Thailand riveted by jet-setting monk scandal

BANGKOK — He's known as Thailand's jet-setting fugitive monk, and his story has riveted the country with daily headlines of lavish excess, promiscuity and alleged crimes ranging from statutory rape to manslaughter.

Until a month ago, 33-year old Wirapol Sukphol was relatively unknown in Thailand. Now he is at the center of the biggest religious scandal the predominantly Buddhist country has seen in years.

Despite the vows he took to lead a life of celibacy and simplicity, Wirapol had a taste for luxury, police say. His excesses first came to light in June with a YouTube video that went viral. It showed the orange-robed monk in aviator sunglasses taking a private jet ride with a Louis Vuitton carry-on.

The video sparked criticism of his un-monkly behavior and a stream of humorous headlines like, "Now boarding, Air Nirvana."

Since then, a long list of darker secrets has emerged - including his accumulated assets of an estimated 1 billion baht ($32 million). This week, authorities issued an arrest warrant for the disgraced monk after having him defrocked in absentia.

Wirapol was in France when the scandal surfaced after leading a meditation retreat at a monastery near Provence. He is believed to have then fled to the United States but his current whereabouts are unknown.

The arrest warrant implicates him on three charges including statutory rape, embezzlement and online fraud to seek donations. He is also under investigation for money laundering, drug trafficking and manslaughter for a hit-and-run accident. Authorities are struggling to figure out how he amassed so much money.

"Over the years there have been several cases of men who abused the robe, but never has a monk been implicated in so many crimes," said Pong-in Intarakhao, the case's chief investigator for the Department of Special Investigation, Thailand's equivalent of the FBI. "We have never seen a case this widespread, where a monk has caused so much damage to so many people and to Thai society."

Cases of monk misconduct in recent years have centered on alcohol use or cavorting with women or men, all forbidden activities. Last year, about 300 of Thailand's 61,416 full-time monks were reprimanded and in several cases disrobed for violating their vows, according to the Office of National Buddhism.

In Wirapol's case, investigators believe they have only scratched the surface.

Born in the poor northeastern province of Ubon Ratchathani, he entered the monkhood as a teenager and gained local renown for claims of supernatural powers like the ability to fly, walk on water and talk to deities. He renamed himself, Luang Pu Nen Kham, taking on a self-bestowed title normally reserved for elder monks.

Gradually, he cultivated wealthy followers to help fund expensive projects in the name of Buddhism - building temples, hospitals and what was touted as the world's largest Emerald Buddha. The 11-meter (36-foot) high Buddha was built at his temple in the northeast, touted as solid jade but made of tinted concrete.

Thailand's Anti-Money Laundering Office has discovered 41 bank accounts linked to the ex-monk. Several of the accounts kept about 200 million baht ($6.4 million) in constant circulation, raising suspicion of money laundering.

Why I changed from Wordpress to Blogger?

Hola...

If you looked at this post's title, I think you got it.
So let me straight to the point.

When I registered for Wordpress's account 2 days ago, I realized a few things that make
Blogger is always be my favorite choice...

*Unless when I have my own domain in the future.. Lols..

Firstly, Blogger dashboard is user-friendly compared to Wordpress dashboard..

Blogger dashboard all in one page with quick compose button found next to blog title itself.
Beneath this are new posts from any blog that you decided to follow in service.

Huh!! What is this?

I did not surprised if there are many people reading this aren't not familiar with screenshot above, which is Wordpress dashboard. As you can see, everything is compartmentalized. Although it looks vey easy and simple but for me, as a newbie in blogging world, it is very confusing. As you have to deal with super-duper-confusing-terms in one page only..

I hope you know that I means.

To be honest, Wordpress offer a nice-simple theme. And also there are a lot of choices.
I mean A LOT compared with Blogger.

But, Blogger have a card up its sleeve!! Like a magician..

It offers its user a freedom to customized the template as they wants!!

Oh Yeah!! Design what you want, no one will compliant or scold you!!
Hehehe....

Design you own blog like these...

Nice, right?

Ok, last but not least, Wordpress don't support third party ads like NUFFNANG!!

It's nicer if you can blogging while making money at the same time.. I mean..

...DUPLICATING THE NUMBER OF CASH!

Nuffnang will pay you very well if you have a good blog;
good writing skills, many followers and awesome design.

I know someone that making money just with blogging.
Try ask Mr. Google; beautifulnara.

Thats all my post for this time.
Happy blogging with Blogger!!! ^_^
