Man arrested in North Pattaya following armed robbery of a Buddhist Monk

PATTAYA:-- Just after 2.30 on Tuesday Morning, Banglamung Police were made aware of an armed robbery whereby the victim was a Buddhist Monk. Police were able to arrest the suspect, Khun Galong aged 26 who had allegedly stolen 1,300 Baht from the Monk named as Pra Banyar. The Monk explained that he lived in a small tent in Soi 12 off the Naklua Road and he was awoken by the sound of an argument between a woman and a man. The Monk went to investigate and realized it was a family dispute involving the suspect and his older sister.

Not sure how the robbery took place, but many of these thiefs are yaba addicts and will do anything to finance their next pill.

A real low life to rob a monk, IMHO...

Typical Drugi scum bag.

This will ensure he has an "interesting" time during his next visit to the monkey house.

yes indeed ......its difficult to think of getting lower and I wonder what form Khun Galong will take on

when he returns in the next life ?

But i just wondered why its necesaary for the Monk to be staying in a tent instead of a Temple ?

yes, more than likely yabba addicted.

In my country, the poor, unfortunate, young Offender would hire, for free, on legal aid, a good mouthpiece who would then eloquently inform the judge of the lads hard childhood and upbringing, whereupon he would be awarded a few hours of community service and told not to do it again.

The monk would probably then be admonished by the judge for disobeying Buddhas rules about monks receiving and handling money.

Somehow, I can't see that happening here in the LOS.
