barang treatment in the workplace

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.

Thanks for that public warning. I will avoid ********* bar.

For the record, you are more than welcome to tell us the name of the place. Otherwise there is nothing useful here.

I can't think of a single bar in Siem Reap where the Western staff are subordinate to Khmer staff. This guy must work for a genuine crap hole for that to be true.

Probably a backpacker working for peanuts in a backpacker bar but I stand to be corrected.

Yes, that is indeed peanuts......

Supposedly that long in Cambodia (though I do not know what the reference to Number 9 proves one way or another.) and that is all you make? Something went wrong......

Khieu Samphan: Brother Number Nine

Khieu Samphan studied economics in Paris and some of his theories on self-reliance were credited with inspiring Khmer Rouge economic policies. During the Sihanouk years of the 1960s, Khieu Samphan spent several years working with the Sangkum government and putting his more moderate theories to the test. During a crackdown on leftists in 1967, he fled to the jungle to join Pol Pot and Ieng Sary. During the DK period, he was made head of state from 1976 to 1979. He is currently on trial as one of the accused in Case 002.
