" had links with populist former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra," 

Prior to 2006, who didn't??????

This should have he been the action immediately following a refusal to surrender whatever the reason.  Now it will be a protracted long drawn out incident, a WAT on that size of land is beyond comprehension and certainly a temple does not need that amount of land.

Will they enter with arms linked so no one can squeeze in between??

At least they have enough men to do so so those slippery Abbotts don't get away

I concur. Laughing all the way to the bank. Fleeced the flock no doubt.

We love you. 

Thai politics...

"an influential monk"

 

With whom? ?

............ Dhammakaya says govt siege not 'Buddhist way' .........

 

And money laundering is the "Buddhist Way"?

They should also cut all electricity and water to the temple. That will make them sweat a little more and maybe cast out the rogue quicker.

The basic philosophy of Buddhism is:-

1) to lead a moral life,
(2) to be mindful and aware of thoughts and actions, and
(3) to develop wisdom and understanding.

 

Something appears to have gone sadly wrong here!

OVERKILL???...WHY???

So looks like this abbot is a real James Bond like figure with thousands of military controlled police and army to surround his home, lucky he is not near the coast or the submarines and aircraft carriers would be at his door. And even the Junta black hoods on site to pick him off, and when they all go home because he is away for a holiday to Pattaya for a few weeks they will all feel a bit silly.  

3500 troops to gain entry to a temple and the planning has taken six months goodness knows how they would access a high security

area held by armed  terrorists .

A post in violation of fair use policy has been removed, it was off topic anyway. 

This is going nowhere. Birds fled the nest a long time ago. Authorities fully aware, and fully paid off. This is just a pantomime.

This temple drama is shittier than a regular TV soap opera.

At last action against law breakers - next should be car drivers who think they are above the law - wheel clamps , speed traps and heavy financial penalty or cars will beimpounded

Great idea

Chaotic scenes at the temple today.

Yep, arrest the corrupted monk! I just think that the evidence against him just should be enough. No! Can not be, bacause everybody is scared of what the monkhood what do!
Is it laws that are ruling the country. or is it what ever everybody believe?
