Chinese Monk Arrested for Refusing to Accept Small Donation

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

How about if they are blind? Can they resort to braille?

He's pretending to be a monk. That's the scam.

They aren't allowed to talk to chicks directly, is that right? They can't initiate conversation?
they can talk to anyone but no physical contact with opposite sex, but usually monk dont initiate conversation, buddhism is a very very passive religion, the believe is that if one is fated to be a buddhist, one will be meet buddhism.

for me buddhism is more of a guide for life not a religion.

my first encounter with these monks came in PP about 3 years ago when me and my friends were eating down 172, one came up and started giving a bracelete to my friend, he put a donation in the pot, but the "monk" took it out and asked for 5dollar, i told him to fuck off! the fact that he touched the money and then asked for more... fake cunt

B: Wake up and smell the Farts. He has created a business to support himself posing as a religious holy man. I've run across this jerk about 6 or 7 times in SKV and PP and he always targets tourists or people that look like tourists. (just what I've seen.) He can get aggressive and I and friends have run this scammer off several times. He really doesn't like you taking pictures of him scamming people either. Maybe he can meditate in jail and reach enlightenment.

There have been stories about these fake monks from as far away as New Zealand and Canada. Some are recruited by gangsters under false a false premise and then forced to beg and hand over their earnings.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
