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.

Some comments about this video on Facebook, and I don't know why, but the first one cracks me up:

"They take my money take my passport take my past tense.





He is a junkie, walks past my house once a week, use to give him money, then when changed to food, he refused it.
"
"Life is too important to take seriously."

"Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh."

When we take visitors from overseas out to the zoo (which, admittedly, has lost it's charm for us) we prepare for Beggars Lane by making up bags of rice for the visitors to give to the beggars, and then we tell them to watch the responses they get as they hand them out. Instant lesson in responding to poverty in the developing world.
