Not only that, it appears that it has beamed him up Scotty ! 

 

pressed the wrong button last week, and he's vaporised before the BIB breaks in

Can't heal his corrupt heart. :post-4641-1156693976:

This guy definately learned something from Michael Jackson.

Did they look inside the machine ? maybe he's hiding in there...

Jokes aside, vanity and youthful appearance you'd think, be far from a monk's

minds who's supposedly busy meditating... well, apparently NOT.....

Machine cost is said to be millions of baht.

Think about all the dumb people giving millions to this ..so called temple.. money.

Just for it to be used (wasted ) on machines like that. Disgusting.

It's a Tardis, They are searching the wrong place.....he is in 1968!

Sponge bob square pants has one. Why can't the abbot?

Where does the "multi-million-baht" idea come from? Oh yes, a random posting of Facebook.  Good source!

 

You can buy a new hyperbaric chamber on eBay for less than US$4,000 - roughly 40,000 baht.  A second hand one would presumably be cheaper.  And the one in the photo doesn't look particularly new or modern.

How many Rolls Royces did the Maharishi have? Like the television evangelists, people keep giving them money to often support their degenerate lifestyles. Bottom line is, people are idiots.

$4000 is equal to 40000 Baht in which universe? Tell you what I will give you 40000 Baht and you give me $4000 deal?

Typo.  Should be 140,000 baht.  Still not multimillions, though.

"She urged authorities to seize the device or seal the room it is kept in.

“If you can’t find Phra Dhammachayo, just follow the device and you will,” she said."

So seize it and follow it. 

Yet another FB user demonstrates their superior brain power.

You think they care? They give because they are brainwashed into thinking he is a good man and they just think they should reward him. They don't care at all what it's spent on. I certainly don't think they give in order that it be given to the poor - otherwise why not cut out the middleman and donate directly to a charity or kids home etc. Do you think Thais don't know that many temples have hundreds of millions of baht? Not too different to the 'assets' that the Catholic church has while many worshipping it come from the poorest countries and struggle to make ends meet. You think the church really cares? Religion exploits the weakest in society, everywhere.

Don't be silly, that's his pressure cooker !

Saw this tweeted today.

The Fortius 420 Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber by OxyHealth is a hard-shell chamber designed to provide patients with a safe and reliable experience. Traditionally used to treat decompression sickness and tissue wounds, hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) is increasingly employed to address other ailments, including brain injury, cerebral palsy, and stroke. The Fortius 420 undergoes a series of burst tests and stress tests to ensure that the chamber shell, seams, and windows meet the highest standards in air pressure and safety. At just over seven feet in length, the Fortius 420 can accommodate most occupants. It features mirror controls to enhance self-treatment and three 1 1/4-inch, polycarbonate viewing windows to reduce the effect of claustrophobia.

As an old Trekkie fan that definitely is a transporter. 

A couple of posters who I enjoy posted comments on the "stupid" people that fell for this conman and there had to be many looking at the compound being on 2100 rai of land plus "improvements" Then there are all the other sites he controlled plus bank accounts no doubt. I feel nothing but compassion for these so called "stupid" people but they are no different than all the "voters" in elections that vote for hypocritical politicians and end up with nothing. I can only imagine on how many meals etc. that these people passed up on to give this conman more and more money. They in the end were even human shields trying to stop the BIB from entering. They were true to the end. My heart goes out to these "stupid" people sadly they are just among the billions of dream chasers among us voters and otherwise who end up "holding the bag"

Or a certain beer might still include formaldehyde in its ingredients.

Good morning Vietnam?

 

These are actually dangerous if not operated correctly. It's only of use if you can use pressurized oxygen and isn't the most pleasant experience

so the 40,000 baht machine has evolved into a 2.6 million baht machine
