Re: Brutal Double Child Murder and Rape in Sihanoukville

A short time ago I was reading a media report about what was done to the capture of a rapist/murderer. From memory I think the country was Nigeria. They took the guy to a large open space and with crowds of onlookers milling around beat the shit out of him. Then they beheaded and crucified him and l...

Re: Tonle Sap floating villages to be resettled by government

Most of the items on the floating villages are ethnic Vietnamese, but have lived here for several generations. Most speak Khmer, often as a first language. As to why, well, Khmers weren't the traditional fishermen, they were farmers. The Chams and Vietnamese were the main fishermen, even prior to F...

Re: Fake $50 bill from an ANZ ATM

I have been coming to Cambodia for 10 years and have made many, many ATM withdrawls over those years and this has never happened before, until this month. And it was ANZ, not ABA. Hey, I'm not doubting you. I only mentioned ABA because they are my main bank for withdrawals when I'm in town. I've us...

Re: Tonle Sap floating villages to be resettled by government

Just wondered, a genuine question.
Why are there so many Vietnamese living here in Cambodia?
Is it because Vietnam is so poverty stricken, or are there other reasons?

Re: Preparing for Dengue Outbreak 2019

Reminds me of what happened to me many years ago when I was living in Phuket where Dengue is not allowed. I was admitted to an International hospital suffering from severe fever etc. Must say the hospital facilities could equal a 5 star hotel. Beautiful individual rooms with lots of facilities. The ...

Re: Fake $50 bill from an ANZ ATM

Hi, I've lived in Cambodia for over 6 years and must have withdrawn way over $100k from ABA and various other ATM's. Maybe I've been lucky, but I can honestly say
I've never received a fake bill from any ATM.

Re: Ukrainian Volodymer Behal arrested for stealing $5,000 and 10 phones from Chinese businessman in Sihanoukville

I, for one, am becoming increasingly concerned about all the foreign crap thats being let into the country. Does't matter how long we have lived here or what our personal situation is, bottom line is we are only guests in this wonderful country. For the many good expats who live here I just hope and...
