  • That is terrible what some people do. That money could have gone toward a deserving monk's new smart phone or computer or a plane ride to some other part of the country. Shame on the scoundrel!

  • Taxi driver syndrome.   Yesterday we have a story reflecting badly on monks [the underwear thief] and, lo and behold, today we have a story showing them as victims of theft.   Coin

for  26 euros  what a idiot.

He probably tried GoFundMe first but as he didn't raise enough to pay for his overstay he had to resort to other means..?

You have pretty broke to be robbing temples. 

Yeah,  but what's the temples excuse? 

the monk knew where the 1000bht was hanging ?

He had his eye on it for several days?

I saw the guy "hang" a banknote on the tree !?

It was earmarked for an extension to the Wat!! :shock1:

The guy is a <deleted> if he stole a 1000 baht.

That's desperate if it is the case.

You have pretty broke to be robbing temples. This scum shouldn't be in Thailand. Lowest of the low. Too many broke and dirty farangs hanging around in Thailand. Packed to the rafters! Cheap Charlies who are prepared to walk in the Thailand heat all to save 20 baht. Police must find this Losers Representative and let him do hard time. 

Just because you see me walking in the heat doesn't mean it's to save 20 baht...I just like to walk.

Dope peddler  .............hope they get the scum bag

some, others will soon grow... or, he's just a heartless rotten thief...

You must be new to Thailand and dont know what happens to temple donations. Jets, Mercs etc. Good on him.

Sounds like a great guy- a cyclist! Too poor to afford a car - too lazy to walk!

He's going to The Hell.

and probably didn't wear underpants!!! the latter being one of the most illegal things in thailand!!!! :stoner:

Stupid.. but look like he has done it before  

 

I'm not buying it. I'm afraid that this is just too inconclusive for me. Watch the video again. He has his hand in his pocket just before he touches the tree. He could just as easily be placing money on the tree, as taking it. So this should never have been posted and is possibly a case for the temple to be sued.

This looks like a small town scenario, and the farang being on a bicycle must also be a local resident. This must surely bring down the number of possible suspects to where the guilty party could be identified.

A very conservative thief that only took one note instead of the whole tree.

has the same opinion of the police that the general populace has

Yes, if caught he will probably get the same punishment as the two bare assed guys at another temple.

You shouldn't hang him so quickly. I have looked at this video a couple of times now and the last thing that happens before he leaves is his left hand goes from pocket to tree, then he leaves. If he was taking something it would be the other way around. Too inconclusive, however doesn't stop everyone on here from having him hung drawn and quartered. I hope you never come up for jury service.

I'm curious how they could tell from this video that he stole a 1,000 Baht note? It doesn't seem clear enough to me, or were they going on height of his hand, and if so how can they tell if it was only one note, not two close together?

I suppose it doesn't mater, he did take somthing off the tree............theft is theft - plus I learned a long time ago, "Don't mess with Buddha, you will get it in the end"  one way or another.
