Fake Monk In Sihanoukville...
Spotted by Huy Bunleng...

About the local attitude to these dudes:
I was in one of the Yuon ghettos (the one behind Mondial marriage centre) not that long ago, and one of these bastards came brazenly up the street a-begging for money. Peeps are not very rich around there.
I took the temperature of the local folks, and it was high, angry - they knew he wasn't a real monk. But they gave him money and wished him on his way.
Why? I asked. They told me that though he is a fakir, he is still wearing a monk's clothes - so you have to.

He gave me a big smile when i looked at him like he was a scoundrel.
Fake monks seem like a new thing in SHV. Never seen them before here. Maybe it's what bracelet kids become when they grow up?

I've been dealing with these guys for maybe 3 years now. They target non-Khmers. I saw one Japanese woman take the beads, open her wallet to get some money, and the asshole reached in and grabbed a $20. She was too embarrassed to say anything and let it go. I've been in a few verbal altercations with the tallest one. Luckily, for us both, I'm a pacifist. Snooky should sort them out! Do neo-nazis hate scamming fake monks? Hope so!exray wrote:Dumb Sino-Khmers give them money for good luck. Victimless crime.

I've seen the taller one a couple times on Beach Rd. Once he was about to hit me up all sweaty with his garment unbuttoned to the waist. My best stink eye made him think better of it.

Another fine example of the solid logic employed in the Kingdom of Wonder. I suppose they'd obey the orders of a fake policeman as well, so long as he's got the uniform on.RobW wrote:they knew he wasn't a real monk. But they gave him money and wished him on his way.

It's devastatingly boring quite quickly I find.
Edit: I'm assuming you are from the Cartesian tradition, not a pak a jig a wog or something like that.

Is this him?
