Wild, Wild East: Gambling and Buddhism co-exist in harmony in Pailin

In referrence to the tittle of this poster:
I always used to hear Cambodian people saying this:

WE DEDICATE OURSELVES TO BUDDISM, BUT WE DRINK WINE, CUT TREES AND KILL ANIMALS. AFTER ALL WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS.
(( BON KOR THVEU, SRA KOR PHEUK, CHHEU KOR KAP, SATH KOR SOMLAP))
