Cambodia News (Koh Kong): On October 8, 2020, the monks from the monastry at Sre Ambel collaborated with Koh Kong police to arrest two fake monks for begging for money from local people. The police found that the suspects didn't have any identification documents.
The fake monks hired a car from Siem Reap to go to Koh Kong disguised as monks in order to beg for money from the people at the market or other places in Koh Kong.

After their detention, the false monks were defrocked by the Koh Kong chief monk from Sre Ambel, and then sent to the police station to follow the legal procedure.

Best share taxi ride i ever had was late one night, Battambang to Pursat with a couple monks.
The older fat jolly smiling one had broken english and was the funniest jolliest man i have ever met in my life - he just exuded hilarity and a wonderful joyous wisdom of the world.
Professional fake monks.
They tried to entice me to join them at Pursat's seediest KTV dive when we dropped them off at the door
- i shouldda, The girls, everybody, would have had the most uproaring riotest, joyous night of their lives.

Real monks.
