Is it creepy to sit alone outside riverside bars and restaurants?

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

I only walked a few blocks, and I counted 19 white dudes sitting alone at tables along with the riverside and of course zero white women.

I wish someone would make a pictorial coffee table book "dudes of the Riverside." Come on, most of them look really creepy and like life has beaten them down. Smoking, drinking beer a 10 a.m., wearing shorts and singlets, talking to street urchins, etc.

I eat alone at a lot of Riverside restaurants (Cadillac, Metro, Riverside Bistro, etc.) but I almost always eat inside, at the bar. It makes me feel superior. I don't want to be one of these outside-sitting guys.
***RANT BEGINS HERE*** This truly has to be one of the most asinine posts I've seen. What's it to you what those "white" guys do with themselves anyway? Are they bothering anyone? Just what is your idea of creepy anyway? If life has beaten down those old white dudes, it's because they worked their asses off their entire lives to raise a family or God knows what. They deserve, at this point in their lives, to do whatever they damn well please.

Personally, I haven't seen any large groupings of solo white women sitting around anywhere in SEA.

Fuckin' creepy is having to sit somewhere to feel a sense of superiority over others. Denigrating a group of people who have done you absolutely no harm is mighty superior to be sure. Have another Brawndo and think it over. ***RANT ENDS HERE***

Neo colonialism at it's finest. Fuck off back to the Raffles with Playboy and his fluffy bunnys and snort you Dom Perignon!

At what point in doing this, did you realise that your life must be really boring ? :)
To be honest, I think a waiter must have felt sorry for him and slipped some happiness into his coffee, not realising CN doesn't do happy too well. He does paranoia to a T though.

Glad I wasn't eating breakfast with my two teenaged mixed race son and daughter as you sauntered past. I'm certain you would have had a really creepy fantasy.
