TRIBUTES have been paid to the dedicated head of the Thai Buddhist community in Aberdeen, one of three monks killed in a head-on collision on Christmas Eve.
Abbot Prahama Pranom Thontphaiboon, 43, was described by friends at the Thai Buddharam Temple and Cultural Centre in the city as a man of few words but whose deeds spoke volumes.
The second most senior monk in Scotland behind Edinburgh-based Phra Rachabhavanavimol, the chief abbot of the capital's temple, he had been to Thailand to arrange the casting of the temple's main Buddha statue.
