A RETIRED teacher was arrested on charges of defrauding the public after posting a message on his Facebook page to raise funds for a blessing ceremony today (Dec. 17) with donations reaching almost a million baht, Sanook.com said.

 

The suspect, only identified as Mr. Enamsamuti who lives in Bangkok’s Suan Luang area, fully cooperated with Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau police and stated that he did not have any bad intentions.

 

The suspect pointed out that in his opinion if science cannot resolve problems then ceremonies such as Bai Sri, which is performed to bestow happiness and prosperity to a person or place, might help.

He should know that nothing is allowed in Thailand unless you have a workpermit. And that is only given as you have a job or occupation for things Thai people can't do. And as they can do everything....... it is impossible to do something as a expat or retirered foreigner

 I’m with Groucho Marx on such matters.
