Popular Post RustBucket Posted December 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2014 Came across this little gem that is doing the rounds. Dont know what this farang did to warrant this slap, but apparently it was his third. I thought these monks were above being pissed off 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoonToong Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I've been told by a Thai that the monk is probably not a 'real' monk and that he had been drinking. He apparently hit the farrang because the farrang was 'yak-yaking' him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hope the western man comes forward and explains the situation. But as an armchair TV detective i would say that they had a difference of opinion regarding the infamous Tiger Temple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Baa_Mango Posted December 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2014 I read the Thai writeup of the event. The foreign man was sitting across the aisle on the train from the monk. Monk was laying down sleeping or just sleeping. Two foreign women got on and the foreign man got up to allow the two women to sit together. The man woke up the monk to explain/ask (in English) if he can sit beside him. The monk spoke fairly rudely to the guy saying in Thai he didn't understand. Convo went back and forth with foreigner speaking English and monk speaking Thai. The write up said the foreigner kinda of gave up and said ok, fine, fine. Monk misheard this as ควายๆ (kwai/buffalo) even though their entire ordeal had been because of language barrier so kind of ironic he thinks this guy is insulting him.. ends up slapping him three times in auspicious fashion. The video shows the last slap and then the train official coming. The monk looks like the bit of a rougher type. Doing the ol enter the monastery trick perhaps? super props to the foreigner (seems like a brit/mate) for being so chilled and not even raising his voice. Monk is getting shamed via Thai social media. Hopefully he gets some more repercussions than outrage and online derision 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say, kudos to the white guy in this situation, he kept it together quite well.

A real monk would sleep on the floor rather than sleep on a matress, as the latter offers too much comfort. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT85 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 i wonder which one of the 12 values the monk was demonstrating? Perhaps number 5? debates? 555. The Twelve Values, bestowed by Gen. Prayuth to Thai children in a televised broadcast in July, are the following: 1. Loyalty to the Nation, the Religion, and the Monarchy2. Honesty, sacrifice, endurance, and noble ideology for the greater good3. Gratitude for parents, guardians, and teachers4. Diligence in acquiring knowledge, via school studies and other methods5. Preserving the Thai customs and tradition6. Morality and good will for others7. Correct understanding of democracy with the King as Head of State8. Discipline, respect for law, and obedience to the older citizens9. Constant consciousness to practice good deeds all the time, as taught by His Majesty the King10. Practice of Self-Sufficient Economy in accordance with the teaching of His Majesty the King11. Physical and mental strength. Refusal to surrender to religious sins.12. Uphold the interest of the nation over oneself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
