Police followed the couple to a Pathum Thani hotel and caught the errant monk in a room with his robes down reported Manager Online.Sithidet Maliphan, 38, of Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi, was a monk at Wat Lampo.

He asked her to sleep with her again but when she refused he threatened to post pictures and videos, that he had taken before, on social media. She then agreed.But not a second time as the girlfriend went to police to make her complaint after he tried the ruse again.He was charged with threatening behavior and offences under the computer crimes act and detained.Police discovered that the same woman had made a complaint against her ex at another station before.Source: Manager Online-- 2016-06-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misterwhisper Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Amazing how much human detritus the Buddhist monkhood attracts. This was not the worst story we've read about monks' misconduct over the years. Drug parties, sex parties, rape, bestiality, burglaries, murder, shameless amassing of obscene wealth - all that and more under the cloak of the saffron robe. Well, I guess that happens when every Jim and Johnnie is allowed to become a monk to allegedly "redeem" himself. I never have and never will "wai" a monk, because I can never be sure whether I might actually offer my respect to a crook, felon, or worse.

WhizBang Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 What the heck is wrong with Thai Buddhism? Apparantly they will allow ANYBODY in. We have a monk on the run accused of many crimes, including sex with a minor. We have this idiot trying to extort sex, we have the pitiful monks at the tiger temple up to their necks in trafficing of endangered species. We have the monks, and especially the abbot of the flying saucer temple up to their necks in embezzlement and even the acting head of Thai monkdom involved in illegal activities. Yet the sheeple continue to throw money at these people. Why? Personally, my respect for Thai monks is now less than zero. Once I began to understand how Thai Buddhism really worked, I always said it was nothing more than a nationwide scam. And now we have all these revelations about illegal activities at the higest levels of Thai Buddhism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all hold so much power over the public that corruption is inevitable. With power comes responsibility unfortunately many consider becoming a monk as way to immunity. There should be strong vetting procedures before anyone is allowed to wear the robes but it doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansnl Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I wonder if the structure of the organisation of the monkhood in Thailand might be the reason for the "downfall". Maybe the organisation as it was before might have been better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acharn Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) What the heck is wrong with Thai Buddhism? Apparantly they will allow ANYBODY in. I gather you belong to a cult which is more exclusive? Which one would that be, the Jains? I'm fairly sure Christianity lets anybody in. You've never heard of a Christian preacher or priest doing anything wrong? We have a monk on the run accused of many crimes, including sex with a minor. We have this idiot trying to extort sex, we have the pitiful monks at the tiger temple up to their necks in trafficing of endangered species. We have the monks, and especially the abbot of the flying saucer temple up to their necks in embezzlement and even the acting head of Thai monkdom involved in illegal activities. I think you should see if you can find the documentary film called "Spotlight." It's about the Boston Globe's team investigating the sex abuse scandal in the Boston diocese. Yet the sheeple continue to throw money at these people. Why? Personally, my respect for Thai monks is now less than zero. Once I began to understand how Thai Buddhism really worked, I always said it was nothing more than a nationwide scam. And now we have all these revelations about illegal activities at the higest levels of Thai Buddhism. Well, that's fine. That's a fetter holding you back from enlightenment removed.

Vetting is not a one time thing. There has to be continual checks over the time span they are a representative of any religious order. Back ground checks etc are normal. Thing is there are many monks in Thailand that have become a monk because the have committed crimes such as murder and they know they will not be arrested for their crime whilst they are a monk. If someones history is not known at the time they takes robes but comes out later they should be handed to the police after being disrobed. In the context of the Catholic priests, many of them were known but a blind eye was taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chowny77 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 This is a reason that I will not give alms or go to the temple unless of a funeral. They have stepped why to far from the path that just makes them beggers hidden behind an ideal. I know of many Thai families that throw tons of money to these con-men thinking it will grant them luck, what a crock of shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The stuttering parrot Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Feel sorry for the true monks and what they believe in and the people who they give comfort to when they see and hear all these low life's preventing what ever belief for there own personal gain or gratisfaction.

The Catholic church has taken a lot of deserved flak as well, but Thai buddhism makes them look like amateurs. Now add revenge porn to the long list.
