Oh thanks! I will ask you for some advice before I go there.Samouth wrote:Little salary. Don't be scared for going to Koh Romg. You will be fine. If you don't like partying just don't stay at any hostels owns by barang. There are plenty of hostels own by villagers in Koh Touch.

Re: British and German Men Arrested for Expired Visas, Koh R
Well, this two guys didn't do any harm to anyone. Of course it's there own fault in the end, but they haven't been dangerous to anyone on Koh Rong. The slim guy was actually teaching yoga at long beach and giving massages, don't know what the other one did lately.
Of course it's positive that the police is finally showing themselves at Koh Rong. But especially at Long Beach it scares the shit out of many customers, seeing 20 policemen with AK47 staring grimmly at them and walking around like there's going to be a war. So it also has a downside for the business there.

It's great to see all these foreigners getting deported for overstaying their visas lately, because these are the people who are gonna eventually f**k up the ease of getting them. There really is no excuse for overstaying your visa, they are extremely cheap and easy to extend, if people cannot afford to or are too irresponsible to remember to renew their visa then good riddance I say...laters!
Re: British and German Men Arrested for Expired Visas, Koh R
It doesn't make any differences even though they both are good people. They didn't caused any problems to people surrounding, however they were doing something against Cambodia's law. I guess if they were in Thailand or Vietnam, they would face the same fate.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។
If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Re: British and German Men Arrested for Expired Visas, Koh R
I just wanted to say, that these two guys are not violent and haven't been causing any problems regarding this.
As I said: It's completely there own fault. Wasn't about to defend them in some way. Personally, I couldn't care less if they're deported now or end up in prison until the money part is sorted out, as none of them is my friend or whatever. Just saw them there couple of times, spoke to them and that's it.

Re: British and German Men Arrested for Expired Visas, Koh R
I agree completely. I'm sure anyone with access to resources (steady income, bank account, etc) isn't getting kicked out over an accidental overstay. rather, it seems to be focused on the people who can't afford to renew them. I'm not going to judge them, but the bottom line is you're almost always better off broke in your own country than broke in Cambodia. There's no state apparatus to help you out of poverty here, so what is the eventual path forward for these guys? Crime is the only answer. Better to avoid that outcome and to get them the help they need. Win-win, I say.PSD-Kiwi wrote:It's great to see all these foreigners getting deported for overstaying their visas lately, because these are the people who are gonna eventually f**k up the ease of getting them.

They are lucky that can stay in Cambodia via buying visa, but I think Cambodians are difficult when we apply visa to your country.Samouth wrote:It doesn't make any differences even though they both are good people.

Re: British and German Men Arrested for Expired Visas, Koh R
Slightly off topic, but I heard a sneaky rumour that overstay fines have gone up to $10 per day now. I've only heard it from one source so hopefully not true and just some scare-mongering.
