Monks in the French Quarter

When did this happen? There’s a few Asian monks in the Quarter trying to hand bracelets to tourists and then aggressively asking for money. Gotta dodge them, gutter punks and the “I know where you got your shoes from” folks.

It's a scam. They're not really monks.

First place I saw this was NYC almost 10 years ago.

Is this the new harikrishna? Used to have to dodge those deadbeats at the airport.

Naw. That was a cult. These are fake monks begging from tourists.
The ones in NYC were "building a temple"

I see them in Vegas.

Hopefully they can provide security. Are they Shaou Lin monks?

Listen, Paul Kinsey needs something to believe in and we shouldn't deny him that after his failures in advertising.

They’ve been around for at least five years.

First time in the French Quarter, huh?

Any religious figure who asks for money is fraud
Posted on 12/29/25 at 12:27 pm to yaboidarrell
Is no one working legit jobs anymore?

Test their martial arts skills to see if they are real.

They go take breaks to chain smoke Cigs outside at the Daiquiri Shop on Decatur and Wilkinson around the corner from Jackson Square.
