Dear Tourists

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.

Dear Tourists

Post by Captain Bonez »

You guys are really good at getting your phones ripped from your hands by motorbike thieves when you walk around with your phone out at arm's length using it like a compass to get around in Cambodia.

If you're going to Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh, just be a bit wise about using your phone around there and step away from the street where you can't be so easily got at by thieves.

Just saw a young lady have her things taken from her around there at high speed with tourists on the other side of the street with their phones out begging to be robbed.

This is not the first time I've seen this around there and I know it won't be the last.

Also, leave your passport etc at the hotel :thumb:
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

This.

My last phone was a second-hand Samsung. It was once owned by someone from Korea because there are dates in the calendar that cant be removed.

I have always wondered how the phone shop acquired it, I doubt it was part exchanged by a Korean tourist making an upgrade.
