A Buddhist monk and a 51-year-old man in Chiang Mai have been arrested and charged with sexually exploiting children, according to a Department of Special Investigation (DSI) source.
The two suspects were identified as Surasak Keawman, a Chiang Mai resident, and Phra Vissanu Tejdhammo of Wat Pa Lan in Muang district.
The two were charged with six counts each of child molestation and six counts of depriving a child of parental care.
The DSI source said the men were partners in a business that catered to paedophiles.
The source alleged that Phra Vissanu drove to hill tribe villages in Chiang Mai and neighbouring provinces dressed as a layman to lure boys.
He then brought the boys to Mr Surasak, who sexually seduced them and then forced them to have sex with foreign paedophiles in exchange for money, the DSI source said.
The monk kept photos of Mr Surasak having sex with the boys on his mobile phone, according to the source.
Police arrested Mr Surasak in his house in Muang district and later nabbed the monk after Mr Surasak told them of his whereabouts.
Police found six boys in Mr Surasak's house and other evidence, including lists with the names of male and female teenagers, a baseball bat, an electric prod and condoms.
They also seized a car and motorcycle allegedly used by the pair to transport boys to their customers.
Police also arrested a 67-year-old British man, who was one of Mr Surasak's customers, on the same charges as the two men.
Authorities said many suspects involved in child sexual abuse activities are presently in Chiang Mai. They are vowing to launch another crackdown on child sex offenders.
