Police issued a warning to the abbot about the dangers of inappropriate driving.

A warning? I wonder if they checked if he had a licence and being an abbot I suppose they didn't consider checking for alcohol!

Two thoughts here:

 

1. If this monk was "renowned" before, he certainly is even more renowned now, but not in a very good way.

 

2. Glad to see that the local monks, who supposedly follow a code of poverty, easily were able to quickly scrape together 200,000 baht to pay off the mess the guy made.

 

I wonder if that's the kind of use the local congregants were expecting for their donations when they previously handed them over to the temple?

Thai law forbids monks from having driver's licenses because the monastic code does not allow monks to drive or own vehicles to prevent accidents.Oct 17, 2565 BE

Bears repeating here, given the topic....

 

And then, we have this...
