A dry election

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.

Don't worry, you will find your booze. Nobody really cares about those regulations, you will find many back doors open and if you want to drink at home buy a few cases in advance. In fact, for many Cambodian men it's a chance to get wasted for three days in a row.
Lol. That wasn't really my point, but thanks for the advice anyway.
You had a point? What was your point? In just over a month since registering, you’ve demonstrated a particular focus on alcohol, an occasional negative view on Cambodia/Cambodians, and a dig at the forum membership. All in 27 contributions. Are you struggling with something? Something that maybe a week chilling out, sans alcohol might assist with?
It's a forum about Cambodia.. What you expect me to do, write about Europe and the States?
I'm living here so I have to deal with Cambodian people. If I would be part of Russianexpatsonline I would be whining about Russians.
And btw, I maybe only posted twice about something that could be improved in Cambodia. And once about alcohol. What's your problem? Hurts to hear the truth sometimes? Maybe it's you who needs to get out of his Cambodian bubble and realize that there's different views except for the ones in the villages in the province.
So…that’s a Yes, then? Carry on.
That was a yes indeed. Don't understand what you didn't get it in first place. But you're dismissed as well.

I think its a silly rule (dry elections), but it is what it is.

One of the most depressing images I remember from the last election was walking into a bar on riverside and seeing about 15 middle aged blokes sitting around the bar all with white coffee mugs. Looked sad, ridiculous and desperate. Turned on my heels and went elsewhere for a feed.
Harry's always looks depressing even when they are allowed to use glasses.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

That is actually true. It used to be kinda fun but for some reason, all the personality has been sucked out of the place.

The good news is that no expat deaths due to dehydration (or DTs) were reported during the elections in 2018 : newsworthy/alcohol-prohibition-for-days ... 21610.html

Definitely easier than I thought it would be to buy a pint last night.
