Thechook Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Now pay attention, this is called operation cockup. Tomorrow morning at precisely 1045 a.m after smoko we will knock on the door of this building and go in and search. Saturday this building, on Sunday I have friends comming over so having the off but on Monday we will resume by searching this building. All other buildings have been searched and he wasn't in them. Any questions? With this public operation and warning can't he just move to a previously searched building? No we have already searched them and his is not in them. Besides he isn't as smart as us.

bluebluewater Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 This kinda reminds me of the 1999 movie Thomas Crown Affair with everyone running around in bowler hats (robes in this case) and no one can figure out who is who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 The man is shielded and protected by millions of followers, and all it takes for him to disappear is staying in someone house and wait for the storm to pass, all these searches are waist of time, the DSI should put a large bounty on any information leading to his arrest and freeze his assets and declare him a wanted person......

colinneil Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Stupid buggers. He is not there. When this fiasco first started i like many others said he was gone. DSI clowns were trying to save face, and ended up losing face BIG time. Dhammachyao has too many supporters, too many people prepared to help him in any way.

Thankfully the reputation is intact. They still hold the same reputation of worlds most incompetent. Perhaps they should award themselves bucket loads of cash for trying. Then and onky then could we call it a job well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misterwhisper Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Somehow this entire charade reminds me of the animated title sequence of the original Pink Panther movie. Only this times it's literally thousands of Clouseaus chasing... Maybe we all should chip together and order dunce hats in bulk to present to every officer involved - and extra large ones for the masterminds behind this expertly ineptly planned operation.

yellowboat Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Are the RTP, army and DSI trying to look foolish ? Wouldn't be surprising if the ex-abbot is in a neighboring country . Ho Chi Min pretended to be a Thai monk in Thailand to avoid French Government. The fox seems to be way ahead of the hounds at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smutcakes Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 This is all quite clearly being stage managed. We will let you choose your new SP, and in return we will allow you to enter the temple, do some press releases and unfortunately admit that the priest has disappeared. You get your SP, we save our monk and you don't lose to much face having accessed the temple for a search. Everyone goes away content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reigntax Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 3,500 Thai troops was never going to be enough to catch one monk. He probably was dressed as a clown and the military thought he was one of their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Former leading follower believes Phra Dhammachayo still inside Dhammakaya Temple By The Nation BANGKOK: -- A doctor, who used to be a leading follower of controversial Phra Dhammachayo, Friday expressed his belief that the honourary abbot is still hiding inside the vast temple. On Thursday, officials search some spots that accounted only some 20 to 25 per cent of the temple’s area. Doctor Mano Laohawanit said Phra Dhammachayo was hiding inside the Chan Khonnokyoong memorial building at the time of raid and he was alerted and led by followers to evade the authorities inside the very vast temple with some 2,000 rai of area.
