No life jackets

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

It's not quite clear how life jackets would help. It doesn't appear that drowning is the primary problem.

Use this "no life" jacket. Pull the cord on falling in the water. The explosion will kill the surrounding crocs. You miss the trauma of drowning and being savaged and get the satisfaction of knowing the crocs wont eat you :D

Heh. Just amazing what tourists will do sometime because, well, tourists.

The photo would appear to be from @RichardBarrow's twitter feed:

Which appears to have first come to his attention here:
