Monks are not what they used to be.
Kompot Province:
On 24 August 2017, five spiritual monks and two other suspects involved in drugs use and sale were accused and arrested in Chankiri Pagoda in Prey Phadao Village, Phnom Kong Commune.
The suspects were Chan Theourn--42 years of age, Pa Vireak--23 years old, Kin Borith--18 years old, Keo Teth--24 years of age, Chhen Vanna--32 years of age, Sot Long--41 years of age, and Hun Sovannara--25 years of age.

Good job being a monk - free accommodation, walk around town in the morning and collect free food, then kick back and get stoned for the rest of the day... do a little 'dealing' for pocket money.

I would not be surprised if they were temporary monks, either sent there to avoid getting collared by the police or sent there by parents who could not deal with them.

I thought that's what parents did with there boys? Sent to Monk Hood for a better life that they can not provide and obviously much better than the old orchestrated orphanage tourism.
I do agree with your opinion on 'temporary monks' this would explain last year's drug arrests. Dressing as a monk is not the worst idea and I'm yet to see a pat down of a burqua wearing woman at an airport.
