Re: Old Barang with Krama in ATM Drama
Update: The foreigner has been identified in Khmer media as Leonard Anthony, a 63-year-old male expat from Australia, living at a rented house on Street 294, Boeung Keng Kang I Khan Chamkar Morn.
It appears that the man was violent toward the Maybank branch manager, because he was upset about the $5 service fee. As he may well be charged by the police, there should be more details on the incident later.

$5 service fee for what? ANZ requested a $1 "over the counter fee" from me ages ago and as difficult it was I didn't punch anybody.

Those khmer ATMs are retarded.
Some wont accept certain cards whilst others wont accept withdrawals over a certain amount.
Thai ATMs are way easier to operate.

Yeah, used to be free at Maybank for Visa, now $5. Not keeping up, obviously.
He should have tried Sathapana Bank instead.

How does the local press decide when to pixilate someone's face and when not to?

Re: Old Barang with Krama in ATM Drama
Funny that they always are in extreme rush when they have the chance to arrest a foreigner! For all other things especially when a foreigner has a complaint or issue they are always sleeping and tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow...next week next week... or extort or investigate you while you just come to report something..
I am often wondering if most foreigners even realise what they are in this country! Actually for me it is the same I am Mexican but I don't look hispanic enough I am European looking so they keep pestering me. I can tell you I am really not a stupid but they are doing things they would have lost their head 10 times already if they would do it in my country!
I am sure they gave this foreigner some sort of attitude and he just snapped!
most people in the banks are always super helpfull but I have seen a few times some khmers with an incredible attitude they would not even last an hour in my country!

Be careful amigo. I heard some banks now charge all Mexicans not $5 but $10, as there's a big wall to fund.
