SUPHANBURI: -- A monk in robes borrowed his mate's car and took it for a spin on the roads near his Suphanburi temple.

 

Unfortunately no sooner had he got out of the temple and put the orange motor into top gear, he hit a tree and was trapped inside with another friend.

 

It all happened yesterday - just one day before Phra Thapanat Chaiyasut, 31, was to leave the monkhood.

 

Sam Chuk police and medics rushed to the scene of the accident yesterday and founf the monk and Bunrit Pheungcharoen, 19, trapped in the car that was severely damaged.

 

The monk broke his arm and had a leg injury. His passenger was unconscious and immediately taken to hospital, reported Daily News.

 

Police discovered that Phra Thapanat had been visited by a friend and had asked to borrow his car. He raced out of the temple at high speed and almost immediately lost control crashing into a tree.

 

It was not reported if there were any amulets in the car.

I would imagine there were no amulets in the car, as well as no brain cells in there either.

If he was a real monk he wouldnt have needed amulets the other bloke however...At least someone at daily news has a sense of humour.

[leeneeds]

The newly to be defrocked monk will now request 

alms and making merit, rescinding his retirement,

the mentality of these three amigos adds up to 

-- 0.03

 

[ezzra]

Those short time monks are not the real deal, they're there from ulterior

and selfish motives, some even become monks to escape consequences

being a civilian, so it's not surprising to see those guys being involved

in many unholy activities.....

[PatOngo]

On behalf of all keyboard warriors, I wish them a speedy recovery! RIP the mates car!

[onemorechang]

Ha  Ha , Monks in sports cars.

What ever next 

Amazing Thailand 

[colinneil]

Well at least he had the correct colour car for his little jaunt.

The money he made being a monk will be needed to pay for the car.

Just another monk behaving badly.

[thhMan]

Its no wonder he is on his way out

Pity the Monks dont have sympathy for the general population as they are unleashing this peanut brain into

[Rhys]

.... and he will be out on the roads soon...

Perhaps one of Thai Visa's resident car buffs can identify the make and model of the crashed vehicle?

Good man ,OUT in style  WITH A Big BANG. ?

[NCC1701A]

driving a car is complicated.

[rkidlad]

Someone showed me this pic on their phone yesterday. I rhetorically asked "What's a monk doing driving a sports car?"

 

"He was doing a speed test" they earnestly replied. 

 

Oh, well, that's okay then. Nothing to see here.

These so called idiots who claim to be follows of the faith are taking the piss and they know it because they can usually get away with extortion.

No dignity. No respect Yet again! T. I. T!

How long  was he a monk?3 days to keep mum happy.Waste of money but hey,the wat gets it's cut.What an abuse of Buddism.What a sad thing  modern Thai Buddism has turned out to be.A complete perversion of what it was and should be.And most Thais are brainwashed from birth about the wrong way to go.

[Retiredandhappyhere]

I have to wonder what percentage of the guys wearing saffron robes in the temples nowadays are genuine long-term followers of Buddha?  

Many seem to be there on a very temporary basis to satisfy tradition, or to escape the real world with all its problems, or just to make money.

The non-genuine monks do the reputation of all the others no good at all and do a great disservice to Buddhism, which, exercised properly, seems to me to be a great way to live one's life.   Unfortunately, there does not seem to be much evidence of true Buddhism

in Thailand just now.

Maybe he was getting good vibes on the next life he had in store so it was time to do the "Back To The Future" move. Everybody miscalculates from time to time.

I can remember in a village where a young lad was entering the Monkhood. The parents must have shelled out over a 100,000 bahts for a "entering" party.  Sure were a lot of happy drunks there.
