Why Are There So many Old White Men in 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.

When it comes to sex tourism, why is the white man always emphasized?
At the time that Svay Pak was still open, a white man with a motodop went there.
Asian text tourists were delivered there with a luxury touring bus, sometimes 2 or 3 buses in a day.
There are people who cannot imagine that there are other ways of life than their own life. :facepalm:

protestant prudism
Also white women demonize it, because it's competition, lowering the value of sex

I think Angeles City on the Philippines is much worse.
Yeah, both have a big sex industry but Angeles doesn't attract the family tourist types, no beach and not a lot of tourist amenities eg good and varied restaurants etc. What else is there to do in Angeles? I think there's a Mt Pinatubo tour and not much else.

If you thought of Phnom Penh as just the riverside and a few adjoining streets like 104/ 136/ 172 and maybe that central part of Pasteur I can see how one might get that idea, there are many elderly people out for lunch/ beers. Most of us have other things to do in the afternoon. The article was ridiculous in its generalizations. It basically just stated that any white male over a certain age (30?) was only here to exploit young women. She threw in a load of old data and tales to back that up.

Anyway, going by her own logic -
Many of the young people of her demographic who visit places such as Koh Wrong and Phnom Penh etc are into recreational drugs/ narcotics. Some of them die or lose their minds. Therefore this blogger is probably a narcotics dealer who has ruined countless lives.

Has the article been removed? I can't access it anymore.
