Mr Jiradet explained: “The investigation into the two monks came after residents complained that they were asking for alms when stood just a one place. When we arrived we saw the two monks standing on the sidewalk. It is not usual practice for monks to stand waiting for people to give them alms, they usually walk. “We approached them and asked them to come to Suwankiri Temple so we could check their certificates of monkhood and identification cards,” he said. “It turned out that the birth certificates they used to ordain as monks were fake documents,” he added.

Bob12345 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Why is it that every undercover cop carries a little man-purse around his shoulder? I dont see this much with the general population so keep this in mind when you are afraid of being shadowed by police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Very poor journalism. In one paragraph it says the head monk defrocked these two guys, which leads us to believe they were real monks, who became real monks illegally. Then it says they were living in a shelter on Patong Hill. Which is true? They had over 200,000 baht in the bank. That is alot of cash. No doubt, monks, priests, preachers, etc, should be dealt with severely when found to be committing these acts of fraud. Hopefully, they will be sent to prison for a very long time, where they will make alot of new friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
