Re: Welcome to Cambodia; tourist couple robbed on arrival
they should sell those jow's bike and give the proceeds to the couple and let the assholes walk from now on.... I do wonder if the tuk tuk was sent by the guesthouse to collect them and was in on it....seems odd that a tuk tuk drives you to the door of your guesthouse which is presumably well lit on 63 then two little thieves appear outta the blue at 1am and snatch a bag ...
Re: Welcome to Cambodia; tourist couple robbed on arrival
First question to be asked....did the tuk tuk driver make any phone calls immediately after picking them up?
Milk was a bad choice

Silence, exile, and cunning.
