Re: Cambodia: Asia’s New Fraud Capital

Their money was also being taken from locked hotel safes as well. Meaning their hotel rooms (hotels endorsed by their government), aren’t safe either. Hotel safes do have a master key, well known So where does one keep one’s vacation money while on vacation? Hat, shoes, socks? At home on a bank acc...

Re: Review of some streets in PP

It seems like you visited Wat Phnom in the daytime or evening as they don't allow people up on the hill at night. The fence around the bottom is relatively new. Anyway it's a long time since I was through there at night but that's when it used to start getting wild.

Re: Borey living

I think the word 'Borey' originates from 'Boring'. Most of them are just soulless cash cows, purpose built for the wannabe upperclass. Keep in mind that thanks to the mostly swampy area they were built on and the as-cheap-as-possible construction, repair and maintenance costs will start to kill you...
