Female aide, 47, caught having sex with monk, 66, allegedly owns 2 houses just a few years after bankruptcy
Both have been arrested.
A 47-year-old female aide, Punyavee Rungrueang, has been accused of having a sexual relationship with a 66-year-old monk, Phra Vajirayan, according to Thai media reports. The pair allegedly embezzled 100 million baht (S$3.8 million) from Wat Phutthaisawan, a historic monastery in Ayutthaya. Punyavee, a single mother of three, was previously declared bankrupt in 2019 but has since amassed significant wealth, including ownership of two houses and a large sum of cash, despite lacking a stable job or business.
She had reportedly run a business selling offerings for worship, which may have been permitted by the abbot.
