The Social Development and Human Security Ministry will collaborate with the National Office of Buddhism to investigate whether the unconventional Buddhist teachings of an eight-year-old son called” Nong Nice,” whose families claim he is the Lord Buddha’s child in a previous existence, are true.

The Prime Minister’s Office secretary Puangpet Chunlaiad gave the NOB the order to investigate the situation.

The Nong Nice situation, in which the boy apparently has psychic abilities, will be investigated by NOB chairman Intaporn Chaniam and government officials, according to Ms. Puangpet.

The investigation may be established to determine whether the allegations were intended to deceive citizens, he said.

Nong Nice apparently runs meditation-based seminars and conferences to connect with devotees. The eight- season- old lately told his supporters that he had communicated&nbsp, nonverbally with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Although the child does not accumulate any money from enthusiasts, operational costs are said to be incurred.

According to Ms. Puangpet, the boy’s families must also be interviewed to find out if they have been disclosing any truth about their child.

Minister Varawut Silpa-Archa stated that the government are gathering data, including video clips of the boy’s actions, before submitting them to psychology at Surat Thani Hospital and the Rajanagarindra Institute of Child and Adolescent Mental Health for evaluation.

However, Niramit Theva Chuti, a Facebook page that disseminates Nong Nice’s lessons, released a statement warning that it is considering suing media sources which report “false reports” about Nong Nice and his family.

The blog’s operator may also ask the prime minister for his help in ensuring Nong Nice’s justice.

The operator further stated that the government may intervene and take steps to curb Nong Nice’s media coverage.
