Thai bespectacled monk 提纳蓬克朗迪 promoted two ranks in one year, Nan deputy monk chief parachuted into Chiang Mai, getting topped and exchanging two positions.
The bespectacled monk Tina Ponkrandi has been revealed – not through a temple announcement, but by a gossip page posting it on its own. His monastic name is พระปลัดติณณภพ, his secular name is ติณณภพ ครองดี, and in northern Taiwan's gossip circles he's called หลวงเจ๊. He has an impressive academic background, having been transferred from Nan province to Chiang Mai less than a year ago.
