This comment triggered widespread social media discussion and attempts to identify the specific monk or temple he was referring to.

In a formal statement posted to his Facebook page, Boy Thaprachan clarified that he did not name any specific temple or monk during his broadcast. He urged the public to refrain from linking his comments to any particular individual or institution, emphasizing that he had not requested to create any sacred objects at the temple currently being discussed in online rumors. He further requested that people avoid attributing words to him that he did not speak and asked that his name not be dragged into unrelated dramas.

As of now, the identity of the monk mentioned in the live stream remains unconfirmed, and Boy has maintained that if he intended to address a specific person, he would do so directly.
