Thai Monk Caught with his Pants Down

The Thai media seem to love it when they can catch a monk in a compromising situation. Either being drunk or eating at a restaurant with a woman. But this one posted today on YouTube is a classic “caught in the act” for this Thai monk from a temple in Khon Kaen. Monks are not allowed to be alone with women but this one was caught by police alone in a hotel room with a 21 year old prostitute. Apparently he paid her 400 Baht (US$13.40) to sleep with her. It feels like almost every day now that there is a monk on the news for the wrong reason. What do you think, are the days of Buddhism numbered or are these still isolated incidents?

Thailand’s Khantitham Forest Monastery is facing tough times. It’s abbot, Luang Pu Nenkham Chattigo, has been barred from transferring money out his bank accounts by Thailand’s Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO).

The 34-year-old monk has been attracting attention ever since a video of him flying a private jet while wearing aviator sunglasses, carrying a Louis Vuitton bag went viral last month. A widely-circulated photograph of him lying next to an apparently naked woman caused further outrage in Thailand, which has the world’s largest Buddhist population, and where monks are supposed to be celibate.

A Buddhist monk, who caused controversy after he was filmed travelling on board a private jet , has had his assets frozen and is at the centre of a sex scandal.

Luang Pu Nenkham Chattigo, who is the abbot of Thailand’s Khantitham Forest Monastery, received the ban from the country’s Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO), amid suspicions of money laundering and fraud.
Chattigo and his associates reportedly have 16 bank accounts, of which around ten are involved in daily transactions of up to 200 millon Baht (£4m), the Bangkok Post reports.

Footage of Luang Pu Nenkham Chattigo aboard a private jet emerged in June

TK: The smoke addictive Thai monks. They cannot even hold precepts well, not to mention meditation and wisdom. That may be inferred there is no Arhat in Thailand. Who declares someone is Arhat, gets sin of severe deception. As to Buddhist monks have sexual intercourse with women, they have to go down to hell after this life!

Following the release of a YouTube video of a group of jet-setting Buddhist monks living it up on a private jet, Thailand's national Buddhism body is now investigating monks across the globe for similarly inappropriate behavior. The monks featured in the video, outfitted with Louis Vuitton luggage and clad in trendy aviators and headphones, look like they're straight out of a P. Diddy music video rather than an ascetic monastery.
