Orange Dragon

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.

Come on gentlemen. There is another forum that encourages that kind of crap if you just want to get online to be a dickhead.

Name and shame them.

On my last two or even three trips through Phnom Penh, it was painfully obvious that Trashpats had somehow arrived at PP airport through dumb luck, did a perfectly timed face-plant before the immigration Wait Here line, slid on their own drool past the immigration officers and found themselves nose-first in last night's garbage remnants on St. 172.

Are these the ones that say stuff like, "Tee Nee", "Py Nai", "Py Laew" at Pochentoeng and expect everyone to stand in awe at their impeccable Thai, which no one understands?

You'd be amazed at the amount of khmers that understand thai.

Very few of the trash pats, i assume ur refering to the worst of pattaya trash, speak more than 10 words of thai that even a thai finds hard to understand lol

Indeed. In the bars, too. Suddenly I hear "suway mahk mahk" and I want to puke.

True, many have a smattering of Thai. But what an insult to Cambodians when these bozos bring Thai to Cambodia. It's like the French who think they're speaking the World's Only Language and expect everyone to understand. (I've got so many examples of this in Thailand.) (I was referencing ot mien kampf's: ". . .3rd Class - trash bottomfeeders who fell off the very bottom of the Thai expat scene.") So, yeah.

Have to agree 100% about the french. Here they get really upset at the thai staff when they dont understand their fench. So what to they do ?
They speak french Louder at them !!

I recall after spening 2 years in Zaire, teaching in french and thinking , wow cool, i can go to paris and fit in.
So after trying to start a few conversations with people and having them look at me like i was from mars and than replying to me in bad english,
i sore Never to speak it again!!!

Many people seem to have a strong opinion about you, so you must have left some kind of impression on all of them. Cheers. :beer3:
