Hotdigr, you know of course that at some stage a Khmer guy/barang who will pay double your rent will simply take over your place and any lease will be laughed at, right? Be careful what you wish for.Hotdigr wrote:Already on the way to it GM! And the new head copper cracking down on beach bums and crims shows this is happening imo
Will you see it as an improvement then? I doubt it.
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right?

Re: American Beach Bum William Barron Arrested in Cambodia
Ha! ! ! This guy is growing on me! Seems he was able to get a SIM card in "prison," get online and take pics of that place. He is locked up with some Africans too.
So, he has managed to bribe the officials to let him out tomorrow and he's flying out to Vietnam, LoL. Says he paid $200 to be let go.
See, it's never too late to negotiate in Cambodia, LoL!
From his Facebook:
Live pictures from my cell in Phnom Penh. Bought a SIM card now I need to buy my freedom. Should be 1-2 more days over a visa overstay lost passport issue. Keep seeing shadow people at night and the Africans on my hall swear this place is haunted. Can't help but wonder if this was a place used by the khmer rouge for torture and murder during the genocide only 35 years ago. Thanks for all the support but much love to Courtney and Larry.
After hardballing with the director of the jail for hours I got him alone in a different office and he took a $200 bribe for "his boss" and let me buy a ticket to Vietnam tomorrow. Otherwise it looked like I could be here another week and miss my flight to Laos. Should be ok but of course I have no receipt only a handshake which the prick wouldnt even look me in the eye. Will see tmrw but things are looking good.
His friends ask if he's back to Prague, and he says no, he's headed to Vietnam and Nepal first, LoL. He also said he's coming back top Koh Rong next year.

Re: American Beach Bum William Barron Arrested in Cambodia
LOL Vlad. I'm to smart to "own" a lease down here mate. I'm just a "wage slave" as OD so succinctly put it and am quite happy to stay that way (for the time being).vladimir wrote:Hotdigr, you know of course that at some stage a Khmer guy/barang who will pay double your rent will simply take over your place and any lease will be laughed at, right?

I've stayed in shittier guesthouses in Penang, Malaysia, and I think the fuckers had the balls to call themselves a "hotel."

That's pretty cool looking Russian graffiti..

Re: American Beach Bum William Barron Arrested in Cambodia
He has posted on Facebook that his overstay was less than a month. He was in the process of extending his visa when he (or the visa company?) lost the passport. He then went to police station to report the passport lost, they promptly arrested him and put him in jail for five days until he bribed his way out for $200.
I mentioned this on the other forum, no one seems to care, but I personally think it's a big deal if police are now arresting and jailing foreigners for overstaying by less than a month.

I think you need to go back and read the OP before making a big deal out of it.Cam Nivag wrote:I mentioned this on the other forum, no one seems to care, but I personally think it's a big deal if police are now arresting and jailing foreigners for overstaying by less than a month.

There's a big difference between hippie tourist, Cam Nivag style tourist, and expats. Why should we care?
