But they prefer the monks to only fraternise at non-monk expected places that are already used by only other monks.

Secret Monk Fight Club may well prove popular once it actually exists.

More monks behaving badly, but these ones are just kids being kids really. They could have just 'educated' them :

More Monks Defrocked after Being Caught Out
Four young monks were defrocked and expelled from their pagoda in Prey Veng province yesterday after they changed out of their robes, left the pagoda at night and went dancing at a local ceremony, according to police.

“They always took off their monks’ robes and left the pagoda at night to sing karaoke, drink and dance in the villages,” Maj. Seng Heang said. “Their activities have seriously affected the reputation and honor of Buddhist monks and peoples’ beliefs.

He added that the four defrocked monks were: Khun Vian, 17, Yann Chantry, 17, Ath Sam Oun, 18, and Touch Sarath, 16.
