Department of Special Investigation deputy chief Pol Maj Gen Suriya Singhakamol led DSI officials and police to enter Gate 7 of the Dhammakaya Temple to resume the search operation Friday morning.
The search on Thursday did not find Phra Dhammachayo, the honourary abbot who is wanted on money laundering charges.
DSI officials and police plan to search eight spots in Zone B and Zone C of the temple, including Chan Khonnokyoong memorial building, the 60th anniversary praying hall and the Daowaddueng building.
It is believed that Phra Dhammachayo is still hiding inside the temple but managed to evade the officials by fleeing around the vast area that has many buildings.
