Kampot Thieves Steal Brightly Colored Chip Shop

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.

What a bloody waste. That's great piece of work. Condolences to the owner.
I reckon off with the giant fries prop and a swift respray and she'll be in business in Snooky in no time

For what it’s worth, here’s another picture, the big apartment blocks might help the owner pinpoint the spot where the cart is parked/trading.

I can't wait for the 2-week tourists to turn up. Do they still carry a selfie stick ?

What are the odds?
Was just riding along route 3 between Kampot & Sihaoukville and what do I see but the cart hitched to a bike ridden by a barang stopped at the side of the road.
Pulled over to congratulate him on its recovery, turns out he was a friend of the owner driving it back to Kampot. He seemed a little stressed out, not sure if it was bike issues or shitty road issues, but he was keen to get moving again.
He did have time to say that the kart had been moved from where I’d spotted it, and that he’d had a bit of a wild goose chase tracking it down again, but he found it in the end👍
Hopefully the next time I stumble across it I can buy myself some chips😋

"...so I stopped to secure the hitch, and this guy pulls up, gets out and says 'ah, the stolen chippie wagon, eh?' I nearly made a run for it, and he says 'congratulations on your reuniting'. He could see my beads of sweat, so I blurted out the first think that came to me; 'I nearly shit all over the bike, so I pulled over for a dung-out and am looking for some tissues'. I was so nervous it came as a blubbering mess which he thought was something about bike issues and shit roads. Close call..."

Seriously, glad to hear you are, or almost, back in business. Somehow, I think this is not going to adversely affect your trade. Congratulations on your successful venture, in advance.

Fast forward to 2027..

"...Yes, well thank you for this award for the World's Richest Man. It will compliment my previous Biggest-Ever Chip-Head, Chip off the Odd Sock, and the Chip Hot, Hot Chip trophies. Ironically, my fortune was made possible through misfortune, at the end of NOVID, as we now refer to it, in a small town in the south of Cambodia..."

If this is the cart in question (I think it is) it’s currently parked on the new beach road at Otres, Sihanoukville.
It’s had a very rough Matt black paint job in an attempt to disguise it but the paint is peeling already revealing it’s true colors.
I don’t do Facebook etc so can someone please pass this message on to the real owner👍
Well done!
