How can somebody dare to do things like this?

This is mental sick and I hope the police catches him for a couple of years vacation in Bangkok Hilton.

Respectless and sad to see that people are capable for comitting such a shameful crime.

Thanks for the heads up know they are on here. Some of the other comments were of the tar and feather type. He will be caught as a foreigner he sticks out like a sore thumb. I sincerely hope his punishment exceeds that of the lady who feeds the fish.

The immigration should reconsider the Bt 800,000 bank balance for retirement visas and instead raise it to 8 million baht and start doing a crackdown on all these farang illegal overstayers etc.

My experience is the bigger the bankroll the bigger the thief. Kenway as an example.

Another not unusual TV post: How to manufacture a cheap shot w/tunnel-visioned adaptation, manipulation, misrepresentation and  arrogant, ignorant skill.

Cant' find a single good thing to say, except booze is cheap and so is the replacement costs of furniture I broke at my last fun bar fight.

Not tunnel vision at all.

You cannot deny that there have been a lot of reports of thieving monks over the last few years.

You ever been to Dtuk com or a similar store and seen monks buying phones and computers that many hardworking Thais cannot afford?

Where do you think that money comes from if not stolen from the donations to the temple?

My brother-in-law is a monk. His daughter goes to a private school and she gets a healthy allowance, which he pays for. He has also bought her a motorbike. He paid for a room and bathroom to be built on the side of his other sister's house so his daughter could sleep there.

It just makes me sick when these monks pretend to be Buddhists, but are only in the temple for the easy money.

Or the ones that are behaving like drunk morons in the bars. Or the ones that come here and think they know it all and are little rich kings, although only having a small shitty pension that just happens to be a lot over here. Or the ones that behave like little children in a candy shop. Or the ones that hiding here for law and order at home. Or the ones that ......... do I forgot any?

Yeh, a shit that needs to steals a few baht from a Temple..........

Before you judge the man walk in his shoes. Perhaps he is down on his luck and needs the money to eat, perhaps he has mental issues, perhaps he did not take anything as the video is not really 100% clear. We don't know why he did this. And shouldn't that money go to help those in need. Monks have all the robes they need as most buckets with soap and food that are given include a robe.
The temples get rich while people starve and do without .... shame on the system as it is for not reaching out to people in need.
My 2 cents worth .... for what it's worth

The monks collect a lot of food in the morning and anyone is welcome to come to a temple and share the food with the monks. At least in the Thailand I live in, there is no starvation or desperate poverty here as everyone knows they can get food. 

 

what we do know is that the money on the tree was a gift for the temple, not for anyone just walking through who wants a hand full.

May be he is just trying to find out if Thais are real Buddhists, if they are, what would they do when they caught him later.

A good Buddhist would ask him to sit down get him a cup of tea or coffee and tell him the money he stole is no big deal, just some small change really.

Then tell him that it's your countrymen from Oz, NZ, Britain, USA......they are not happy with you because you made them loose face. Have you thought about that? So, just go back to the temple and give the money back and feel free to come back here for coffee anytime. We will be happy to have coffee with you again, we are still friends you know.

That's what good Buddhists would do, and he is waiting for that to happen I guess.

Good Buddhists do not condemn or criticize, when he realize that he becomes a monk.

Your right of course. Sometimes even the best of people are hit with a desire to push the envelope and damn the consequences. I know that I  have been a couple times in my lifetime.

I haven't made 21,000 comments, but that is not important..Price hikes, well your own country will FAR out way that one...Wrong types coming here have nothing to do with me or to be concerned about...I personally in my life get on better with Thai folk than farangs..Which shows we are all different with our expectations and fitting in with a very different culture.....

Stealing from religious places, shame on you, no comments!

 

Preferable punishment should be cleaning a temple for a week.

And washing the monks undies, assuming they wear them.

White trousers are only one step up the sleazy scale from white shoes.

Yet again another farang robbing the locals blind.

This guy just ultra multiply his bad kamma....but forgivness and compassion  ( about the mountains of misery this poor chap just created for himself )) should be the action to be applied...not reactions (like hang him higher etc. ).....I am sure the authority's, the falang community and the Thai police will have him soon... whatever worldly punishment ( if any ) he will receive change little to the sorrow and suffering inside and around him  he will start receiving soon....

As religions have been telling outright lies, stealing from the ignorant populations and been the cause of millions of deaths over the centuries, taking a few Baht from a wealthy temple shouldn't be a big issue.

 

And anyway, these buddhist monks are supposed to give up worldly goods, so he is simply helping them out.

All religion advises us to give to the those who cannot afford. But it is widely mistaken, because we show off to the world where and what we are giving.

 

True charity should be unknown to unknown. If we are bribing the God and Godmen something in return, we are all praying wrong for ever!

What is his TV member name? I am sure that he is one of those TV members who online claim that they are so rich, making monies online or something else, are married to hiso thai-chinese wifes, live like a king upcountry, etc etc.

 

By the way, this news has appeared in all the thai dailies and also appearing in more and moreTV  morning news today. Good PR image for farangs!

No just extra fuel for xenophobes ! People everywhere love to blame ' outsiders ' for all the ills of the world , many Thais are particularly enthusiastic in playing that game.

I remember seeing a piece about a Thai man stealing from the collection trays at a temple. It passed without much ado. But when it's a Farang, Oh MY! The Sky is falling!  

[balo]

Clearly he is wearing a wig and will be difficult to catch now. Remove the sunglasses and the wig and he could be you or me.
