Monk's fall from grace

re: "Ex-monk too ill to show in court" (BP, August 17)


Dear editor,

I fail to understand the plight of a revered monk (ret.) who was a darling of juntaphiles until something suddenly snapped. The two questions I hope his court case might answer are: 1) How did he so suddenly fall from grace? Did he, like Chamlong with Thaksin, decide that his chosen PM was not quite what he had expected? 2) When will it be Suthep's turn, or is the famously corrupt former member of the "hilariously misnamed" party still in good standing with the dictators, just as Chalerm remained in amazing grace with Thaksin?
