Phra Premsak in monkhood til the end of year

Former Thai Rak Thai partylist MP Premsak Phiayura said yesterday he
would stay in the monkhood until at least the end of the year and urged
three top national leaders to follow in his footsteps.


Speaking at Wat Nanthapimparam in his home province of Khon Kaen, he
said he had been in the monkhood for 90 days, and was content teaching
and helping the local people.


Premsak was known as an outspoken politician and was once a staunch
defender of the Thai Rak Thai Party. But he joined the opposition
parties and People's Alliance for Democracy in criticising Prime
Minister Thaksin Shinawatra shortly before the House dissolution on
February 24.


Premsak said he decided to enter the monkhood as an encouragement for
all sides in the conflicts to hold talks to try to end the political
deadlock.


Following Cabinet secretarygeneral Borwornsak Uwanno's resignation and
decision to enter the monkhood to make merit on the occasion of the 60th
anniversary of His Majesty the King's accession to the throne on
Tuesday, Premsak suggested Thaksin, Senate Speaker Suchon Chaleekrua and
Election Commission chairman Vasana Puemlarp consider following suit.


"They should leave their political posts for the sake of the whole
nation, which will also lessen the sins they have committed against us,"
Premsak said.

I really must apologize for the extended neglect of my blog, especially because my last post was only the beginning of a story. Actually, i just looked at my last post and realized that I had not even said anything, so hopefully i can finish that thought and move on to other things that i am doing.

Anyway, Pao and her friend took me to Wat 'Pim' for my weekend of monkery, but the exact details of the morning are a little hazy due to my semi-conscious state at the time. The temple's archway entrance was well-appointed, and i anticipated my own arrival with equal parts excitement, exhaustion, and dread.
