Another Homeless Brit on Riverside in Phnom Penh, Cambodia Claiming To Have Lost Passport, Money, Etc (VIDEO)

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.

Well, he sounds British. Telling locals he needs money and the police won't help him.

He should get in touch with the British consular office at www.gofundme.com

The police won't help him ... what, exactly?

Well I think he said that he was robbed on the riverside and lost his money and passport and now the police won't help him. The part about the cops sounds plausible...

For some reason you see very few of these homeless Western tourist types anywhere else. SEA seems to attract them like flies to shit, so sadly I'm always a bit cautious about their spin on the story.

Ah, okay - I missed that entirely. Poor bugger doesn't look like a career bum. My father had PTSD issues and chose to spend a lot of his life like that - bit of a trigger for me.

I wonder if any part of that is because there are other/better mechanisms for caring for people in difficult circumstances elsewhere.

If anyone happens to run into him again ask him if he wants help connecting with his embassy - I can't give him cash but I'll give him some advocacy and see if we can't get him some help.

I don't think the fucker needs any help! He is doing exactly what he wants, and succeeding.

Yep, that's why I said "ask."
