"Being a young monk at the temple is tough - we needed Ya Ba to get through the day" - 3 defrocked

[webfact]

Daily News Thai Caption: Arrested in saffron robes!

 

Daily News reported that Satuek police station chief Pol Col Wachirawit Wanthanee sent in subordinate officers after reports that several monks at a temple in Tha Muang sub-district were dealing drugs to youth in the area. 

 

Acting suspiciously was 27 year old Phra Rattachai who was found in possession of 129 pills of the amphetamine laced with caffeine.

Soon also arrested at the temple were Phra Surakrai, 37, and Phra Thapthimsayam, 43.

 

These two both admitted using Ya Ba.

 

Rattachai said the drugs found in his possession were for personal use. Officers dismissed this as Buddhist baloney. 

 

All three monks said in unison that the reason they took drugs was because out of nine monks at the temple they were the only ones young enough to do the back breaking work.

 

This included cutting the grass, cutting trees and sweeping up.

What with all the other duties of a monk how else were they to get through the day without the help of some uppers?

 

So they claimed they bought the drugs for 50 baht a pill using temple donations. 

 

All three were defrocked and taken away for prosecution. 

 

Satuek district is in Buriram, NE Thailand.

Its called work you lazy fart. Something we all have to do. And most of us with any brain and backbone do that without that chemical Sj!t. But he, they probably threat you always like a little prins that dont have to do anything and dont know anything about responsibility. Am i close?

Yaba Daba don't if you want to keep your frock on at the asylum ????

Backbreaking work! Sweeping leaves and cutting grass!

Send them to a North Korean labour camp and see how things compare!

Are there any real monks in Thailand?  Fags, booze, drugs, smartphones, none of this is compatible with Monkhood.

There are... but you won't see them in the news.  Wat Pah Nanachat in Udon Thani is a good example.

They walk barefooted around all day, super easy.

 

Even Bezos of Amazon or Musk of Telsa.....all they do is talk on their phone and tell people what to do, and make billions!!!

 

or presidents of CEO.....all they do is go to dumb meetings!!!

 

or people in commercials, or actors, they sit around and make millions!!!

 

Send them all to North Korea and make them do real work!!!!

Buddhism Thai style... corrupt to the core.

I cut a rai of lawn with a lawnmower in the sun, at age 65, and all I use is a cup of iced coffee. Yaba isn't a legitimate excuse to do manual labor, especially in your twenties. This seems to be daily news now here, with monks going south.

Its not new, The Thai Buddhist monkhood went South as soon as they found the primitive form of a compass.

Not condoning the use of Yabba but;    Well I must admit they are a lazy bunch of beggars in general, they don't, won't even cook their own food. I was attending to my mates funeral, it was left to my missus and friends to sweep out the 'hall' in preparation, and other helpers to get everything ready for the ceremony, while we all waited for them to finish breakfast, all they did was amble over, sit and chant, while others handed them all items needed, any menial work is way beneath them, all cremation duties carried out by others. 

[Skeptic7]

Typical. Many Thai dudes don't want to work. Stupid, lazy, angry...think everything is owed them and want everything for free. Drink and drugs is all they're good at. GFs younger brother is a worthless piece of ????. Dangerous when drunk and has struck both her and their mother in the past 'cuz they wouldn't give him money. Only a matter of time before this jerkoff really hurts someone...or worse. Best avoided at all times.

Yep...major league scam, religion. Promote ignorance, superstition and dupe the gullible. 

 

All, bar none.
