Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here.

foreigner of a different tradition can be problematic!

There is a white guy wrapped in the monk garb that I see often hanging out in the coffee shops of AEON mall.
I to see him all the time walking up Sothearos in the late morning stopping at all the businesses.

Is that the older gentleman with glasses?

If not, there is another one I often see riding his electric bicycle along Sotheros. I see him most mornings after dropping my kids at school so maybe around 7:30am.

There was also another barang monk who used to stay at wat langka. I would see him walking around bkk1 every day. I haven’t seen him for a year or so now so maybe he’s moved on. I don’t live in the area anymore so maybe I just miss him when he is out on his walks though.
No glasses, a really big dude though, as in tall. I would see him around 11am on my way home from work, never saw him when I went around 7:30am so must be a different guy.
Edit : This was a month or 2 ago.
Definitely a different guy then.

There was a German guy who maybe hung around Wat Lanka, but I saw him in some obscure places, He wore saffron robes and had a shaved head etc and managed to blend in somewhat. He had a Youtube channel and everything.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I think coming in they won't check, especially when you are in robes.
