Re: Kampot Expat Woman Attacked by Bag Snatchers at Midday (UPDATED)
I'll stay safe and won't be riding my motorcycle in quiet streets at 3am, not blaming the victim but isn't that asking for trouble?
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

Hardly - typically the streets are safe at all hours - but stuff like this happens a few times per year.
It's safe to say the blame is on the two knife wielding youths
Re: Kampot Expat Woman Attacked by Bag Snatchers at Midday (UPDATED)
I wouldn't walk or ride anywhere around Kampot late at night let alone 3am, I'm not blaming the victim but you don't jump into shark infested waters then complain you got bitten. Anyone should be able to go anywhere at anytime but sadly you can't.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 4:28 pmHardly - typically the streets are safe at all hours - but stuff like this happens a few times per year.

Hundreds, if not thousands of people ride around Kampot every night of the year - this sort of thing happens perhaps a half dozen times per year
It's as safe as anywhere, perhaps safer
That said; it's the week before Pchum Ben - a traditional robbery season - so extra vigilance is no harm
Re: Kampot Expat Woman Attacked by Bag Snatchers at Midday (UPDATED)
I've had a phone snatched in kep daytime, I've been walking around Kampot late with girls and over the year's had at least 4 attempt's of bag snatching the girls handbags, lucky they are Khmer and aware. I only holiday in Kampot so not a local but if this happens in the small amount of time I'm there it's gotta be happening to locals. Kampot is no safer than Phnom Penh riverside late at night in my opinion. Of course these incidents don't make the news.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 4:51 pmYou are risk averse, I get itatst wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 4:35 pmI wouldn't walk or ride anywhere around Kampot late at night let alone 3am, I'm not blaming the victim but you don't jump into shark infested waters then complain you got bitten.

Re: Kampot Expat Woman Attacked by Bag Snatchers at Midday (UPDATED)
KAMPOT: A woman tourist riding alone on a motorbike was attacked and slashed with a knife by two Cambodian men or teenagers in the middle of the day, on 27 May, while riding on a rental scooter to visit Kampot pepper plantations.
This violent attack on a woman in the middle of the day might deter tourists from visiting Kampot and Cambodia. People may be scared to travel to Kampot now, so police, please do your job and put these bandits in jail.
A woman tourist on a motorbike was attacked in broad daylight

Kampot NoticeboardSerious incident occurred yesterday on the road out to the pepper plantations. A female tourist riding a rental scooter was stopped by 2 teenagers who tried to rip off her handbag. She resisted and was sliced across the arm with a large knife. They got away with her belongings: The wound on her forearm is absolutely massive and she will undergo surgery today at Sonja Kil hospital. Absolutely shocking !!!!
No news from police yet but please be careful out there anyone traveling alone. This attack happened in broad daylight approx 2-3pm near the secret lake.

Ok. I used to think that people(in general) were taking the piss when complaining about violent crime in Kampot at 3am, but solo women being attacked by little fkers on motorbikes at midday, IMO that's Better get their heads fixed up because that is not ok.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 4:51 pmYou are risk averse, I get itatst wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 4:35 pmI wouldn't walk or ride anywhere around Kampot late at night let alone 3am, I'm not blaming the victim but you don't jump into shark infested waters then complain you got bitten.

My partners 12 year old cousin was stopped by 3 khmer teenagers, ( his words) around 4 pm while on a honda dream between the white horse and the school on the road to the beach last august< they knocked him in the head and jumped on his bike and left>
he was ok enough to report to police who told him nothing they could do>
If Khmers want something, they will attempt to take it
why do you think Khmers lock their motorcycles ( and even cars) inside their homes at night?

However, one isolated and unusual violent incident almost a year after my previous post with five cop cars of pigs out looking for the culprits would seem to advance, rather than refute my point that it's as safe as anywhere and perhaps safer
In the same period a handful of westerners have literally been assinated by retard chavs in Phnom Penh, for example
