Monks on a truck

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything.

Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Monks on a truck

Post by StroppyChops »

While forced relocation is a current topic... I saw one of the caged round-up trucks fully loaded and heading somewhere away from Olympic Market the other day. What surprised me was that half the 'passengers' were monks. Is this normal?

I'm guessing they were headed to the new AEON Mall to see what new iPhones and iPads are available.

And Rolexes - I photographed a couple buying bling watches the other day but didn't post due to the religious tension at the time.

Monk Tales.

First trip to Thailand saw a monk sitting crossed legged bowed forward with his back to me. I thought I'd sneak in front and take a photo of this devout man. He was hunched over a Game Boy.

In Vang Vieng years ago there was a monk who by night used to get rolling drunk and try fight everyone. By day you'd find him tranquilly watering gardens and peacefully going about other monk business.

Sovanna Market. Had a patron of some sort that was footing the bill.
