CHONBURI: -- Police from Bowin Sub-District in Sriracha were asked to investigate claims that a group of Cambodian Monks were begging for money at a village early on Tuesday Morning.

Police Colonel Gorapat, the Chief of Bowin Police assembled a team of officers and was assisted by the Chief Abbot of a local Temple. They visited the Chuanfun Village and encountered 9 Cambodian Monks who were initially questioned as to why they were receiving alms at 10am when this task should be completed much earlier in the morning.

They were also asked why they were specifically asking people for money, which is strictly forbidden.

I'm sure there are many monks who are simply extra ordinary human being and great people but on the other hand there are those who use the faith as business and flies with jet and drives luxury cars and leads a separate dual life.

Such business oriented leaders from different religion and faiths are almost every where in every society and country on the globe. And at times the business is just too good and hey guess what , it's tax free....

Unfortunately there are also fake monks who prey on the gullible and who have no affiliation with any temple but simply buy robes and pretend to be monks. Not sure if this group is of that type.
