CityNews – An abbot at Wat Suan Dok has fled after a case was opened against him with claims that he has been using the ID of a child who died in 1995 as his own, and was actually born as a Burmese national sparking speculation that he stole Thai nationality to remain in Thailand.

 

The former superintendent of Wiang Haeng police station has filed a case at the Chiang Mai Provincial Office of Buddhism on October 8th claiming that Wat Suan Dok abbot, Phraraj Rachamunee, has been using the ID of a boy who died in 1995 as his own.

 

The filed case contains evidence that the abbot was born as Nimit Yodkam on April 2nd 1965 in Mae Ai and was issued Burmese nationality. When he ordained at Wat Tha Ton, he was given a Buddhist name of Phra Mahanimit.

 

In 1982, a monk from the same temple, Wat Tha Ton, reportedly changed his name to Phraraj Rachamunee in Chaiyaphum. This monk is suspected to be formally known as Phra Mahanimit.

 

In 1995, there are records that suggest a monk by the name of Phra Mahanimit (using the old name) changed his surname to Wuttichai and his birth date to 14th April 1965 using an official Thai ID.

Yep the temples hide a variety of sins including theft, corruption, drug dealing and even murder. Thank my god I am not religious and a lying gullible person.
