Phra Maha Praiwan Worawano (left) Phra Maha Sompong Talaputto (right)A couple of weeks ago, two well-known monks -- Phra Maha Sompong Talaputto and Phra Maha Praiwan Worawano -- held a livestream talk show on social media that attracted 200,000 viewers. The chat led to several debates between their supporters and opponents since it was different from typical dhamma talks or dhamma preaching. While Phra Maha Sompong focused on delivering his own jokes like a standup comedian, Phra Maha Praiwan, who knew many teenage expressions, giggled uncontrollably throughout the show. Later, Phra Maha Sompong joined his show and it went viral. The most inappropriate show by Phra Maha Praiwan was Phra Maha Praiwan Unboxed, which involved him opening packages to show what was inside and read the names of senders or stores on packages.
