Security Cambodia

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.

Cambodia has a higher murder rate, higher assault rate, and higher property crime rate than LA. A lot of that is in Phnom Penh. And that's not even accounting for the fact that a lot of crime goes unreported/uninvestigated.

Especially dangerous for foreigners who talk on forums about coming to Cambodia with lots of money the mafia really uses the Internet for their intelligence gathering. :evil6: :O:

Not sure why you had to post it twice.

You are no longer a newbie and thus I will break it to you gently: you are obviously clueless (or a damn good Troll); evident by the 17 different business opportunities you have flaunted the last 14 days. You have no money to speak of, you have no clue about Cambodia and I think you would probably fail in France as well.

I suggest you follow the sage advice given by others here: take the money, get pissed and laid. You will lose it all but at least you will have a great story to tell.

I've only killed 2 people over business disputes here. Compare that to couple dozen in the States, and I think it's safer here.

Paying the Mafia is cheaper than paying taxes and you get more for your money.
