Kiwi Man Mugged and Robbed in Cambodia, Needs Help

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.

If you come into KOW weak and expect to survive with your dole from your country its not likely you will make it, unfortunately for Paul he never had an ounce of luck since his arrival. He was prey for the wicked and the wicked are numerous and hungry for prey. I cannot help him anymore.
Its tough enough for us here.

I have mercy - sure - but dun bring the expats into disrepute.

There are many on here who strive hard against all the odds - dun be a libtard.

Send Paul home - its beyond his capabilities and his life is at stake

Owww Mish, don't look at it that way.
The bloke is doing us all a big favour.

We don't have to swagger around pretending we are god-kings any more.
That was a hard act to relentlessly maintain for those few short years before they woke up to the fact that we were just normal humans after all.

2 days!
Ok spill the beans..

I'm guessing not locked up - you woulda been partying in the clink for sure.
Two day meditation retreat. Good idea but probably not.
Boot camp? Maybe??... Nuh.
Gardening? Can't quite see it.
Not twitching - you would have got your exotic species mixed up and gone bird watching instead.

Are you saying he was a druggie with little money who came to Cambodia only to be 'targeted' by bad tuk tuk guys at the airport and subsequently robbed? Are you saying there was no connection between him being a druggie and getting targeted? Is that what you mean when you he say he didn't have an ounce of luck since his arrival coz he was preyed on by the wicked?

So he was robbed at the airport and another guy showed up to pretend to be his friend until the Kiwi had more money sent in, which was robbed again. And he just so happens to be a heroin addict trying to take a nice peaceful holiday in Cambodia. If they did not rob him he had budgeted out the perfect amount to be able to get his drugs and enjoy his holiday until his return flight. What horrible luck.

I'm not buying any of this shit. In my home city there are thousands of junkies wandering around making a nuisance of themselves. They use a disproportionate amount a lot of resources from the state, whether in benefits or medical care. They constantly approach you and interrupt when you're trying to have a drink and conversation with friends. They always have some BS story about how they are just down on their luck and need a cup of tea or a hostel for the night. I have no time for them. Chances are this guy put himself in danger by trying to score some smack as soon as he got here.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I can believe it.
End stage heroin addiction causes exactly this kind of bad luck.

How is is cranial situation? Still have 70-80% IQ?
(opioids do not cause brain damage, generally - but the substitution drugs and the lifestyle do, especially after many years)

The good news is; the psychology, the health, and the living situation can be repaired surprisingly well. Unlike with meth. And the luck can turn right around too..
IF, he gets the F*** back home before we find him dead.
