Young Cambodian girl took off shirt

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

She wasn't saying much; more making faces and twisting her body around. It did seem like she was acting child-like, so perhaps she's developmentally disabled? Or maybe it was ice or yaba? Or both?
No , he said that maybe she used drug. Did u hear the word " Bek Thnam"? Bek thnam means drugs. I didn't see any woman there to help her to dress up. When a man couldn't zip the jacket,i heard some men said " trembling hand" and laughed..

But selective if they do anything about it. I've seen a really dirty hobo walking around Psar Kandal naked and a while back some old dude was sleeping on the wall along the river wearing only a krama with his balls hanging out for all the world to see. Nobody seemed to care.
Normally people never naked in the public, but if anyone naked in public we think they have mental problem and not want to inolve with them. Even though police send them to the police station or hospital,but they seem to be neglacted while no one respond for it if their relatives not care about them.

Ohhh... that makes so much sense. I thought I was hearing "bei chhnam ei" but it made no sense to me. I was trying to figure out if this was some colloquial way of expressing the idea that she was acting like a 3 year old. I went back and listened again and now hear it the way you presented it. I did not know the word for "drugs" before, so thank you for teaching me!
