Sokkhim Chen

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.

Sokkhim Chen

Post by Sambodia »

Long time lurker here, making first post. Just found out my long-time tuk-tuk, friend, chemist in PP Sokkhim Chen passed. Did anybody else know him by chance? When I first met him it was by lakeside in 2010, he later would hang out at st 178 and riverside. RIP

Below is his FB for reference

RIP to your friend. I don't know him, but he seems awfully young to die.

Thanks friend, yes its tragic and he was too young, he also leaves behind 2 young children. He was a talented and great guy who struggled with mental health and substance issues like many young/poor khmer of his generation

Wow, what a beautiful and moving tribute. Thank you for sharing, Cambodian Charioteer indeed. These are very tough times for Tuk Tuk drivers in Phnom Penh (and just about everyone else in the world), so important to remember them and try to help as best we can.
