The 47-year-old female aide who was caught in a sex scandal with a Thai abbot was reportedly a mother of three who had previously gone bankrupt.
\n\nShe reportedly became rich just a few years after her discharge from bankruptcy, despite not having a stable job.
\n\nAccording to Bangkok Post, Punyavee Rungrueang and the monk, 66-year-old Phra Vajirayan, were accused of embezzling 100 million baht (S$3.8 million) from Wat Phutthaisawan, an ancient royal monastery in Ayutthaya's Muang district.

\n\nAccording to Thai media Amarin TV, Punyavee attended a top university in the country 30 years ago.
\n\nShe is a single mother and reportedly ran a business selling offerings for worship and making vows, which is believed to have been done with special permission from the abbot.
\n\nShe was previously declared bankrupt in 2019 following a breakdown of her marriage and was discharged in 2022.
\n\nJust a few years after her discharge, authorities found she owned two houses worth about 4 million baht (S$153,320), along with a significant amount of cash and valuables.
\n\nThis was despite her not having a stable job or business, police reportedly indicated.
