Male nurse impersonates monk
As far as Thai Buddhism goes, making offerings to monks in the morning is a common practice among Thai people. Those who present themselves as devout Buddhists take joy in participating in this activity every day as they view it as a good act to accumulate good karma.
The passion has grown strongly in this deeply religious patient in a hospital who tried to go out and make an offering to monks. To prevent the patient from leaving their bed, a male nurse transformed himself into a monk. Here’s the whole story.

A Facebook account, ป๊อแป๊ะ ดอกไม้สด, posted a pic of a monk in a hospital room with a caption explaining that the psychiatric patient wanted to get out of the bed to cook and make an offering to monks. That led to a male nurse dressing as a monk to make sure that the patient stayed in bed and continued his treatment.
The post went viral with many FB users flocking to leave amused comments.

A clap for the nurse’s effort
Managing psychiatric patients can be difficult, so psychological approaches may be necessary sometimes. Like in this case, the nurse did a good job of curbing the patient’s behaviours for medical reasons.
