David and Victoria Beckham upset Buddhist monks in Thailand

David and Victoria Beckham have upset Buddhist monks in Thailand.
The monks are upset about a state-of-the-art mosquito exterminator installed
at the couple's recently renovated new home on the Thai island of Koh Samui.

The religious men - who believe all animals, no matter how small, are equal
- have reportedly suggested the former Spice Girl and her soccer star
husband find a non-harmful solution to the blood-sucking insects
A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "The Beckhams were very keen
to keep the mosquitoes out because they can carry disease, as well as being
annoying.
"But the last thing they want to do is annoy the locals, especially the
monks who've been here hundreds of years, so they've got a real dilemma
now."
The Beckhams bought their three-storey hillside home on the island in 2007
for 4.5 million Euros, but the full cost of the home after renovations is
believed to be closer to 10 million Euros.
The house is also partly environmentally friendly, utilising solar panels to
create some of its electricity. It also boasts 360-degree views of the
popular holiday island.
Former England soccer team manager Sven Goran Eriksson also has a home on
the tropical island.
