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. i think that he did that to make it look like he was but pocketed money using his other hand into his back pocket. certainly looked like he stole to me. unless he was just looking for a monk but doesn't seem the Buddhist type as he was wearing his shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Maybe they knew how many B1,000s were on the tree. Yes, that's what Thairath said. The monk said he had seen the 1000 Baht note on the tree previously and noticed that it had suddenly gone missing.

ZeVonderBearz Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 No way that anyone can be 100% certain this is a farang. Terrible quality CCTV footage that looks as though it's been filmed from a TV screen with a mobile phone and then uploaded onto the internet. Sure it would've been easier just to upload the footage straight from source be it a hard drive or what not. Might then provide a better quality image Unless the temple is still using tape.

Andrew Dwyer Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 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.Unfortunately there are literally hundreds of farangs riding round Ayutthaya on bicycles identical to this one every day !!Many come on day trips from Bangkok ( 1 hr away ) or stay o/night in one of the many guesthouses and the favourite pastime is renting a bike and riding round the ancient ruins in the city as well as taking in a couple of the newer Wats .I live 15 minutes from this Wat and yes i do ride my bike twice a day ( but not in that area ) !! Plus, I don’t ride an old woman’s bike .Hopefully I don’t get any angry monk confusing me with this guy !, it’s bad enough dodging the traffic and the soi dogs without a vigilante safron cloaked guy leaping on me as I’m peddling on by !! [emoji51]Incidently i showed my gf the video and asked her if she thought there would be a 1000 baht note on the tree , she thought it very unlikely indeed and that 100 baht is more like the max [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds exactly that knew where the money goes I dont find that comforting it any way!!! Personally i would never ever give to temple or a monk and i am not overly bothered about people nicking stuff/ money off them, even my thai wife does not even trust monks, to her they are the same league as politicians and the police force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JemJem Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Shucks. This is going to reflect badly on us foreigners all. For example a foreigner beating up a Thai can easily be ignored by most Thais, but when religion or anything related to it is involved, this is likely to cause major anti-foreigner sentiment among many Thais.

You say you only live 15 minutes from this particular Wat and that you ride a pushbike twice a day, can you prove that you do not go near this Wat? How do we know that you do not ride a woman's bike, do you have any proof? Sorry but you are a farang and you ride a pushbike in this area.
