Otres Corner Bar (The Last Hippie Standing) in Sihanoukville Has Racist Policy Banning Cambodians From Entering

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.

Note that in front of certain bar/restaurants in Thailand and elsewhere there are signs saying "No Russians Allowed". Not yet seen that in Cambodia.
Otres Corner Bar should just learn something from this and move on.
:P
Not that I would ever run a bar, I'm far too misanthropic for such a thing, but it has occurred to me if I ever did it would operate on an eponymous principle. I'd call it The Passport Bar.

Tight security and a strict door policy. No showing of passport, no entry. Come back with your passport. Showing of certain nations passports, absolutely no fucking entry. Don't bother coming back. Come and enjoy a nice evening with no Russians, Israelis etc at all in there. I might have a "Probation Area" for certain nationalities to be prospective customers of the nice people area. If they spend a few nights there and demonstrate they are decent, then they can have a temporary visitors visa in their passport for the main area.

It goes without saying that rope-haired, backpacker, fisherman trousered young fuckos have no chance, regardless of nationality. Not one of the cunts in the photos of the bar this OP is about, or anyone remotely like them, would even get as far as pulling their grubby passport out. :nono:
I think you're wrong.

With an attitude like that you would fit in well with many of the expat bar owners i have met down there.
I think it's just a case of - now i own a bar, i can at last only have the people i want drinking in it. They don't​ seem to last that long really, so perhaps you made a wise choice about running a bar.
See crook!!!

This has nothing to do with French/France. Try what that bastard is doing in France. You wont make it through the first day without authorities closing the place down and taking you in.

Kazakh. Is he a citizen? If so he can be as Russian or Ukrainian as anyone in those states. Lots of Russians stayed behind (If that word can be correct) after the end of the USSR. On the other hand the idea that racism is a western privilege is a bid baseless. Thais can be very good at it. It is the only country I know where the people greet each other with the equivalent of the German "Heil!". Even in Germany that got out of fashion a long time ago, me thinks.

In how far a bunch of weed smoking people are supposedly leftist I dont get. They might talk in a liberal/narcissist way but that's all. The argument on the fb page was that they like the place and that's most important. Nothing leftist with that. 150 years earlier that would have been opium smoking lower officials at some British trading post in China.

I noticed Otres Corner Bar Last Hippie Standing in Sihanoukville has a Facebook ad running. There have already been 3 comments giving them shit about not letting Asians in.

I'm more worried I won't get past Face Control.



And for what it's worth, I've heard twice now that the owner is NOT racist, but not allowing locals in is the deal they cut with authorities to turn a blind eye to their "activities."

Kind of hard to believe that, because if that were the only reason for the ban on Asians, you'd think he'd have a better answer for it other than "we don't want the place filled with hookers and beggars."
"Life is too important to take seriously."

It's kind of ironic, because I remember quite a few places had unofficial policies like that in the old days.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
