His strategy all along... he'll never serve time in prison, he'll be accommodated as a sick patient.

Funny how he  fell ill hours after returning to Thailand.

Exactly.  This was planned well in advance,  and I heard somewhere, that he owns this hospital.  Anyone?

i'm wondering if the monk was dipping into the donation box ....  i'm sure that's prevalent at many temples.

Buddhism ... such and honest religion   

You would have to be the abbot to get in the donation box, plus, I don't know of any temples who would have any large amount of money in their donation boxes.  It's normally emptied every evening by a trusted parishioner.

And the useless, homeless, unskilled who go into it because they get a place to live, free food and other gifts, and they shoot up the respect ladder.

"And the useless, homeless, unskilled"  and there's plenty of these,   

Most all monks wear those neon orange robes, as seen in this picture.  No way in hell he could have thought this guy was a thief.  Something else going on.

How did he get that much money?

Exactly.  Most monks I know have maybe a 100 baht or so on their person, and even the abbot of a temple I know doesn't have more than 30,000 or so in the Temple bank account.

I would love to see Thaksin arrive in his private jet at another of the International  airports near his private residence and take a fast convoy home. Would be a very entertaining scenario that would take a long time for the officials to resolve.

Kind of like the OJ Simpson chase scene,  ha ha ha ha 

For a 78 year old Thai monk to have 800,000 baht in his pocket, seems to me to be a little suspicious.

Why bring Trump into it? What happened in America makes the Thai election look squeaky clean. If your going to talk about the farcical storming of the white House without watching all of the un edited tapes, with the now known fbi/cia operatives agitating the crowd then the states that cheated the count and now been found as so. So please keep your biased hatred to yourself. Note: I never liked Trump but after everything he said turned out true you would need to be a moron to believe anything they say against him now. A man who loves his country something Thailand desperately needs as does my own country.

Thank you.  ????

A retirement home is not a house that you buy, it is a structure where you pay some form of rent to have a room for yourself, meals, medical assistance and socializing with similar folks.

And here in Texas where I live,  that can cost you anywhere from $2500 to $4000 a month.  

I really don't remember reading about Buddha doing this stuff.  

Take it to a busy temple, ask the abbot there..  there's always a monk at these temples who is a sort of expert on amulets.  

The travel industry is bracing itself for an exceptionally weak low season, with predictions of stagnant demand, escalating operational costs.  Oops... too late Pattaya,

What type of visas have been issued to these people I wonder........

Wondering the same thing, how did this guy get in on a one way visa?  

He's just stirring up the mud in Thailand by being next door.

I'd be very grateful for anyone to explain why an electrical fan is an essential to a homeless monk

Because it's hot? 

Lots of money coming into the temples over this period.  The temples will stretch it out for all they can.  

The wrong love muscle in use.  tsk, tsk, tsk.
