VIP mistresses - a dangerous game.

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.

I have read the book of Mr. Kong Bun Chhuen about her story. He wrote that she didn't know he was a high rank officer, but she saw him on TV. I don't know if what all he wrote was true or not, but it was very interesting story.

When you have a culture in which the wife is going to get next to nothing in a divorce and no other man is going to touch her because she's "damaged goods" and which will leave her broke and miserable... you can bet she'll kill or maim to protect herself and her children.
I think a lot of what you say is true, but I believe they do care about it more than that. As long as it's kept secret it's probably ok, and the wife probably doesn't mind her husband going to KTV's/ massage parlors etc for some short-time fun. It's when her husband has some special other who he sees too regularly, sets up in an apartment, lavishes with gifts etc that the jealousy sets in. I don't think there necessarily needs to be talk of divorce - when the gossip starts getting back to the wife all hell can break loose.
I don't know about what it's called in Cambodia but in China it's the shiao/xiao san or er nai (both of which roughly translate as "second wife"), in Thailand the mia noi ("little wife"). Mistresses are enshrined in Asian culture and it's pretty much expected that you take the first wife as a familial match when you're a small fish in a big pond; she's not that hot but she manages your home and gives you children. Then as you become a bigger fish - you take a mistress. Across the region the rule is simple, the mistress does not go where the wife goes, ever but she does go to business meetings, etc. so that the wife doesn't

. Seriously, I find the whole phenomenon quite fascinating and have talked to several "hi-so" Khmer wives who know about their husband's mistresses and are fine with the idea.



Reversing the situation, how many Khmer men have you talked to that know their wives have a boyfriend and go along with the situation. It's probable quite common in the motodop/tuk-tuk situation where the wife works in a bar.

Just asking for a friend of mine.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Wherever you find hookers, you'll find men willing to leach off them - it's not like this is a unique situation to Cambodia. In the West those guys would be pimps and earn their money; in Asia - it's an expectation. I know an awful lot of hookers who won't fuck locals because of that - they figure that if they earn, it's their cash. I can't really disagree with that either.
