Two Cambodian Buddhist monks have been arrested in the popular tourist city of Siem Reap for smoking crystal methamphetamine along with two women in their pagoda.
...Pur Langka's pagoda chief monk said that the two monks had already been defrocked.
He added that Pich David was expelled from the pagoda in 2012 for bad behaviour but allowed in again in 2013 under promise to respect the Buddhist doctrine and follow the rules of the pagoda.
A number of complaints at the monks' late-nights parties and general attitude in the past months led pagoda authorities to call the police.
Buddhist monks are forbidden to drink alcohol and take drugs and must abstain from sexual intercourse.
