Regardless of what your lease with the apartment owner says, if you're living in a condo you are also bound to their rules. You obviously broke the rules, and got caught, suck it up princess and find somewhere else to live, cause you haven't got a legal leg to stand on if you try fighting it.

I am looking for a condo and like the sound of block management who don't tolerate drunks turning up at 2am and skinny dipping in the pool with all the noise and the laughing and generally selfish "fuck them and their rules" mentality (which continues to this day with you trying to wriggle out of it with nonsense arguments about it not being a public space).

Be grateful you weren't arrested, and you faces are not in the 'Newsworthy' section for us all to laugh at.
We might get lucky when he settles into his new home though. So there's still hope.

Because I'm clueless on the matter.
Obviously.. skinny dipping in Cambodia?!
I'd get out of there asap, it's basically a deportable offense.

I never wear any clothes at home unless it gets cool...

Funny Cambodia. Across the road from me is a group of local-yokel Karaoke singers, making a real lot of noise some nights, even early mornings. I find it hard to believe he is a public school teacher.

So, while no one sees ya in the pool but a security cam, everyone around here has to put up with the awful maudlin ballads of this dopey mutt and his drunk hick friends... It's so awful and bad sounding that it's comical, of course. I can put in some earbuds. But would be much happier if he died suddenly from a cardiac...

What can ya do, when there are rules only for stupid things like bare skin in private, but none for public noise?

Their country, their rules. What you think is stupid might not be what Cambodians think is stupid.

The only people allowed to go around nude are mental people
- and that's not always for long! There have been a few around
over the years.
After a while they get rounded up and put in a re-education center.
Then you never see them again - possibly because they start putting
on clothes and blending in with the general population.

Do you have any stories about nude maniacs? I do. They aren't that good but if you post some I will tell these lame tales.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

There used to be regular items about foreigners getting naked and arrested. Some drug that was going around made them want to strip off, if I remember. Including a guy who stripped on riverside and stopped the traffic ?
(Not sure, it was a while back.) Don't drugs make people undress these days ?

I came back to my condo with my girlfriend and found that the door to the pool was still open, at the time of 2am we went skinny dipping.

I've just been informed by the building that it's indecent exposure (even though there was no one there) and I need to move out in a week. Is there any way I can fight this???

Now the landlord is separate and my contract is with him. They quoted article 249 of the Cambodian criminal code, no indecent exposure in a public place. But at 2am there was no one there, and I'm hoping I can argue it's not a public place as it's in the building.

I really just want to know what rights they have. Frankly if I start quoting laws and make things difficult they might just get bored, tell me not to do it again, and give me a slap on the wrist.

Can someone PLEASE give me some ammo to try and fight this?!? Because I'm clueless on the matter.

They're talking about taking legal action if I don't leave the building, which would be unfortunate.

Do I have rights to request the evidence? It was 2am with the lights off....I'm assuming they don't have evidence......but assumptions are famously bad ideas.
I feel your pain here. I had a similar experience a decade ago staying at the Sokha Beach resort in Sihanoukville. Skinny dipping at midnight with your girlfriend on Sokha beach is basicly frowned upon. I was told to move out the following day.

I guess other rules apply in KOW than in Europe.

Anyway, thrown out we moved on to the Mealy Chenda on the hill. No problems with nudity there!

So my advice to You is to get a better living arrangement with more like minded people.

Well, I have gone skinny at Otres 4, nobody around, and at 4K beach on Koh Rong, nobody but me and a long lost friend...

Just have to find a remote and empty place...

Or, carefully slip your trunks off once in the water... Put them on your arm, if you are paranoid about the thought police...

(How about Thailand? Is this sort of terrible behavior tolerated?)
