If a monk hit my wife, he'd get a pasting too :)

And the monk was not penalized, the child-boy monk started it all. Should be on jail 3 months minimum and de-monked the monkey

Monkman was complaining about what he had to pay? I thought Monkmen can not touch money?

Come to think of it, Monkmen can not touch women too....

So many Thais act like little kids in the playground, don't they. Every day we read on here and elsewhere so many examples of immature behaviour. Why is it they never grow up.

Thai Reality Show????

[rkidlad]

I'm not a monk nor am I religious. Infact, I'm an atheist. We have no doctrine and we live by no rules. Yet, I've never, and never would, lay my hands on a woman. I guess even religulous people can have a moral code.

 

Hitting women is like sleeping with your sister. You just don't do it.

I wonder was the video available to the Land Transport Dept. before they issued the fine. Appears to be totally unjust to fine a man for defending his wife from an attacker?

PS. And then to defend himself from a follow up attack from the same attacker.

Two wrongs don't make a right!!!

[bazza73]

I'm wondering what happened to JAI YENN.

 

I'm also wondering why, in the light of the clear video evidence, the monk got off scot-free.

[neeray]

As so many members said, "spitting

monk" gave the first punches, twice. 

No justice here !

another great example of the state of thai buddhism

....and the company they work for. The service is withdrawn, so the community at large suffers the inconvenience of no more bus. 

 

All because of a superstitious belief that young hooligans in orange robes are "holy" and wholly untouchable. 

[TheFishman1]

Monks here a Joke saw a Monk today in plane view releaving himself right on the street TIT

[kensisaket]

Anyone who spends time at temples will tell you that possibly 1% of the men wearing orange robes are monks.  The other 99% are there for reasons other than religion.  On the other side, pretty much everyone on here knows that Thai women don't know how to shut up once they get started.  They got the "monk" out of their van that should have been the end of the story.  Most of these people are not smart enough to know that, 1. someone is taking a video, 2. it's going to be posted on FB, 3. the police are going to see it 4. once the police get involved they are going to check into everything.  50000 baht is a pretty hefty fine for not knowing how to keep your mouth shut.

The monk is allowed to commit the crime of assault? Since when? Citizen's justice looks well deserved here and should be supported by all.       These (orange) "blanket" laws that allow monks the inviolable position of immunity from just about everything only encourages them to get worse.

Thai bhuddism is not real bhuddism. They are just lazy no good beggars.

Don't forget, monkman spit on the cabs floor. Monkmen are just as materialistic with fragile egos as the majority here.

The majority? I think that's unfair, I think most Thai men are decent apart from when they are driving or riding.

I was on a Bangkok bus not long after I came here, there were plenty of seats available, a monk came on and gestured to me rudely to

get up and give him my seat, I told him to <deleted> off, and he did. I then checked to see if anyone had any preference for where I was sitting, there

was no notice at my seat, not even in Thai.

I think maybe he wanted my seat as it was next to the door, or he did not want to share with anybody. I just hate the way they expect preference

over people for things, but they won't be getting any from me.

How to become a monk?

Flee from Burma, because convicted or prosecuted. Come with all your burdens, also tattoos, looking for accommodation and food. Decide to become a monk in order to be safe and earn a lot of money.

Sure that is only a part of tehm, but

when I entered the country my first time in the 70" there was a lack of monks. I talked to a couple of them. They told me young boys are looking for drugs, girls and money.

Well, there is no change up to now but the boys are now even monks.

I can't respect any of those 'monks". For me they are greedy and rude as anybody. "God" is only a word and Buddhism a cloak for greediness. Not all I admit.

If you were in London or any other city, you would be saying the same thing. There are guys like that everywhere.

Excuse me? Not like me, thank you, nor most of us as we do not beat on women.

A bully who puts on  monk's robes is not magically transformed into an enlightened being. he remains a bully  until he changes his behavior.

Hopefully, this monk is disrobed and the bud driver and wife sue the monk for his violent assault.

A capitalist monk.

[cyberfarang]

As with most Thais there is rarely any compromise and the word diplomatic is not in the Thai dictionary.

 

Each one has to stress they are in the right and win an argument at all costs, the losing face syndrome. This is why even in Thai politics there is no such thing as a negotiating table and it always requires a third party to resolve matters.

 

 

[Happyman58]

Just thinking here  The Monk was complaining about the fare What about the Monks when they charge 400 baht for farang to visit the golden temple in Bangkok and Thai get charged 40 Baht Next time that happens i might complain and deck one of the Monks  I am on the drivers side The Monk hit the lady and if it was my wife i would of flattened the Monk also Thugs in orange robes they are
