Homeless Scotsman in Siem Reap GARY MORENO Makes The News When Tourists Try To Help

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.

because he has no money, so there is no financial benefit to them.
who knows, maybe they feel sorry for him.

But, you are right. In recent months we seem to have attracted the final dregs, who never really wanted to be part of CEO, but have begrudgingly abandoned that sinking ship. Sadly, they have brought their 440 ways with them. Lots of baiting, flaming, trolling, one-upmanship, not to mention the tall tales of BS.

Time we started to rein them in I think.
Please PM any of the Mods here a copy of the names that you have foed recently. I'll bet they are probably already on 'the list'.

Siem Reap: A Cambodian man, Thon Mengheang, has posted on social media about the plight of a British homeless man from Liverpool (?) named Gary Moreno who has been in Siem Reap for three years.
Image
He lost his passport, and has become a homeless man. He would like to return to his home town in the UK, and requests the British Embassy of Cambodia for help.
For the time being Gary is living in Svay Pagoda in Siem Reap, where he is housed and fed. The British Embassy, or his family, can contact him there.

You can be a pretty decent moderator at times, as long as you're not protecting your mates. For instance, i agree with most of what you wrote above.

Yes, but what about Gary ? I thought that after that last international media outburst about 'Gary, Homeless Brit in Cambodia', that he was going home ?
But from the latest report, it looks like he's still stuck in Siem Reap, and he looks even worse than before. :(

It's possible that he says to kind souls who want to help that he wants to go home, but he doesn't really. In which case,can you force him ? He probably has no visa, but no one even wants to arrest him it seems.

That's a lie.

Gary cannot afford his meds, who are you to tell the people about his condition?

Are you a doctor?
I'm a brain surgeon, and qualified psychiatrist of international repute.

I agree with L'Alegrino's diagnosis.

Next question?

I'm 99.9% certain this is our good ol' friend, Gary Moreno, the homeless Scotsman from Siem Reap who tourists keep trying to force their unwanted help upon.

Looks like he was in the mood for a vacation, and was headed to Thailand from Poipet, but passed out and didn't make it across the border:

Bonteay Meanchey: On February 9, an unidentified homeless foreigner (likely Garry Moreno) collapsed of physical disease near casino in Poipet.

Before the incident, the homeless foreigner was walking on the street without shoes . There was a girl who saw him and had pity on him, so she gave her shoes and 200 Baht to him.

The immigration police tried to help take the homeless man to shower and put medicine for ulcers on his arms and legs.
The victim seemed like he had amnesia or something, and the authorities were unable to question him yet, and they are not sure who he is or how he originally entered Cambodia.

What a miserable, slow fade out. The limping Gollum of Cambodia.
