Re: Cambodia: Asia’s New Fraud Capital
I am very dubious about claims of loss of large sums of money, often thousands of dollars, by anyone. Who carries such sums? They must be either very, very wealthy or very, very stupid!

Review of some streets in PP
I visited PP in late March and, following earlier advice from this site, thought some feedback observations might be helpful. I stayed in the Tao Hotel on the corner of Riverside and Street 144 and found it very nice, perhaps a bit basic but air conditioned, spacious, cheap, great balcony overlookin...

Dating websites for short-term friendship
In an earlier thread I started I received advice that using dating sites could be a good way of meeting a girl in Cambodia. I did try this, alas without much success! If you are resident, or in PP for several months, then some of the sites my be helpful but for a short-term visitor they did not seem...

Illiteracy in young(ish) Khmers
I was very surprised to meet a girl of 29 in PP who was illiterate, she could neither read or write and used the speak function on her phone to send and hear messages. She was happy with her situation and did not see the need to put effort into learning. She told me her parents had split when she wa...

Re: The Gender madness
I have little difficulty in deciding whether a person is man or woman, albeit some Thai ladyboys are tricky!

Re: 6,000 baht all in fee for Girl "release" from the bar
Sounds like great news for freelancers. Also everyone will go to Pattaya or Phuket for their authentic bar experience. Unless of course the fee includes all you and her can drink! And 90 minutes from her leaving and returning! Takes half an hour plus to get to the hotel each way and some time faffin...

Re: Westerners spend twice as much time on beaches than at Angkor
Ankor Wat is what brings tourists to Cambodia but unless you are really interested in historical temples you can do it in two days. So, then there is the other attractions and a warm beach is high on the list of how to spend the rest of your short holiday. Holidays are about something different from...

Re: Boarding requirements flight BKK-PNH 16-03-24
No one carries cash anymore. I certainly never do and have happily holidayed in several countries without having to handle money.
Can I confidently assume the tuktuk drivers and girls I may meet in Cambodia will have personal card readers?

Re: Why do Western women visit Cambodia?
I think most people, men and women, go to Cambodia for Ankor Wat. I did as did my partner and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Why go a second time? More history and an experience of Street 130 and others in PP. Not sure what ex-partner is up to; maybe she’s in Nana as I type?

Re: Thai Gambler Succumbs to High Blood Pressure
“After the examination, the doctor concluded that the victim didn't have enough sleep and his blood pressure was high, causing him to die.”
Better be careful with late nights from now on. Never realised that they could be a cause of death.
