Giving flowers to people is not common in Cambodian culture, and in general it's related to bad luck and death, so better beware.

Giving a watch to a girlfriend is not a good idea either. They think it is a "go away" present.

My wife had an afterthought on this topic. While her granny did indeed tell her to not climb frangipani trees because baisach lived there there was a practical non-mystical reason as well. My wife was warned that the branches were fragile and she could easily fall.

A lot of flowers for sale in markets and along the road are supposed to be placed in shrines/given to ghosts. To be safe, give roses to the living.

Thanks for all your help.

I think I'll just resort to a box of chocolates.

I bought my lady a lovely mixed bouquet a few months ago. She responded with a slight smile & asked me ''what's wrong, what did i do?''
Tried to explain that I thought I was being the thoughtful partner.. She says she no likes flowers.

Couple weeks later I bring some laRoucch or something like that chocolates with same intent.
Was a no go but I enjoyed them immensely.

The moral here is I just give her a $50 or so every now & then again & she does what ever she does.
Works for me & learning every day.
