EricBerg Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Does Thailand ever try to bring home fugitives? Ask Interpol for an international arrest warrant. Surely when the Thais hand over Russian arms trader Bout and American criminals to the US they can return the favor? Or did the monk pay off Thai officials not to do so? If top dogs do not get locked up all is lost for the Kingdom in the longer run. Free luting for present and future high ranks.

SinCityGr8One Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 The article probably has a probable typo listing Sino Hills rather than Chino Hills, California as to the location of him acquiring a D/L. Los Angeles does have an official designated area named "Thai Town", so it's no wonder he chose to relocate there. Here are 7 facts regarding LA and Thai's: 1. Los Angeles County is considered the 77th province of Thailand because of the high number of Thais living here (largest population of Thais outside of Thailand). 2. The meaning of Los Angeles and Bangkok is the same: The City of Angels.3. Los Angeles Thai Town is currently the only established Thai Town in the United States and the world.4. Thai Town has appeared on Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations” TV show.5. The extremely popular Thai iced tea or “Cha Yen” is sometimes served without milk and is called “Cha Dam Yen.”6. Be sure to have plenty of cash, as many Thai businesses do not accept credit cards.7. Chopsticks are usually used only to eat noodles in soups, and using both a fork and spoon (at the same time) is customary when eating Thai food there, same as in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai news is reporting today that the court had issued an arrest warrant for the thief, up on five charges. And they are preparing an extradition request. However Thai authorities are concerned that the US may not be so willing to arrest him. God knows why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogNo1 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I don't know about the Thai temples in LA but money is pouring into some of the Vietnamese temples in Orange County; however they donate some of it to various important causes around the world such as the tsunami in in Thailand and the earthquake in Haiti. The older monks see some of the younger ones as being too motivated to make money but the most expensive car any of them drives is a Toyota Camry. The temples serve as important Vietnamese cultural centers - places for the older generation to hang on to their culture and for the younger generation to learn about it. Vietnamese who are at loose ends financially or spiritually can stay at the temples which have rooms to accomodate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not followed this story closely but my understanding is he is being persecuted because of things he did that are not illegal for an ordinary person but rather because he is a monk (religious reasons). If true, this guarantees he will be granted citizenship status in the US and they would never send him back to Thailand and nor would Interpol honor such a warrant ... even if there is just a suspicion his crimes are related to religion. No different than some radical Muslim country wanting one of their people back to execute or jail for converting religion while throwing in a charge of having sex with an underage girl that never was brought up until after it became widely known and publicized the person changed religion.
