Indian YouTuber Asked to Leave Thai Temple During No-Money Travel Attempt
An Indian YouTuber named Banshi, traveling across Thailand without money, attempted to camp overnight at a Buddhist temple in Udon Thani. Despite claiming a monk had permitted his stay, temple authorities and police asked him to leave, citing safety concerns and temple rules against overnight stays. They offered assistance to stay at a nearby budget hotel, which he declined. The incident, lasting over 20 minutes, sparked online criticism of his no-money travel approach. Banshi eventually camped at a nearby petrol station.
