Monks failed drug tests in a tiny Buddhist temple leaving it empty.
They were all found to be positive for drug use at the religious building which was raided by police.
The monks were all expelled from the monkhood after police arrived unexpectedly at the building in the Bung Sam Phan district.
The Bangkok Post in Thailand reports the temple was raided by police and officials from the health department on Monday.
Among the four monks at the temple was an abbot who was also tested positive after the group were all given drug tests using samples of their urine.
District official Boonlert Thintapthai said the temple was located in the Phetchabun province and the monks tested positive for methamphetamine.
An official said the monks had been have been sent to a health clinic for drug rehabilitation treatment.
He said: "The temple is now empty of monks and nearby villagers are concerned they cannot do any merit-making,"
Mr Boonlert said more monks would sent to allow villagers to continue their religious obligations.
Illegal drugs were discovered in all the monks' tests and they were forced to leave the religious order and vacate the temple leaving it with no monks in the locality.
The local community were astonished by the raid at the temple where monks provided religious functions for the area.
Community leaders were immediately concerned about the temple's animals.
They were also worried about the upkeep of the property in addition to the 10 dogs and cats also living there.
A monastic chief of Bung Sam Phan district was enlisted to help by district officials who pledged to assign some monks to the temple.
The temple's name was not reported, but the raid was part of the province's ongoing campaign against illegal drugs.
In the same country The Mirror reported about ghostly sightings in Thailand's most haunted locations.
Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) just outside the capital city of Bangkok has resulted many ghostly sightings in it as well as fatal accidents.
Right from international airport's beginnings, an oversight meant that many of its construction workers did not know it was being built on top of an ancient cemetery.
Some of them reportedly refused to work and quit there on the spot once they knew - because they were too frightened to continue.
While it was being built, which is estimated to have cost more than $4bn, workers said they could hear screams and wails around them.
One person alleged he could hear classical Thai music being played - although there was nowhere obvious it could have been coming from.
During BKK's official opening the authorities even brought in 99 Buddhist monks to appease any untoward spirits away.
