Re: Something big will happen in September/October 2015

These people thrive on rumour-mongering and creating false situations. War in Iraq - petrol goes up. No war in Iraq - petrol goes up. Middle east tensions - petrol goes down, ISIS, ISIL, etc, petrol at 15 year low. You're being played, people, Schmucklsteiner, Goldman, Diamond, Ballsachs and Partne...

Re: Something big will happen in September/October 2015

you have to give at least some credit to the views of a person who sold his company for $240 million?

Re: ASEAN Multi-Country Tourist Visa Continues to be Discuss

They launched a dual Thai-Cambodian visa a few years back... nobody got them. You still had to pay on arrival in Cambodia and it only allowed for single-entry into each country (not much use for people entering Cambodia with the intent to go back to Thailand and fly home).

Re: Russian murdered and tossed into creek near Otress Beach

I don’t live in Cambodia (I’m next door in Thailand ) but over the past 12 years I have visited Sihanoukville many times. I used to like it so much that 7 to 8 years ago I came close to moving there to live. So as an outsider this might sound like a naive question but what kind of activities could t...

Re: Chinese woman tourist had her phone snatched

Easy money, little law enforcement, buy your way out, good, quick rewards, not many reasons not to do it for most. I'm just surprised it's not way worse.

Re: crime in sihanoukville

Even as far back as 2007 I noticed there has never seemed to be much of a police presence around sihanoukville . Do they have sufficient police resources to tackle these problems as they grow worse which I am very sure they will as the global economic situation continues to deteriorate slowly but su...
