Anyone know the big Aussie soap making guy with a tuk tuk?

Post by SlowJoe »

G'day folks,

I ran into him in person years back at Toul Tom Poung market, had a good chat and bought a box of soaps off him. I'm wondering if anyone knows him here, or has a general update on him. Wondering how he's doing and wouldn't mind buying some more soap if he's still at it.

I haven't seen him in a good while but he's still around, he posts in some Facebook groups.

Cheers all, and that's good to know.

And thanks PSD_Kiwi, the box I bought was unmarked and had no label, but bloody fantastic soap if I'm honest. I'm planning on a trip to PP soon and wanted to stock up so I'll look up his shop.

Are his soap bars embossed with messages like "wash your sins away with Jesus" ?

You're going to question a fella about his missionary position?

If they are you need to buy at least one years supply.

Well it does sound very odd.
Is it even legal in Cambodia?
