Yes you have to, wonder if he blessed them first ?

Odd that the monk did not have to be defrocked to be arrested like the other one.

Maybe the donations were down at the temple. Times are tough all over.

Typical of Thailand....Copying what someone has done before....Monk see, Monk do

Monk Chop Shop, it's a Kung <deleted> movie

Gone in 60 seconds, and before evening prayers.

I think it would be hard to get the grease stains out of those robes.

Always better to have a pattern instead of solid colors.

Too little money in this one

Merely stripping away the outside to get to the vans inner peace.

From what i see at funerals, they get so many robes that they only have to wear each one time.

He wasn't stripping cars. He was demonstrating the impermanence and transitory nature of material possessions.

I said I wanted to see strippers!

The guide book said Soi Cowboy NOT Wat WhateverNaKrap!!!

......this corruption makes up the very fabric of Thailand...to the core....

...this should give new meaning to 100% Thai.....and......'puak rao'......

The orange robe and sandals hanging out from under the front-end probably gave him away.

Ah, Transmission.

Ah, Transmission.

This monks problem.

His synchronizer separator broke, leaving his main shaft floating.( nutter)

Freeing the vans from attachments

Should have stuck to motorcycles

A monk has to do what a monk has to do to survive in this cruel world.

Leave him alone. He was just stripping cars religiously.

I can see it coming. Soon there will be a Monk Mafia

Will be?

And no more news about our popular elite super rich monkey who was suppose to surrender to the Thai authorities from his hide out in Cambodia ...? He was suppose to arrive here a couple of days ago but no news ... ?? Ummm.... wonder what happened there ...??

I can see it coming. Soon there will be a Monk Mafia

Soon?

Are these guys trying to give monk's a bad name?

Perhaps he was seeking to find a Navara.

I can see it coming. Soon there will be a Monk Mafia

Will be?
