Private jet-flying Buddhist monk 'a fake'

The controversial Buddhist monk whose flamboyant, jet-set lifestyle has sparked outrage in Thailand, is married and has been accused of being a fake.

Luang Pu Nenkham Chattigo has attracted attention ever since a video of him flying on a private jet, while wearing aviator sunglasses and carrying a Louis Vuitton bag went viral.

Buddhist monks are supposed to stay celibate. However the 34-year-old abbot of the Khantitham Forest Monastery is apparently married to a woman named Yupinpraethong Janthawa, and has allegedly had relationships with seven other women, according to Thailand's Department of Special Investigations (DSI).

 On Friday, the abbot was accused of being a fake monk and of committing fraud by wearing monk's robes he is not entitled to. Posing and dressing as a monk is a criminal offence in Thailand. Full story...
