Slippery bathroom tiles strike again, Aussie lady teaching in Siem Reap hospitalized

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.

Also works for staircases, esp. metal outdoor ones in the rainy season.
Most old age pensioners with brains have sorted this problem out a long time ago. Nothing is better than a attractive bar-lady to join you in the shower to stop you slipping over.
hmm. This victim appears to be female. why would she want an attractive bar lady to join her in the shower, or do you know something we don't :stir:

So you dont believe in equal rights for woman ?
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Common injury for aging Westerners.

Two prominent folks died from slipping, that's the old owner OTOF, and the for er owner of Can by Publications, LTO.

Seems like a needless and ignominious way to die.

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.

Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

Yeah, right. :facepalm:

Neither of them slipped on slippery bathroom tiles. And neither of them I would consider 'aging'.

Ok, fine, gain some weight and some age and slide around on wet tiles or smooth flip flops in the rain if you want.

<shrug>

Cambodian health care, emergency services, and "preventative maintenance" are not things I'd rely on.
