[3NUMBAS]

[bgrassboy]

Arrested already! But as we all know, good news doesn't sell newspapers.

Absolute nonsense!!

When and where was he arrested??

[trainman34014]

Last seen flying off in his 'Copter as the DSI watched helplessly from below. All in a normal days work for 'The Department of Serious Incompetents '.

[3NUMBAS]

last we heard he did a flit over to Laos in a chopper , and then it went cold ...

is there a Thai version of Inspector Clouseau out there in the wild ?

[boomerangutang]

Thais are to detective work what a canary is to long-haul trucking.

If you want a fugitive to be never apprehended, hire a group of Thai cops to detain him.

[wym]

The cops here are very good at their job when they want to be.

Problem is usually no one makes it worth their while, they get paid a lot more to abstain.

[farang000999]

The Thai police are rapists, murderers and extortionists. A disgrace to the Thai people and humanity. Amazing that the protestors want "political reform" which basically means "stop stealing and leave Thailand forever so we can start stealing . It is our turn!" yet could not care less about the way that the police operate in their country probably because like so many Thai Visa members they are very proud of that Uncle who is a police officer and their supposed (and more often than not, imagined) connections.

I love Thailand but truthfully the pillars of society are so shaky and that it is truly amazing that it hasn't all collapsed (yet).

Too well connected to keep the case alive, will live in silence and don't worry about his well being..... white-washers at this level have their insurance prepared.

[bankei]

Last week I it was reported he had come back to Thailand because he knew no one would be focusing on him now. THis was a Thai news report, and I later searched in English but couldn't find any reports so don't know if true.

[HUAHIN62]

Last time seen blowing a whistle on Silom street.

Actually the cops are brilliant at their job,.... collecting money at traffic stop shakedowns!

"he seems to have vanished off the front pages .another felon who escaped justice ???"

Not sure what the connections is between newspaper front pages and justice. The jails are full of people whose conviction and sentencing never hit the front page and there's no shortage of more compelling news at the moment.

Of course in some cases the absence of any definitive news for many years is suggestive of police incompetence:

[HOOD Robin]

heard he's filling his days with playing chess in Dubai...

[RaoulDuke]

Maybe he met up with Ajahn Siripanno and he has seen the light.

[srn89]

And what about the ''Red Bull '' case ??

[thailandbeachisland]

I wish him the best, everybody is corrupted, so why not monks ???

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

No news that the "bling" monk has been arrested... That post above is simply not correct.

He and Mr. Red Bull are both on the run out there, somewhere.

[khaowong1]

The last I heard and it's been a couple of months ago. He was at his place in California near Lake Elsinore. He has a very large and influential following in Southern California.

[3NUMBAS]

could he just be walking round with a begging bowl to boost his billion baht savings pot for his old age ?

No, he's being well taken care of by his followers in California.

[HerbalEd]

After reading 21 replies the answer is "We Don't Know."

[hgma]

Special priced and believed to be location with supernatural powers.

[Dublin]

I've been told the same thing. So must be true..

And for that matter, while we're at the subject anyhow:

What happened to: The moviestar start cold blooded killed a guy in the parking low while filmed on CCTV and the Red Bull Heir ?

[krisb]

Just a Thai bashing thread

[trainman34014]

The Monk IS NOT in California; he is hiding out these days in Laos and has been there for many months. The DSI went into Laos uninvited and without permission to try and arrest him at the Temple where he was continuing to ply his trade, very successfully it seems, and that is when he was last seen flying away in his personal 'Copter, after being tipped off by person's unknown, such person's believed to be of high standing in Thailand. What the DSI did caused a 'diplomatic incident' to occur between the two countries but that was all quickly hushed up. He is now at another Temple and has a very large following of locals plus Thai's that are still going to see him at regular intervals across the border. You can't keep a good conman down.

The missing Gold is apparently in the hands of a very high ranking military officer who cannot be approached by 'Law Enforcement Agencies ' (chuckle ), as he is out of bounds to minions.
