Attack at Naga House - Kampot

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I always suspected Kampot had a touch of Royston Vasey about it.

Remember if you read it on CEO, it COULD be true

Glad someone got the reference.

There is definitely one Hilary Briss and one Les McQueen here ;)

Unless you were actually there.

Mmm, damage control?

Tbf we've heard from stramash telling us the other side..but one voice does not make it fact.

Stramash, are you in any way connected to the club/place in question? Owner/management?

Stramash, are you in any way connected to the club/place in question? Owner/management?

I was the DJ on Saturday. We followed our usual procedure:

1. Turn it down a little from around midnight
2. 1st complaint - turn down further and turn bass down a lot
3. 2nd complaint - turn down a little more.
4. If there is a 3rd complaint, then PA system is turned off.

On Saturday, we did get to #4, and the decks and PA were turned off at 1.05am. From then, music was only from the small speakers behind bar (which have never ever led to a complaint)

I left at just after 2am, and there was no trouble at that point, nor any looking likely.

Having spoken to 3 folk who were still there, none of them knew of any incident till after it was over. The OP made it sound like the place was besieged. The truth seems to be that a local who was a customer there had a dispute with other locals. Whether that dispute was pre-existing or a new one, I have no idea.

The owners and management know we have to listen to complaints and react accordingly, and do so every time.

And sometimes they may be the exaggerated experiences of a drunk person :)
