Look like they will have to update the saying: poor like a monk, to something more modern like lives like a monk but rich like Elon Musk...

One of my Wife’s uncles is a senior monk and one of the temples in Bangkok. 

He drives around in an S-Class Merc (a few years old) - it was ‘donated to him’......... (probably by someone caught by his wife with a mia-noi !!!)....     No issues with him driving a Merc... but it does lead to the question of how ‘abstinence’ is viewed and the fact that as he ‘rocks up’ in an S-Class Merc he is somehow viewed as being ‘more important’... or more senior... again.. money and wealth or the appearance of wealth supersedes all...

Senior Monks in this area also arrive with 2 police car security details. Certain Monks live in quarters exceeding  5 star quality , with adoring fans (groupies) attending to their every need.

Greed and corruption are dressed in many colors and fabrics. These two thrive on ignorance, fear and superstitio, and there is a bumper crop of the gullible in these parts.

Police are coordinating with relatives of the deceased monk in the matter,

I sense a 'he borrowed it from us over the years and promised to pay it back' coming.

They had already found and banked 10.6 million baht.

 

They thought when they are done there may be 40 million baht more.

Some temples are straight, some monks are worthy of the saffron they wear... but most are just employed in a huge ponzi scheme.

And I was told that monks never touch money ......... some stash it, others use it for private planes with LVMH bags or some years back on soapy fun in Brisbane

I did send my application to join a temple.

Monk khun farang.

Order for a new BMW smart car is already placed. I want to drive around in style.

The Saffron Mafia is an excellent career choice for (ex)-criminals in Thailand. Selling Salvation in its many forms is an ancient business to ease the pain and poverty of the uneducated masses. (as long as you make sure they stay uneducated, of course)

Your car has been approved and a newly installed roof mounted scanner attached to search out the wealthy who can be filched from.......

They pray for people, help people and take care of dogs.  They need the money.

Not to mention they need money for lottery tickets, booze and business class flights
