The Luangpoo Saeng controversy contains two dangerous substances that shall never be mixed. The first one is monks not doing their jobs properly while the second is reporters gravely mistaking their roles.

Supporters of aggressive reporters, meanwhile, have appeared to play down the controversial behaviors of the people they back.

Monks behaving badly.... of course, just look at the history of the Ponzi scheme in Thailand.

Are there some good monks, sure.

But all being dressed the same it's hard to tell which is good or bad.

 

If Buddha was here today

Judging from the picture, the old monk definitely needs another hit.  The monk behind is in Happy Land.

I thought the Thai press were not allowed to report the truth?

What did he do? Something with kids? Hiding in plain sight?
