Re: Is my Electricity Bill high?

Why would you run ac 24/7? Don’t you ever leave the house? If you do actually leave but require the house to be cool when you return then purchase a WiFi ac remote which you can control from your phone.

Re: Illiteracy in young(ish) Khmers

It's not unusual. A significant number of people are like that - either can't read or can barely read.

Back when I was learning Khmer I used to frequently ask people for help with reading new words and loads of people, of all ages, would tell me that they were unable to read.

I think so, in a coma in KR then he travels/is transported to SR, then comes back to PP.
Seems that there is part of the story left out.

Re: PM seeks ban on water gun games during KNY after foreign tourist injured

Did anybody see any of the videos of the girls with the new nose jobs who were slapped with a handful of talc and their noses ended up spread across their faces? Missus tells me there were ...

Re: K-Visa help

I tried to get a visa for my son in his Khmer passport to visit the UK and it was denied, stating that he is a UK citizen and I must get a UK passport for him. So I want the k-visa so I can exit and re-enter Cambodia on his UK passport easily. Also, if we were to visit Europe, yes I can do so on hi...

Re: Thief robs a lotion lady and kills husband

I heard the same story yesterday, and it differs significantly from yours.

Perhaps yours is the Holywood adaptation? Or maybe I wasn't paying attention when I was told it.

If you attached a link then we'd know for sure...
