Thanks Noodles. Post taken from TD. https://teakdoor.com/the-teakdoor-lou...what-your.html (Monks in B50 Million cars - What are your thoughts?)

This picture was taken yesterday in the Kantaralak district of Sisaket province in North Eastern Thailand.

The picture shows the arrival of a famous monk visiting the villagers who have been displaced from the border area because of fighting between Thai and Cambodian troops.

The arrival of the monk got a single line mention in the Nation Newspaper towards the end of an article about the plight of the villagers in the area.

Here is the mention it got in the Nation:
Quote:
A famous local monk arrived in the afternoon in his new Bt50 million Rolls Royce to provide amulets and words of assurance to the mostly poor villagers.
Here is a link to the story: As the guns roar, feelings harden among border evacuees

No picture was included. So here's one for you.

What are your, thoughts?

Chalerms Roller only cost 2.1 million baht. Should tell that Monk to shop around first eh?

Right. This is all new behavior. Let's harken back to a truly enlightened era, 2,600 years ago. They had it right then.

VIDEO REPORT: Officials confirm high-flying monk not on Buddhist business

Phuket NEWS: VIDEO REPORT: Officials confirm high-flying monk not

PHUKET: If renowned monk Luang Pu Nenkham is in Phuket, it is not on temple business, the Phuket Gazette confirmed yesterday.

Luang Pu Nenkham is wanted for questioning after being filmed on board a private jet while sporting brand-name sunglasses and a Louis Vuitton bag.

Chatpawit Jinapong, Director of the Phuket branch of the National Office of Buddhism, told the Gazette that he must be notified of any high-ranking monks visiting the island.

“I must be informed of any high-ranking or well-known monks coming to Phuket… Unless they come on private business,” said Mr Chatpawit.

“I know Luang Pu Nenkham. He is famous, as we have seen in the Thai media recently. I have heard that he has a lot of wealthy followers. Nonetheless, I have yet to be informed of him coming to Phuket,” he said.

Officials at Phuket International Airport said they could not confirm whether or not Luang Pu Nenkham was on the island.

“We can confirm which aircraft, including private jets, have landed on and departed from Phuket, but we cannot release the names of any people on the flight manifests,” one officer said.

Followers of Luang Pu Nenkham denied on Thursday all allegations against their revered spiritual leader, including a picture allegedly showing him lying next to a woman.

“The picture is doctored,” said disciple Pattaradej Sopongpanich, who also countered that there was nothing wrong with Luang Pu Nenkham riding in a private jet, given that someone else had arranged the trip for him.

“He was invited to carry out rites in Phuket, that’s why he was on the jet,” said Mr Pattaradej.

Luang Pu Nenkham had the expensive Louis Vuitton bag, said Mr Pattaradej, because followers had given it to him.

Commenting on the huge donations Luang Pu Nenkham had received, Mr Pattaradej said the board of Wat Pa Khantitham, where the monk serves as abbot, had kept records of all the donations and how they had been put to use.

“The donations are used for good causes, like helping people in need,” he said.

Nonetheless, Si Sa Ket Buddhism Office’s director Virod Chaiyaphannana said he was verbally instructed to investigate all financial transactions to and from Wat Pa Khantitham.

“I will see what can be done in line with the law,” he said.

Supporters of Controversial Monk Defend His Luxurious Lifestyle : Khaosod Online

Supporters of Controversial Monk Defend His Luxurious Lifestyle

(21 June) Spiritual followers of a controversial monk defend his lavish lifestyle which hit headlines around the world, even as torrents of public criticism continue to mount against him.

Luang Puu (Elder/Grandfather Monk) Nen Kam Chattigo, whose temple is based in Sisaket province, was seen on various images and videos riding a camel in his trip to Egypt, showing off a Mercedes Benz, smiling from his seat in a helicopter, and relaxing with an iPhone and Luis Vuitton bag on his private jet plane.

But the image which seems to touch off the nerve of the public the most is the one that appears to show Luang Nen Kam sleeping next to a girl. Both were presumed to be naked. The Office of National Buddhism has previously called for investigation into the matters, calling his actions damaging to the faith of Buddhists, since Buddhist monks were supposed to lead a humble life.

Although his title suggests that he is an aged monk, Luang Nen Kam is believed to be in his late 30s. His followers said that the title of Luang Pu denotes the years he had lived in his previous lives.

The monk himself has not spoken to the public since the issue surfaced. His temple staff said he′s currently on a trip in Europe and will be back in Thailand "soon". It is not clear which country he is traveling at the moment.

In the meantime, his spiritual supporters - which are believe to be numerous and include many influential businessmen and bureaucrats - are rallying behind him. Yesterday (20 June) a group of such supporters, led by Mr. Pattaradech Sopanpanich, hosted a press conference in Nonthaburi province to tell their side of the story. The conference was attended by more than 100 followers of Luang Pu Nen Kam.

Mr. Pattaradech said that the media attack on Luang Pu is "unfair", saying that he did not own or buy any such luxury. The helicopter and jet plane rides, he said, were paid for by the monk′s followers who want to offer convenient and fast means of travel for Luang Pu. As for Luis Vuitton bag, Mr. Pattaradech said they were all donated to him by the templegoers.

Mr. Pattaradech also dismissed the allegation that Luang Puu Nen Kam slept with a woman. He told reporters that the sordid image was fabricated 4-5 years ago by someone who unsuccessfully attempted to extort 7 million baht from the monk.

He also deflected criticism about the construction of emerald Buddha statue which costs over 200 million baht. Mr. Pattaradech said the temple gathered money from faithful donators and all donation procedures are transparent.

Phra (Monk) Takrit Kantadharmmo, spokesman of Luang Pu Nen Kam, told the reporters that he has spoken to Luang Pu and insisted that the monk would explain everything to the press once he′s back in Thailand. He denied suggestion that the Buddhist authorities might strip his temple from religious site status, noting that the temple has never been registered properly in the first place.

Meanwhile, Mr. Virord Chaipannana, director Sisaket′s provincial chapter of Office of National Buddhism (ONAB), said that a committee has been established to investigate Luang Pu Nen Kam′s financial status. He said the investigation will start as soon as the monk returned from abroad, and if the monk is found to be guilty of any wrongdoing, he will be instantly expelled from monkhood.

However, Mr. Virord said that the investigation will be difficult because Luang Pu′s temple in Sisaket province is not officially registered with ONAB. Therefore, he said, officials can only see whether the donations have been properly spent, but they have no way of knowing where the money comes from or who really has the ownership over the massive donation.

Mr. Virord noted that the decision by Luang Pu Nen Kam not to register his temple officially might be a calculated move to avoid such investigation.

Coconuts | Bangkok | More scandals emerge involving Louis Vuitton-toting monk


The reputation of Luang Pu Nenkham Chattigo, the head abbot of Wat Pa Khanti Dhamma, is apparently on the wane, as more scandals emerge involving his profligate lifestyle.

This weekend, Luang Pu Nenkham was accused of building a THB2 million home in Srisaket Province for his ex-girlfriend.

According to Kapook, the father of the ex-girlfriend said that Luang Pu Nenkham’s relationship with his daughter stretched back to 2003.

He had promised to leave the monkhood in the next three years to marry her, but never did. The house was left 60% complete.

A spokesperson for Wat Pa Khanti Dhamma shrugged off the accusation, saying that Luang Pu Nenkham was only 24 at the time, implying that the monk simply did not have enough money to build the house.

Luang Pu Nenkham is also being heavily scrutinized by netizens. A video of the monk serving as a presenter for an air purifier recently swept through the online community and drew grave criticisms.

“This is the brand I use everyday in my dwelling,” said Luang Pu Nenkham in the promotional sketch. “I wake up every morning fresh and cheerful.”

Both the buyer and seller in this parasitic conspiracy concluding the deal with a nod and a wink.

New age westerners and silly tourists also lap this shite up, its soooooo cooooool.




Reminds me of the selling of indulgences in sixteenth century catholicism.

he is still on hols somewhere and no explanation yet..............

AMLO asked to probe monk's assets - The Nation
*
BANGKOK: -- The Facebook network against acts that destroy kingdom, religion and monarchy, on Tuesday urged the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) to probe the assets of Si Sa Ket monastery monk Luang Pu Nenkham.

The monk has recently been at the centre of a lot of negative publicity after a video clip of him on board a private jet, sporting brandname sunglasses and a Louis Vuitton bag went viral.

The monk however remained abroad hence didn't explain himself yet.

Submitting the request to AMLO deputy chief Suwanee Sawaengpol, the network chairman Songkran Atchariyasap urged the agency to probe and announce the result to the public.

If the monk was guilty, the agency should freeze all transactions immediately because there might be some beneficiary parties that are influential persons.

He said group would also file a similar request for probe to the Crime Suppression Police on Thursday.

BANGKOK: -- A controversial Si Sa Ket monk appears to have set up a vast number of unauthorised centres around the country and overseas, the National Office of Buddhism chief Nopparat Benjawatt-ananan said yesterday.

Monk set up 201 centres 'illegally' - The Nation


The monk, who calls himself "Luang Pu Nenkham", was originally called "Phra Wirapol Sukphol", from a temple in Ubon Ratchathani - Wat Tai Phrachaoyai Ong Teu. His name appeared under a centre that supervises Buddhist monks travelling overseas (sortorpor.org).

The agency's probe found the monk had set up 201 "monasteries"without proper authority. So, the office plans to probe further and take legal action.

The monk came to public attention after a video was posted showing him in a private jet. Now, more YouTube clips have been found - and drawn further criticism, for claiming he has supernatural power. In a sermon at the laying of a foundation of a Vihara to enshrine a replica of the Emerald Buddha at Wat Pa Khantitham in April 2011, he claimed to have contact with supernatural beings. He also claimed to have received over eight tonnes of gold for the replica.

Department of Fine Arts chief Sahawat Naenna said it had sent a letter urging the monk to apply for permission to build the replica, as the Emerald Buddha was first on a list of 61 key Buddha images and permission was required to do that.

Meanwhile, the Facebook "Net-work Against Acts that Destroy King-dom, Religion and Monarchy" urged the Anti Money Laundering Office to probe the assets of Luang Pu Nen-kham network.

If the monk's assets are thought to be suspect, the network's chairman Songkran Atchariyasap urged an immediate freeze on all transactions. He said the group would also file a request to the Crime Suppression Police tomorrow for a similar probe.
