Wirapol Sukphol, 38, formerly Nen Kham, was escorted from California on an airliner to Tokyo and was switched to Thai Airways International flight TG677 for the final leg to Bangkok. After his arrival at Suvarnabhumi airport late Wednesday (above), the ex-monk and former flashy cleric was whisked to the DSI headquarters (below) for processing and interrogation. Pol Col Paisit said on Wednesday that the questioning process could drag on until Thursday morning and the flamboyant former monk will then be sent to court for detention.
