Kampot Barang Lucky to Survive Encounter with Jihadi Cigarette Lighter

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.

Kampot Barang Lucky to Survive Encounter with Jihadi Cigarette Lighter

Post by prahocalypse now »

A barang in Kampot tried to light a cigarette and the cigarette lighter exploded in his face.

The barang Gee Jay probably only has himself to blame for drawing the attention of Jihadis because he has a photo of a goat as his facebook profile picture.

From the Kampot noticeboard:
Gee Jay


DO NOT BUY THESE LIGHTERS --> i bought this brand for the first time yesterday --> a full one EXPLODED in my face --> i was not burned, but i am very lucky that i wear glasses --> these are "made in kampuchea" and are probably sold in many shops = CAVEAT EMPTOR...!

I’ve had that happen. Was funny to watch everyone in the bar shit themselves at the noise.

Would have been more funny if I didn’t realize a few seconds later a bit of the exploded plastic had sliced my leg open.

Give it six months and the cheapo plastic lighter will have become a hand grenade, the bulletproof vest saved him from being maimed, and the bargirls present will have morphed into battle-hardened KR.

It never happened, please stop your gossiping about the fine upstanding foreigner community of Kampot.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
