Buddhist temple in central Thailand was left without its priests after all of them were defrocked for reportedly failing drug tests on Monday.

Four monks, including an abbot, at a temple in Phetchabun province's Bung Sam Phan district tested positive for methamphetamine and were reportedly transferred to a medical facility for drug rehabilitation.

More monks have been dispatched to the temple so that locals don't face any inconvenience with regard to their worship and religious procedures.
