Did they really believe that if he donned the saffron robes he would be a changed man ?

Songkram has previously been jailed for drugs and murder!!!!!

So he goes into the monkhood and just carries on as before  !!!Incredible  !!!!

As i have stated many times, monks are just crooks in a saffron robe.

I fail to understand why they release murderers.

 If they plead guilty then jail time can be 5 years or less.

Looks like everyone with a criminal background can be found in the monkhood.

Just another suss.... Monk...ey
