THOUSANDS of followers of Thailand’s biggest Buddhist temple defied orders to leave its grounds yesterday to enable police to seek out their former abbot, who is accused of money laundering.
Police ordered worshippers to leave Dhammakaya temple by 3pm so that they could intensify the search for former abbot Phra Dhammachayo. But his followers flocked into the 1,000-acre compound. Many held rudimentary placards in English and Thai calling for police to stand down and appealed for international help.
