Group of 7 Tourists from France Robbed in Phnom Penh; French Lady Receives Head Injury
Re: Group of 7 Tourists from France Robbed in Phnom Penh; French Lady Receives Head Injury
Dash cam? unusual in a Khmer car unless it was possibly police or reporters. If it was a barang I doubt he would hang around. We really need a fund to pay for a spy in the police. In Thailand a guy got a medal from local police chief for doing this. he did a proper job. broke the guys leg and they filmed him writhing on the ground

Driven around Phnom penh lately? Probably 50% of late model cars has one, 50% of 10 year old Lexus have them, including the cheapo rear cameras (some for reverse, but lots have dual channel cameras if you look closely) , and half the old banger camry / carollas have them.pczz wrote:Dash cam? unusual in a Khmer car unless it was possibly police or reporters.

They start around $30, and probably more valuable than insurance.

Surprised we aren't seeing more car crash videos from Cambodia, if dash cams are so prevalent? This is the second video I've seen from Phnom Penh of a dash cam driver chasing and running down jaos, though

That was nasty the way they just yanked her by her bag and how she got thrown across the road. The driver wiping them out was classic. I'm surprised anyone would try a robbery around there, there's Gendarmerie station right on that roundabout and going a bit west there's an even heavier security presence.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I don't know about PP but virtually all of my Khmer friends have dash cams in their cars.

There’s quite a few in SHV but mainly on Chinese cars - which is ironic when you think about it.
They sell cheap ones at Caminco insurance in SHV.
I’ve got one but then I’ve been using them for about 10 years.
