Foreigners NOT Allowed in Sihanoukville Guesthouse (Keara)

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.

It's probably a brothel, man. If you call the cops, guess who gets a problem ?

why on earth would you report it to the police? Do you think it's a crime in Cambodia to not allow foreigners in your place of business?

It's probably the meth-addicted skank you took with you that they objected to. I know many people who have stayed there without a problem.

Sad to say, but yes sometimes a guesthouse just doesn't want your custom for whatever reason. "Khmer only" could be their way of refusing you politely ?
(Definitely a racist excuse, but don't think the cops will be over-worried. Forget the cops.)
Find somewhere else. Why would you want to stay somewhere where they treat you like this?

You should definitely sue them. They owe you at least ten grand just for personal upset.

Sometimes it can be Khmer style and most of barang can't stand with noise. So better to stay where is your style.

i think maybe the owner was worried that he or she might not be able to communicate with the op in English, that's why he or she chose not to accommodate him.
