GMM Music Artist Pors Narakorn Ordained as a Buddhist Monk
Thai artist Pors Narakorn has entered the monkhood at Wat Hongrattanaram Ratchaworawihan to honor his parents.
On October 15, 2026, 23-year-old GMM Music artist Pors-Narakorn Issarawarangkul officially entered the monkhood. According to a report by Thai Post, the ordination ceremony took place at Wat Hongrattanaram Ratchaworawihan, located in the Wat Arun sub-district of Bangkok’s Bangkok Yai district.
During the ceremony, the young artist received the monastic name 'Siriwatthano.' The primary motivation for this spiritual commitment was to express gratitude and repay the kindness of his parents and benefactors. This event marks a significant personal milestone for the performer, drawing attention from his family and dedicated fan base.
For residents and travelers in Thailand, witnessing or learning about ordination ceremonies offers a glimpse into the deep-rooted traditions of Theravada Buddhism, which remains central to Thai social and cultural life. While such ceremonies are private family affairs, they reflect the cultural importance of temporary monkhood as a rite of passage for young men in the country.
As of now, there has been no official announcement regarding the duration of his stay in the monkhood or when he intends to resume his professional activities with GMM Music. Observers should note that the specific duration of such spiritual retreats is a personal matter determined by the individual and the temple.
