Last time I was there, just before Xmas, the vibe got really freaky, everyone literally tripping, acting insane and violence perculating Me and my other moved outside and watched as a girl was passing out drunk. Her drunk friend, also female, came over to help but them tried making out with her, so dod some other backpackers.

I bailed and went back to happy pizza to have a beer and burn one.

Very strange place indeed.

Then I guess robbing or raping somebody is a "damn good reason to do so." Let's not pretend that our Khmer hosts are a bunch of angels. This country has a serious ice problem and a population of men with a very short fuse. Combine that with alcohol intoxication and cultural issues surrounding "loss of face" and you have a recipe for some seriously stupid violence.

Wouldn't fancy my chances in the ring with the bird on the left.

I dont like all this violence carryon so Im going to add JJ s to my list of bars to never go in to. The other one on my list is the Garage Bar.

Did I say " DON'T"? I said " Dont' make a habit of" which would suggest that it isn't a regular occurrence. And it isn't.You seem to have missed the emphasis on " WITHOUT GOOD REASON TO" And that was my main point. Don't quote out of context mate. And for every incident you want to pull up about Shihanoukville, I will pull up 10 from similar tourist based towns in Australia that will show it really is a lot safer here ,then say for example, The Gold Coast or Byron Bay ( and I'm sure with just a little resaerch I could do the same for tourist towns anywhere in the world). Sensationalising this is bullshit and if you don't realise that then you are either ignorant or just another fukn troll. Either way, you obviously have no fukn idea about Sihanoukville. Yes, its a tough town, most tourist towns are. Act like a fukwit, you will be in trouble, sometimes very bad trouble. Show respect, keep your shit together and you PROBABLY won't have any problems.

here here mate!

It's a meeting of locals and tourists consuming drugs/drink in a poor environment unable to control their behaviour. Not what I understand as tough or an idyllic beach location.
