chooka 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 Bourdains 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. Thai Town in Sydney Australia also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluespunk Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 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. 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. He's wanted for statutory rape and violations of the computer crime act [whatever that means]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realenglish1 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Ok I get it This is about money. He stole money and money can Be replaced What about Vorayud Yoovidhya The red bull heir who killed a police officer. Why have the Thais not attempted to get him brought back from Singapore This is truly horrible. At the very least he should be behind bars not walking free He took a life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike324 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 He probably has backing of some politician or police to help them launder money overseas. No sane Thais would knee down and wai this crook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skildpadden Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I do not have any faith in the Thai monks - too many stories of bad monks, rapes, corruption, hypocrisy. If I need to donate to Buddhism I donate to the nuns - I feel they are closer to the true meaning of serving Buddhism (even though I know that Thais do not recognize nuns as equal to monks).

I would have to agree, I have seen throughout the years the same things, don't have much respect for them. And this goes in Thailand, and the USA..... But I have come to question them.... Usually stupid answers, and pointing at their books. I did let my wife here go crazy on some of these things, here in the U.S. Result?

JoeBlowFromUSA Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) This monk was laundering money for high level Thais. They will never bring him back because he may talk. 200 million baht in bank transactions a day I recall. 6 million USD a day! Private Lear Jet, designer bags etc. Edited November 17, 2014 by JoeBlowFromUSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeijoshinCool Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 What was he wanted for again?

So how does this POS get a visa, but my wife was refused? Do you have his money? . The requirements to get a tourist visa to the U.S. have zero to do with financials. Not the American boyfriend's financials, nor the Thai applicant's financials. It has to do with the likelihood that the Thai traveler will not come back to Thailand. When my wife -- at the time my girlfriend -- applied, we both had strong and valid reasons for returning to Thailand. Judging from what I've read about Monk P.O.S., he's not real likely to return to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUAHIN62 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 It place a big question mark over why his passport have not been cancelled. It's easy to do. But then again if they do it to the monk they must do it for the Red Bull kid and that will be bad for the traditional elite. So they let everyone go incase one of the elites need to leave the country under a cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrowsdawdle Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 A monk that handles 6 million USD a day has rank over a General I bet. Where does that kind of money come from? Drugs, insider trading, theft, corruption, scams. It certainly couldn't be clean money. Anyway, that kind of money is tied to influentials that can't be exposed. No corruption, just facilitation fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Another "shiny" example of the men of the cloth. His brethren meanwhile are getting caught on dealing with little pills.
