Opiates and Cambodia

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!

Boueng Trabek is where the junkies hang out. It's a total dump, looks like one of those slums over the water in Mumbai.

That.
Finding drug users in Cambodia has never been an issue but keeping them at bay is sometimes a problem.

The only things I liked about 172 were the little bar that sells cheap Cambodia just before you reach Wat Onalom (mainly because it does a great job of screening off the rest of the street and having decent(ish) beer), the food at Chat and Chew, the breakfast at Dolce Vita (with pretty decent coffee considering the horror of coffee offered everywhere else in that area), and... um no that's it. Blue Dolphin has the most variable quality control on earth, one night great food - the next night, you probably need to pack a sickbag.

I like the people who work in and run Sundance... but the clientele are awful in the main.

Find the old lakeside (not hard).

Stand for less than 5 seconds. Go with the one who seems the most legit using that inbuilt smacky-sense. Get itchy and gouchy. (So I've heard).

Or track down Nick, buy him a hit and he'll sort you out. Otherwise there's a poster on here called..... nah, don't go that route.
