this shows the monks up for what they are, corrupt criminals uses religion as their cover to enrich themselves. Its way past time the police and army step in and start arresting all those complicit in these criminal activities and it isnt only this temple doing it, many are nothing more than fronts for their corrupt practices by their so called head monks. The amount of money going through their hands is huge, for so called servants of Buddha they are just belittling his name and making massive profits for themselves. Really have to wonder who is on their payrolls seeing they are never harassed or made to answer for what they are doing.

Hopefully the new Sankaraj will crack down on this crap.

If you really think, the police and especially the army will only move a single finger, you're as naive as the tourists believing in the fairy tale of the good monks taking care of orphaned tigers.

when i saw the title i thought they were talking about the time i went to soi 33 after a few drinks...
