Operation Commando Vault 1969

Operation Commando Vault 1969 Although in the Australian Army, in late 1969 I became involved with the preparations for the US/ARVN "Incursion" in to Cambodia in early 1970 because of Operation Commando Vault. Because of my then ECN/MOS in late 1969 I was seconded from my command of Detach...

Re: Boarding requirements flight BKK-PNH 16-03-24

It's nothing more than a Low Cost Carrier - LCC - shifting it's responsibility for returning passengers denied entry to Cambodia for any reason from the carrier, at the carrier's expense, to the passenger denied entry to Cambodia by immigration for whatever reason. The vast majority of travelers on ...

Re: Older girls in PP

This thread reminds me of my days in South Vietnam in 1969 during the war there.
There was this quotation: Go Ugly - Go Early.

Different location, but Soi Cowboy, Sukhumvit, Bangkok, still has "Wife for the Week" deals.
Probably the same in Soi 11 based on a visit there 19 days ago.

Re: Skeet & Trap

To answer the OP's question. There are NO Skeet or DTL or Clay target ranges in Cambodia and certainly not so for the general citizenry or visitors to Cambodia. More is the pity. I used to enjoy DTL - Down The Line - clay target shooting and ranked well and have a few break badges to prove it- ditto...

Re: Prostate massage?

Can't say that I had ever heard of "Prostate Massaging" until reading of it her.

Sound suspiciously like a euphemism for Masturbation to me.

Re: e-Arrival Card app for foreigners coming to Cambodia to be launched in 2024

There are low end/low value Smart Phones and then there are Smart Smart Phones.

This is not the point.

The point being, does or does not, this simplify entry in to Cambodia for the majority of Travelers/Visitors or not?

I suspect not.

Re: e-Arrival Card app for foreigners coming to Cambodia to be launched in 2024

Having today spent some time reading all of the limited information available on the quoted site: http://www.arrival.gov.kh I suspect that the Cambodian Government/Ministry of Tourism has got this wrong for a number of reasons. I further suspect that the Cambodian Government/Ministry of Tourism has ...

Re: Ocular Gnathostomiasis

A pterygium would be the least of his problems. A pterygium is on the exterior of the eye and easily removed with simple eye surgery in just a few minutes. We remove pterygiums on a near-daily basis at the Battambang Ophthalmic Care - BOC - at Battambang. But a parasitic worm emerging from an eye we...
