Greater respect for Buddhist monks ordered

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.

There's a clear tendency toward rejection of western values and a return to a more traditional Cambodia. Interesting that Thailand and Myanmar are used as benchmark examples for Cambodia in matters of religion.
We will see. :popcorn:
Traditional Khmer values aren't. This is a throw-back to the puritanism of the Khmer Rouge. Leopards and spots.

The word 'tradition' in SEA has long been used as a code word for refusing western interference.

So many rapey monks. I'm surprised the locals aren't up in arms about it.

They need the drugs. When seated at public events, the monks have to be higher than everyone else.

I always figured it would be a great 'job' -
Go out begging for a hour or so in the morning... and spend the rest of the day stoned/groping girls.
You could be next.
