webfact Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Louis Vuitton-toting nun under investigationBy Coconuts BangkokBANGKOK: -- A year after a famous monk was brought down by his taste in designer bags and jet-setting lifestyle, attention has turned to a Buddhist nun reportedly seen driving a Porsche and toting Louis Vuitton bags.The Chumphon Office of Buddhism yesterday said it will investigate "Sister Sherry," a nun at Chumphon’s Tam Kwanmuang Temple, after photos online of her living a lavish lifestyle came under scrutiny.“Maybe it’s not wrong for a nun, but her behavior is inappropriate,” an anonymous user wrote on Pantip. “It sparks curiosity and questions among Buddhists. It ruins the image of the religion and temple.”As Buddhist nuns are expected to maintain a life of austerity, Sister Sherry’s photos have led to debates over whether it’s okay for a nun to be spotted in a six-million-baht car and holding THB30,000-worth of Louis Vuitton.However others pointed out that nuns remain among the laity and do not commit to the same vows.

wealth Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 sex industry will be in trouble . Cheap Charlies must show up with at least a Porsche. Many will be led to believe it pays more to become a nun now. What will the headlines be? THAILAND’S ECONOMY IN JEOPARDY BECAUSE OF LACK OF SEX WORKERS? Honestly, I believe this will have some positive outcome only when we all can enjoy with the nun now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siampolee Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) All religions creeds etc are wealth creating wealth adoring entities who amass enormous sums of money yet they expect the population in general to assist those in need thus preserving the entities wealth . Why do these entities need all this money? Just a couple of culprits named below, in truth the list is endless. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-23467750 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Vatican_City Hypocrites all of them Edited June 30, 2014 by siampolee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colour fits well with her working dress ... Doesn't matter what she wears the correct order of colours for a Porsche are: Silver, Blue, Yellow, Black, Red. It appears I am behind the 8-ball on this, it appears white has gained prominence! "The most popular colours for a Porsche are black, white and red, but Porsche can custom paint a car any colour (for a fee).

The Deerhunter Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 The lady has good taste at least. Driving a new Porsche Cayman loaned to her by a fan. I never knew nuns have fans, like a pop singer? AS long as she is not invvolved in money laundering or other illegal activities. Does she come from a rich family? Was it lent to her by a rich Singaporean businessman to drive? There is a precedent here with Chalerm. Perhaps same rich Singaporean businessman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noitom Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 It's all in vogue now to catch these Thai charlatans. It's been going on for decades, but Thais look the other way because they benefit from the laundering. The Thai press never follows up on these cases. How is the extradition of the other monk going?

kumori Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I think it's an individual right ,but she has to think more carefully before doing something like this because she's a nun and many people respect her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank James Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 It's OK. The bag is a knockoff she picked up at the big market in Vientiane, when she was over there changing money. Left the Porsche on the Thai side of the Mekong, rode the van over with the hippies, for a quick in & out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
