Dangerously Overloaded Truck Freaks Out Cambodian Road Users

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.

10 - 15 years ago this was commonplace. The roof were the cheap seats and a whole bunch of people sat on top. I always wondered what would happen if the driver had to hit the breaks hard....

Saw a moto with a queen size mattress on the back today. I'm used to seeing fridges etc... the guy who delivered my washing machine didn't even have it tied on, just held it with his hand... but the mattress was a particularly good effort I thought, considering how wide it is.

Another greedy cunt...
