Re: It’s getting worse in the provinces
I'm becoming a bit concerned about all these reports from the provinces the OP is getting from his estranged bride. One day it's that it's apparently okay for him to have another lover as he lives so far away, and it was implied that this would be reciprocal. Then there was the false pregnancy test "joke", and now it seems like they have suddenly discovered crystal meth in the boonies. Am I the only person who sees these all as rather ominous? When the cat's away the mice can play. I fear for this naive chap.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: It’s getting worse in the provinces
There was the very in-depth article about the meth trade in reuters - https://www.reuters.com/investigates/sp ... syndicate/John Bingham wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 8:05 pmUnverifiable then so basically just hearsay and nonsense.cptrelentless wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 7:49 pmIt was in an article about four or five years ago. I could search my history and maybe find when, but I can't really be arsed.John Bingham wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 10:09 amWhere are you getting that 60% figure from? I can only remember one meth lab ever being found here, and as far as I know nearly all of it comes from China/ Myanmar.cptrelentless wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 3:54 am Cambodia makes 60% of its own meth, so drugs are an all pervading thing. It's about wealth gaps, really. If you have large-scale disenfranchisement and a significant gap in the distribution of wealth you will always have violence and instability. cf Brazil, South Africa, Angola, Chile, Argentina etc etc. Unless there are polices for the more equal distribution of wealth then life will get cheaper, not more respected.
As for the OP, as others have said, drugs in rural areas are nothing new.
the majority is made in Myanmar.
I would find the figure for home production t 60% high and i cannot find anything from UNODC or NACD suggesting it is although it is highlighted here as a major trafficking and processing place but not priduction https://vodenglish.news/drug-processing ... cials-say/

How about Siem Reap province?taabarang wrote:Yeah New Kid, UT raises some valid points, not the least of which is your failure to name the province. The bucolic splendor of rural Cambodia is frequently subject to exageration. Recently in Tbong Khum we have had a

Thanks for everyone’s concern about my well-being.
Missus likes to contrast what’s normally expected of other Khmer girls do (especially with a foreigner partner) with what she does.

I hate to break it to you but I certainly don't give a flying about your well being because you come across as a right prick who looks down on everyone else.

I don't feel NKOTB is a prick at all.

Arrogance is about intent: its when ability (or perceived ability) is used to look down on others.Satiated Parrot wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 8:26 amI don't feel NKOTB is a prick at all.

Tactless synonyms include discourteous, uncivil and impolite, I have never seen him be any of these.
But we can agree on hopelessly naive.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
