Phra Dhamachayo claims serious sickness for his failure to report to the DSI



BANGKOK: -- Phra Dhamachayo could not travel to the Department of Special Investigation to acknowledge the charges against him on Monday because he was experiencing serious illness from several diseases, so said Wat Dhammakaya and his doctors.

The temple’s public relations office and doctors of Phra Dhamachayo issued a statement through its Facebook page explaining the reason why the embattled abbot of Wat Dhammakaya failed to show up to acknowledge the charges as demanded by the enquiry officers of the DSI.

Phra Dhamachayo is facing charges of money laundering and receiving stolen properties.

Phra Sanitwong Wutthiwaso, director of the PR office, said in the statement that Phra Dhammachayo suffered severe headache since last Friday making him unable to balance himself properly and he also suffered back and left leg pains as a result of inflammation of the muscles.

Also, he claimed that the embattled abbot suffered serious ailments from diabetes, blood clot on the left leg and infectious wounds on his feet. He added that doctors had advised the abbot to take a rest and to suspend all activities for 15 days.

Phra Sanitwong sought justice from the DSI for Phra Dhammachayo’s failure to show up and for the postponement of the appointment. He defended that the abbot did not intentionally skip the appointment with the DSI.

Meanwhile, Dr Chuchai Pornpattanapan, one of the doctors, said the abbot had been sick since last Friday but the condition worsened on Sunday evening as he suffered from serious headache and pains on his back and legs.

It's called ''shyting himself'' is this illness, now he has to face his crimes and see his empire crumble. maybe they can find a space for him in Thailand's rest room for the 'poorly as they cower from justice' AKA in Malaysia with the Red Bull heir....

Where do I send the "Get Well Soon" card?

SOP when accused of a serious crime here, don't consult a lawyer see a doctor.

What is wrong with DSI chiefs?

They scared or what, stop messing about arrest the scumbag.

Every time he will think of an excuse, probably waiting for his private helicopter.

Playing for time to salt away his ill gotten gains.

Of course having some one pick up a phone and say he is not able to appear is simply not done here. The standard method is to make excuses later.

I an guessing 'remorse' isn't one of the several illnesses!

I would have taught he had diarrhea from stress attacks...

Buddha taught his followers to lie?

Glad to hear it's not some kind of blood infection, as those seem to have been on a marked upswing around these parts lately...and fatal too...

The DSI should send an ambulance and take him to the ER of the Police hospital, for a check up.. and take him in custody.

what do they with an injured criminal (e.g. after being shot by police?) They arrest him and take him to the police hospital.

It is beyond me why they do not do the same with this -sorry, I have to say - lying cowardly scumbag ?

Arrest him take him to the police hospital let him be checked by neutral doctors and arrest him until his health allows his questioning

btw he need not be healthy just being able to answer some questions is enough

DSI seriously has to act in order to keep face (and justice)

hangnail

(feel free to expand )

he suffered serious ailments from diabetes, blood clot on the left leg and infectious wounds on his feet.

Seriously, the abbot belongs in a hospital and not in a wat. His doctor should be charged with malfeasance and his staff for negligence endangering the abbot's health. The military should invoke Article 44 to deliver the abbot to a proper facility for emergency lifegiving care!

I fear for this abbot's wellbeing.

....several illnesses to choose from......in fact millions.......if not billions.......

This is like the Buddhist version of Scientology. I support all the crooked "monks" getting their comeuppance.

full of BS

Chicken Shit Coward; no more, no less....end of.

Mixed with the impasse involving the Supreme Patriarch, this become toxic brew and perceived as a fierce color coded confrontation. It may spilled out of hand and evoke the feelings of the saffron of both sides. The junta government should not have allowed this to simmer this long and should have dealt with this on the first instance. Now they have a tiger on their back and will be hard for them to dismount. They probably play the delay game till the next government.

hmmmm. Same same Redbull. 5555

I didn't know, that "Being full of sh1t" qualifies as sickness?!

Poor thing, in-grown toe nail and all, well I never.,...been too busy choreographing the last event...Other accused citizens are not 'invited' but simply seized and treated like...well....

you're right - why this different treatment ?

he seriously needs attitude adjustment

I an guessing 'remorse' isn't one of the several illnesses!

hubris is though...

Pathetic comedy. In a society where losing face is so important...

Time for a trip to Singapore for treatment of his diseases.

Certainly the perspective of a long stay in prison beginning to scare this mad monk

Several diseases. Not just one. This guy is an absolute joke.

He has enough money to buy doctors report and much much more. But the real reason he is sick is because he might go to jail and loose all the money he stole while being a so called Monk who will bring much bad talk and disrespect for the good Monks in Thailand . This man hurt Thailand,s Monk reputation plus he is a money hungry thief!

Nice Monkmobile...

How to prove a gift given to a monk was stolen?
