Re: Information on Coronavirus / COVID-19 in Cambodia (Latest Updates April 2021)

The last extension to Phnom Penh's 15 day measures didn't include gyms as it did in all the previous announcements. Therefore all the gyms are reopening based upon that.

Re: Hattha Kaksekar (HKL) fixed term deposit info.....

HKL look safe enough to me. HKL is wholly-owned by Bank of Ayudhya (Krungsri), the 5th largest bank in Thailand and a member of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), Japan’s largest banking group and one of the world’s largest and most diversified financial groups. They're building a huge new HQ ou...

Re: Selling to Cambodians

I've owned and run two businesses here - 1 aimed at foreigner tourists who were a real pain to deal with and I sold that business and got out. The other is aimed at Cambodians with 99% Cambodian customers who are far easier to deal with, and that has been profitable every month for 12 years since op...

Lost! Pink Flamingo - $1000 Reward

Hun To has lost one of his pink flamingos from his inner-city mini golf course and is offering a $1000 reward. I fear that one of his gibbons may have eaten it. If anyone sees it, capture it and phone the number provided in the link. https://scontent.fpnh1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/fr/cp0/e15/q65/105...

Re: 15Yo Country Girl Attacks her Rapist with a Meat Cleaver and Puts Him in Hospital

Cool, when I was a cop we had a bozo try to force a blow job with a knife in the woman's room at the local park. He picked the wrong woman.
