He posted pictures of these so-called monks on Facebook, saying
He ran into them on a road in Phetchaburi province. Initially, the monks asked for water, before changing their request to ask for money.
The man’s post went viral when other victims shared their experience. It appears as if this gang of five usually target tourists and spend the money they get to buy snacks.
The man said he was afraid that this group of “fake” monks may commit violent acts in the future.
