Foreigner sleeping on road at Banlung intersection

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.

Dorms are fine for young people traveling alone.

Drinking buddies and sex on tap.

Not sure this thread pic counts for anything without context unless people just like to moan.

Back to the OP, my question is "Why is this guy lying/sleeping in the middle of the road (and not on the footpath)" ?
(They also have footpaths in Banlung.)

Did he get kicked out of somewhere on to the street because he was wasted, and then go to sleep where he landed ? Did he have a heart attack while crossing the road ? Is he homeless or just hopeless ? Is he still there ?
