SENIOR Buddhist monks have been put under surveillance in Thailand after sex and financial scandals.


An abbot from a temple near the capital Bangkok was arrested last week after an undercover television crew filmed him during a two-day stake-out masquerading as an army colonel, driving a Mercedes Benz car and spending a night in a private house with two women.


Wanchai Oonsap, 43, was defrocked the next day and later admitted having sex with one of the women. Police confiscated a toupee, whisky, lingerie, condoms and pornographic material from the house where he regularly spent the night. He claimed that 10 other senior monks had “secretly indulged themselves in worldly affairs”.


Angry locals now refuse to give alms at his Tha Chang temple in Suphanburi province, in a country which is 95 per cent Buddhist and where insulting religion is a crime.
