Koh Wrong- again (foreigners attacked)

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.

Schrodinger's Dog could you update how it went?

By chance I was looking today and discovered that broken heard is closed and, well all of that pain...

The owner was special guy, and special guy are not frequent, I would like to know how he is and if he came back to Cambodia again.

I bet that the Canadian will not only remember the place every time he looks in his toe.

Take care all

A lot of these islands are the SE Asian equivalent of the Deliverance hick town in the middle of the bayou. They're a fiefdom for the local chief's family with little to no outside police presence and a whole lot of poor young fishermen who are all related. This creates an issue when you're swarmed with thousands of wealthy foreigners; will you side with the tourists and keep them coming, or side with the locals because the accused is likely a brother, or a cousin, or whatever and the whole community will be upset? Or do you just cover it up?

i think the khmers down in Kampot are some of the best ive come across, even when i was driving out off road in the boonies through villages most people would be calling out and waving and saying hello was really nice

Very astute comment, and as it's generally the case throughout the region I now tend to avoid travelling to touristed islands.
