Re: Back to Siem Reap after 2.5 years

I don't understand this thread, it's really nice and personal. But is it sponsored by Chip Mong Group? Cambodia Beer draft has undoubtedly taken me to places to enjoy. But I can't say you'd want to miss anything firsthand for any reason other than the rice. And as a friend of proper marketing, I can...

Re: "6666" Massage shop Closed for Sexual Services

The only way to really fix the problem is to demolish the store and open a Starbucks or 7-Eleven there.

Re: There's a Rat in my Hotel Room, What'm I Gonna Do ???

I doubt you have many years of experience here. Rats are common in big cities. Using toxins against predators will only lead to more trouble later. The best way to keep rodents out of your home is to have a clean environment. Tie up your garbage bags and take them out regularly. Do not leave anythin...

Re: Bank fees. Is ABA taking the piss or are they all?

I have several bank accounts here at different banks, and I really like being back in the 80s, sometimes in one of them, with a normal passbook and everything. But with ABA it's very efficient, and it seems almost everyone uses it, so you can do just about anything from this app, which also seems to...

Re: There's a Rat in my Hotel Room, What'm I Gonna Do ???

Rats are a part of life. Subtropical environments and big cities are a natural place for them to breed in excess. I have seen so many rats in restaurants here. so I've gone cold about getting sick from it, or getting a disease from it. So now I just want to arrest the Food Safety Council back in the...

Just for local use they have been perfect for me. It just makes a lot of things easier to do and in doing so helps the economy as a whole.

Re: $30,000 price tag for Cambodian made watch.

Now is probably a good time to start talking about watches and their value. My favorite is still Konstantin Chaykin's Lunokhod watch and I think knowing the exact value in the amount of Bic Macs would be an interesting discussion as I think it will probably be truckloads. Luckily, there are no McDon...

Re: US Adds Cambodia to Human Trafficking Blacklist

Trafficking in persons violates the rights of all people to be free: free to do what you want, be who you want, make the life that you wish. Another highly paid government official providing another show of lavish comfort to earn cheap points as a hero of our future better-for-all world. I wish peo...

Re: US Adds Cambodia to Human Trafficking Blacklist

Does that mean they were removed at some point? Human trafficking is also widespread in the United States, originating primarily from Central and South America, but also from Asia and the Baltic countries. Even Africa, still.

Re: Cambodia needs safer street designs

Can't say I'm okay with the 'lack of road rule enforcement' point of reason,.. even today a whole bunch of green shirts were putting a lot of pressure on the little crossings whipping the poor little freshie boys of their hard-earned riels. These days I feel great having a pass app operator take ca...
