How to identify a hippy ?

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.

I've heard you used to be a bit of a hippy on the side.

Sure, it states it's a 1979 law which may not have been used much, but the figures have clearly been adjusted for inflation and reflect what others have reported - as in you need to show 20,000 baht if you look like a bum or someone abusing the visa system.

Here's the rough jist of it:

Hippies aren't dead, they just smell funny.
I kinda miss the smell of wet afghan and patchouli.

ur link is 2009
lots of changes since then :beer3:

The 20,000 baht has been in the books much longer than that but NEVER been enforced
i was never a hippie, ( was at golden gate park in the summer of love 1967-- has it really been 50 years!!!) but was called a freak
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Yeah, a 2009 link about a 1979 law which is still enforceable.
The OP's picture clearly shows that stick-it notes or paper
have been put on the old notice showing updated prices.

One thing that we might have overlooked about
this 1979 law is that it was passed just a month
after the Vietnamese took Phnom Penh.
A huge number of Cambodian refugees
arrived at the Thai border around then.
So it's got little to do with hippies
and a lot to do with economics.

Funny how they call outsiders "aliens" on that link.
