Change of plan in bid to arrest fugitive monk Dhammachayo
By The Nation

 

 

BANGKOK: -- The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) is ready to change its previous action plan to launch a joint DSI-police-Army operation to arrest fugitive Phra Dhammachayo, the former abbot of Wat Dhammakaya in Pathum Thani, DSI chief Pol Colonel Paisit Wongmuang said yesterday.

 

The monk, believed to be hiding in the temple, is wanted for money-laundering charges linked to a high-profile embezzlement case as well as separate land-encroachment cases.

How does being in the temple make him a fugitive?

This is a brilliant plan. 60% of the time this kind of plan works every time. 

 

Now they just have to plan when to announce their next plan. All very professional. 

Hmm, this must be some kind of record, they have been talking about arresting the abbot for months now, but they still haven't got him. And he is supposedly on Thai soil, and supposedly in the temple.

 

Bunch of clowns.

Change of plan number 552588. Ok, got it. 

'Action plan' to arrest the Abbot? It is anything but action: non-action plan would be more accurate.

 

I have heard on the grapevine that this new 'non-action plan' involves the police standing in a  circle around the temple, clapping their hands rhymthically and singing together with a Thai soap opera star: 'Oh please come out. Please, please, please! We love you - we really do!'

In order not to lose face, they will have to keep announcing such plans until he dies a natural death from one of his various ailments. Then all sides will save face.

Monks dug a tunnel outside the walls already. Abbot probably comes in and out as he pleases.

Someone had better tell the powers that be that a plan is 'a detailed proposal for doing or achieving something'.

It would seem the "Wait and see what Happens Plan" has failed. I look forward to the next gem!

send in a set of handcuffs with a note

Sir sir i got a plan.  What plan Somchai?

If we go to the space ship temple and pretend to be aliens, and ask DHammachyao to come with us,

we will lead him to paradise, he might fall for it. 

 

 

Yes i know its a brain dead idea, just like all the other plans.

Form a committee to investigate!

I do so hope that it is a "cunning plan"...

Made me think about the US blaring heavy metal music outside the Vatican embassy in Panama in 1989 to get Noriega to come out, but then I had a moment of clarity.

 

The louder the annoying noise/music is in Thailand, the better they seem to like it.

They will be able to take him into custody when he had passed away. It will take that long for action to actually occur

...the Blue Fairy would have him out in a jiffy.

great sketches on plans

 

 

Call in some US Navy seals and a few black hawk helicopters supported by some F35's as well as some B2 nuclear bombers.

I suspect the real plan is to keep procrastinating until he drops dead.  At that point they will announce case closed as he is dead.

 

Brilliant plan.

As cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University?

So do I. It just came to me out of the blue looking at the picture. Send in a copper(s) under cover of the saffron robe to reconnoiter the situation and make a mental (here is the hard part) map of the situation and also the location of the monk. Maybe he has a safe room or a room full of safes. I guess a reward would be out of the question

He left a long time ago and has never looked back. Probably sipping champagne over caviar on toast points in LA with the other fake monk. He was defrocked but is still practicing (and fleecing) Thai expats in LA. While enjoying the good life.

 

Sheeple following the head ram.

The foxy, elusive abbot seems to be the Sir Percy Blakeney "surrounded" by hundreds of Citizen Chauvelin. 

They seek him here.

They seek him there.

That joint DSI-police-Army operation seeks him everywhere?

Is he in Snookyville or is he in Ipoh?

That damned, elusive Dhammachayo.
