The single most inappropriate, unreasonable, and offensive thing you can say to a Khmer person is...

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.

Don't know but a couple of months ago put a Thai girl's shoe on her head the day she'd travelled 3 hours and back to visit a holy temple.

That wasn't a great move so far as my romantic aspirations were concerned.

It wasn't meant to be offensive, I had just taken her shoes off to give her another foot massage, didn't want to drop her shoes on the floor and was looking for somewhere to put them when I did it as a 'joke' without thinking.

I was profusely apologetic when I realised what I'd done, but she wasn't happy, understandably.

I once asked a lady, in her forties, if she was from Vietnam.
She went ballistic, verbally, on me.

Me no Vietnam, me Cambodia. No f…… Vietnam, me f…….. hate Vietnam. Me Cambodia.

This went on for a minute or so.
The irony is that I know many people who have known here for many years and she is, indeed, from Vietnam.

Go figure.
