Thai PBS didn't explain where the monk - based in Nong Bua district - got such a large sum of money in the first place. 

 

The figure embezzled as 63,034,470 baht, to be precise.

If everybody just like I put 20 baht note in a charity box every time visiting a temple it might sum up over time - not to forget a 100 baht note when also getting blessed by a monk - I'm however amazed that it can be as much as 63 million baht...????

"The Church" was the second oldest form of business ever invented by man.  The cave witchdoctor/sharman would rattle bones or read the signs and be highly regarded by the tribe.  He didn't hunt or gather, but elicited tithe from the tribe.

 

Add on a few thousand years and nothing has changed.

 

At least the oldest profession is a little more upfront and honest.

.....and a lot more fun.

Nice of the temple to put the money to such good use, helping the poor through the pandemic. Oh, wait.......

I can't believe how gullible Thai people are when it comes to the Thai version of Buddhism. It is a business, pure and simple, with massive cash reserves.

It's not referred to as The Saffron Mafia for nothing...

Catch and release. Sell some fishes, back into the water and catch them after 15 seconds. Those fishes know, where they live.
