Monk busted for drug use

SATTAHIP:--Three men, including a monk, were arrested on narcotics charges in Sattahip.

 

Monk Anu Boon-eiem, 37, temple caretaker Natekom Kamolman, 40, and Sangwal Polcharoen, 61, were taken into custody separately Jan. 26 by district security forces.

 

The sweep came after complaints that a monk from an unnamed Sattahip temple was smoking methamphetamines. Anu failed a drug test and confessed he used the offerings he collected to purchase ya ba through Natekorn, officials said.

 

Natekorn confessed he purchased the drugs from Sangwait, who owns a trash-collection business. Sangwai was not caught with any drugs on him, but failed a drug test and admitted he’d smoked his remaining stock.

He ask for 125 pairs of women's knickers to be taken into consideration  ?

What an utter disgrace, mocking monk hood like that.
Thai Buddhist religious leaders have a lot of work to do before they will be respected and taken seriously again.

He thought it would help with his meditation

They don't have near the work to do as do the Catholics.

Or the Muslims.

Brilliant and well informed comment.

Pretty low of the monk to be spending public donations to him on ya-ba...such a poster boy for all the monks out here. Almost looks like he's smirking in the picture whilst pointing. Or is it a failed attempt at a lip curl?

Buddhism Thai style is merely a business: amulet selling; blessing new houses or roads; gold-leafing their temples off the offerings from the poor.
