Thanks to Jampa Tsedroen for posting this blog link. It has been
most informative, especially by giving us the opportunity to read
Ajahn Brahm's account.

I just read this paragraphy in the TheravadaBlog:

Moreover, what the Thai Sangha Laws actually say seems to be
shrouded in myth. It is often stated that such laws prohibit
bhikkhuni ordination, but the information I possess is that no
such law actually exists. Nor does one agree to uphold Thai law
by accepting the Chao Khun status, and no such thing is written
on the Chao Khun certificate.

The full texts can be found in English here:
