I think that was the one arguing with a couple of big africans at 2 am outside my room over 500 riel. Exhausted afte an hour of it . over 500 riel. He must be exhausted. This big pair do it every night. Nothing a small Khmer can do. But I live in hope that one day 20 passaps will turn up and kick these tight arses. There are so many of them now I think I am in little Lagos

From the look of him drinking the water he doesn't appear to be drunk. Maybe heat exhaustion or blood sugar issues?

Could be heatstroke or just fatigue... sitting in a metal can and wearing a sweater like this.

What's the benefit of wearing a hooded sweater at midday in Phnom Penh anyways?

Have been brainwashed by cambodians who swear by it. I'd be in my boxers and sandals in the hot sun, if
only it's allowed.

There's so little humidity, that any sweat evaporates in minutes.

Hope he's feeling better.
