# Talk:2017–2020 Thai temple fraud investigations

Although the six monastics arrested and kept in a prison would normally be described in English as being detained, this distinction in Thai language between detained and imprisoned, before and after a trial respectively, does not exist. In Thai sources, the monks arrested in the fraud investigations are therefore described as imprisoned. I haven't found any evidence of any better treatment than prisoners, so maybe we should just follow the Thai. What do you think?--Farang Rak Tham  (Talk) 21:42, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

I concur, there is no difference between jail awaiting trial or prison for people formally convicted in Thailand. Wikiman5676 (talk) 01:53, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
