2 Foreigners Dress Up as Monks at Ta Prohm Temple, Siem Reap

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.

Those who entered the priesthood stay at the pagoda and learn the doctrine of Buddhism.

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

There are market stalls that sell monk robes and gift sets for monks etc.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Yes they are not allowed to do or own all these stuff. I honestly have no idea too. I don't go to pagoda that often and not really into religion too.
