Angry Western Vagrant Cooks Carrots & Threatens Stabbing on Street 172

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.

He has been living on the street for at least a year. Doesn’t seem to struggle for money too much. I believe is is Finnish (definitely Scandinavia).

Always has a new bottle or two of whisky everyday, normally a clean change of clothes, usually sits in a bar or on the street causing no issues.

Seems to be more of a drinking/mental health problem than a money problem imo.

I would expect there are many who were laid off at the beginning of all of this, thought they could survive on their meagre savings for a while until it was all sorted, couldn't get employment teaching online and are now starting to feel the full impact.

If his story is something similar to that he has my full sympathy.
You have brought some good points, nobody could have imagined this shit would last this long and it's far from over sadly

I must be unlucky, because when I make my occasional visit to 172 to grab a burger and fries, I never see any interesting people, or activities.

:dragonchase: * Re show -- time clarification The ongoing freakshow /human realtime tragedy usually kicks off around 6 - 7 A M, as another episode begins with the oncoming light. This absurd ,Gonzo like performance usually crashes out 4. --5 AM the next morning .So yes its a near 23 hour " show ".A cross between " Breaking bad & Monty Python . :dragonchase: 2 I C . :dragonchase:
PS this welsh guy ? Aren't you confusing him with the beer gut Dutch booze fancier, the bloke with the brown beard and his loud ,mouthy ex bar girlfriend ,all skin & bones but a voice comparable to a high pitched foghorn ?,,.Their breakfast of choice is a six - PAC of Ankor beer ?.
And don't forget dear old Stephen, the genuine item when it comes to ( good hearted ) maniac . A Herman. man who remains relatively clean and polite when he is not having some manic periodic episode..

he is obviously an alcoholic and it must be annoying to locals that hes living in the street and making a disturbance outside their businesses but what can you do? I doubt he has money. drinks are the first thing people buy for people that are down and out. hes not the only one living in 172 and Im guessing there will be more before this recession is over

God knows what Cambodians must think every time they see westerners choosing to live like this in their country
There was a clean-shaven, blonde, well-dressed early 20-something guy selling dresses in our usually locked courtyard residence yesterday morning, like those Burmese guys walking around selling to bar girls. I was walking by quickly, so I couldn't hear if he was Scandanavian or Russian.
