Barang Dresses Up as Santa Claus & Spreads Christmas Cheer in the Cambodian Countryside

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.

Jesus, you lot are tough to please.

This guy took time out of his Christmas morning and did something nice for the people. Why can’t you just let it go.....

For those complaining about the flip flops and open shirt (while I agree the open shirt is a bit weird) I would like to see you walk around in that suit for a while. Must be hot AF, especially with the beard and hat.

Simple reasons,,,,, because you can.

Today I want to drive through a red traffic light and park on the footpath,,,, because I can.


Now what are you going to do ?
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Yes. But they don't always blame it on their God.

whilst the guy probly meant well , if he had read up on the history of barangs handing out goods to small children in cambodia he may have reassessed his actions.
