I've heard it commonly said that in Cambodia it's easy for an expat to pay to have someone beaten up.

Has it ever actually happened?

Has anyone here ever actually heard from any reliable source that a specific expat paid to have a specific person beaten up and that the beating then occurred?

What's the going rate to give someone a beat down?

I doubt if a westerner would succeed in hiring Cambodians to beat another westerner up.They would take his money and avoid him as long as possible.If he attempted to recover the money they would simply threaten to go to the authorities or tell the guy who they had been paid to beat up about it.

In Cambodia, police are some of the lowest paid workers in the country, making so little that it’s impossible to support a family on salary alone. Therefore, they supplement their income...

If you've got an issue with someone be a man and confront them face to face, if it cant be sorted amicably and comes to fisticuffs then at least have the balls to do it yourself, make it a fair fight, one on one.
If you are 5ft tall, 70 years old and the twat cauing you hell is 25 year old bodybuilder then paying someone to do the dirty work is not cowardly, its sensible. Only a fool starts a fight they have no chance of winning, a fact bullies everywhere rely on. An enforcer just makes thing fairer

That's kind of the sort of thing I was thinking. I can see several situations where the paid beating would seem fair enough. If the person you're dealing with is simply unbeatable through legal means(not that fighting is legal, but hitting someone with a bat will really get you in trouble), and genuinely deserves it(you've tried calmly talking it out, but they're an ape-brained, mouth breathing, aggressive asshole), then why not pay a thug to take care of it? The issue, I'd think, would be the whole "where do you find a thug" thing. How do you even go about something like that?

Working in bars for years, I've seen a couple big guys who have completely been the aggressors and attacked smaller people who probably stood no chance. There was a piece of shit who came to a bar I used to work at and started fights a couple times(then banned, of course). The guy was a bit over 6', built, and liked to fight. Had I been one of the people he decided to attack, I bet he would have kicked my ass. I'm glad I've never been in a situation like that, but if I were, I wouldn't be beyond paying someone to help me out with beating up some drunken nut-job who attacked me. If it's a fair fight, and you both want to fight, then by All means do it. That I see as the gentlemanly thing to do. But sometimes I think it would be good to rely on brain over brawn.

Luckily these ape-brained assholes are pretty rare, in my experience. As long as you use your brain, I don't think most people ever end up in really serious situations.
Do you think the parents of baby boomers whined so much when the boomers started changing society? And yet the whiney ones like to call young people "snowflakes." Hmm...
