Suthep has 'no plan to leave monkhood' at the moment

BANGKOK: -- Monk Suthep Paphakaro, or former People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) leader Suthep Thaugsuban - has no plan to leave the monkhood anytime soon, PDRC spokesman Akanat Promphan said.

The confirmation came after some media reported that the former PDRC leader was preparing to leave the monkhood soon. Akanat spoke Wednesday after having a phone conversation with monk Suthep, saying the former PDRC leader had confirmed he would remain in monastery for the time being.

They would make a lovely couple.

[smutcakes]

Akanat would do well to try and distance himself from Suthep unless he always wants to be tainted with the same brush. Pretty difficult given their relationship but i am sure with his education he has something to offer the country going forward.

He's been told to hold on as the referendum on the constitution is going to delay things a little.

What position do you think he's been promised for his services rendered? Head of the NACC? Head of education?

[Mango Bob]

The world is relieved.

Good to see all the red lovers kicking in so early, suffice to say you would all prefer YL still in the seat dancing to the tune of the puppet master. I am sure the country would now be in a much better situation being plundered by a fugitive criminal and his brown-nosing mates.

[clockman]

A good place to hide out! As if anybody is interested!

[3NUMBAS]

the maggot should be locked away for good ,on the run so hiding out in the monkhood tainting them even more

Why leave he is getting free room and board and people kissing his ring.

They are keeping him under wraps to bring out in case the next government tanks.

[wow64]

Wasn't he just defrocked for being drunk in a police car?

[Mojomor]

Guess it's all about headlines. A couple of days ago, he was supposed to be coming out, and going to get involved in people politics. He must not read the papers, cos politics is basically banned at the moment. What a silly silly man!

He's a Buddhist monk, not a Catholic monsignor. People do not kiss monks' rings. I don't think monks even have rings, but I could be mistaken. As for the free room and board, I don't think you'd care for it as a bed and breakfast.

[catweazle]

Yeah, right - wait right there, relax a little and strive on free food and drinks, humming along a little during the day since you will need your energy for some of your erratic on stage rants, once "Superman" leaves the stage, what will - not happen soon... So hang in there pal, better for you!

[jerojero]

Inept idiot of magnanimous proportions!

[Tonawatchee]

Maybe Thaksin should have tried the monk shield too.

[LannaGuy]

he never really joined it

Agree with him or disagree but he is neither evil, nor was ever any corruption found (beside that I believe all Thai politicians are corrupt)

[somo]

Early days but something lucrative for sure. Minister for Land Reform may suit as he does have previous in the area.

[Srikcir]

ACTION & REACTION

Abhisit says he will not leave politics if he loses again.

there is none! that slimey corrupt coward will continue to hide behind the "robes" until he sees an opening to bother the Thai people again. he certainly has enough money to eat his "Free" meal" everyday! would like to see his living quarters!

[FangFerang]

It is very transparent to me that Suthep's carefully phrased statements mean one thing --

"I plan on being an appointed Senator."

Huh? You think he is "roughing it"?

Is your alternative to return to corrupt democracy as practiced in the past?

Or do you have a real alternative?

Good for Thailand.

Shame for the monkhood.
