province, mentioned in this case that the 8 precepts say that it is forbidden to sing songs, watch games, or play the instruments. If the song is an enemy of charity But if it's a song, for example, the milk bill is still enough. But it is not appropriate to sing love songs, following the old saying that black heads want to pray, but bald heads like monks go and sing. It seems incompatible with the condition of being a monk. This case is similar to having too little of a priestly temperament. If you want to sing, you should go out and apply for a singing program. If you are still in the yellow robe, help yourself to be a monk. Can be a prayer But you shouldn't be a singer. - Thai News Agency
