A Cambodian Man Arrested After Stealing $4000 from Foreigner

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.

When traveling in the L of W, and elsewhere as well I always drop my wallet into my jockey shorts. That way they get nothing or everything. Agreed, fishing it out to pay is sometimes slightly awkward.

Probably one who thinks it's safer than leaving it in the Guesthouse for the staff to take!

Cheer UT. I actually also thought that he might was on his way to Naga World or he just left Naga. Who know since this was reported by local news and everyone know that they always made up story and try to post as quick as they can to beat their competitive.

However i am glad that he got his money back.

There used to be a time when Vietnamese banks did not yet issue credit cards and I had no bank account anywhere else. Plenty of times I'd travel with a few thousand in my pocket....
