Sondhi Limthongkul to become a monk for life?

The Nation reports that People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) leader Sondhi Limthongkul vowed that he would become a monk for the rest of his life if there is peace in Thailand.

The remark came early in the morning yesterday after a rainstorm had reduced the PAD's numbers at the Government House.

Sondhi, a Thai media-mogul, founder of Manager Daily newspaper and satellite broadcaster ASTV, as well as one of the most important leaders of the PAD, said that he had been able to meditate on Friday evening and his heart was at peace.

I wonder if he really means what he said, as becoming a monk for life is no easy job for a media tycoon.
