Former Wat Phra Dhammakaya abbot Phra Dhammajayo was unable to attend a major temple ceremony this month because of health concerns, despite expectations among followers that he might make a rare appearance, a spokesman for his disciples said. Phra Dhammajayo, 82, disappeared in 2017 after failing to answer money-laundering and receiving stolen property charges linked to the huge Klongchan Credit Union Cooperative embezzlement scandal.
