Cambodia Man Bought Food For a Hungry Australian Vagabond

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Cambodia Man Bought Food For a Hungry Australian Vagabond

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

He is Australian. I asked him if he already had eaten something. He said not yet. So, I bought rice and water for him as he looked really hungry. #Australia Embassy, please help him.

Translation
He might be lazy to go back to Australia to get his pension, that why he decided to live rough in Cambodia. Then, some Cambodia tried to follow each other by buying foods for these foreigners . Like this man bought Luk Lak and rice which is cost about from 10000 riel to 15000 riel and they forgot about those elder Cambodians walking and dying on the road. No one gave them money and they didn't even buy a bread which is cost about 1500 riel to them, for 15000 riel, he could at least get 15 breads for those elder people.

^^ While you may be able to buy Lok Lak 'from 10000 riel to 15000 riel', that is not one of them. That one may be about 6-7000 riel at best.

The sums on the number of breads that can be bought for 15000 riel at 1500 riel each just don't add up.

Also, it wouldn't look so good on Facebook posting a picture of you giving a plain small baguette to some barang who got drunk and lost. He doesn't look that much like a vagabond. His clothes are pretty clean and smart enough.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Why is it news now, because it was posted on the other forum?

Some people like to criticize others, but they never help anyone. To me if I help anyone, it just makes me happy. I don't need to tell the world.

I think Samouth did a similar photo montage when he offered stranded Westerners a ride somewhere.

Holy shit, it's this guy! ! !

http://CambodiaExpatsOnline.com/newswor ... t7550.html

2 weeks ago the guy is an English teacher trying to jump off a roof, and now he's living on the streets and looking so rough that locals are giving him food.

To be fair, he got out of teaching, which is only a dream for some.
