Re: Cameron visit to the U.S.

Why in the world would that arsehat David Cameron meet with Donald Trump to talk about anything? Is Cameron the UK Foreign Secretary? Yes. Is Trump possibly the next POTUS? Yes. Why wouldn't he? He's trying to persuade him to tell the Republicans to stop fucking with the $60B aid for Ukraine to buy...

Re: What is the benefit of living in Cambodia, instead of Thailand or Vietnam?

I would love to know because I am struggling to see it. Against Thailand and Vietnam there is: - poorer healthcare system - higher corruption - out of control development that would make even Vietnam blush - less diversity in things to do and see - worse driving - the expats (this is not ALL, but m...

Re: trump in Bangkok

It's funny, but disturbing at the same time. You can barely trust anything you see in the news as it is, but at least if you see a politician making a speech on tv you can be pretty sure it happened. With tech like this out there and getting more sophisticated, I feel like it won't be long before t...

Re: Koh Tao ferry fire

Just another smiling day in the land of [our tourism industry is falling apart] https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-68731765 I've tended to stay away from boats in the KoW & region, way too many boats that just don't look remotely seaworthy, with a ten year old captain running the motor at 10,0...

Re: Recommended MOVIES

Manhunter (1986)


It apparently inspired the Silence of the Lambs movies; and the parallels are clear

maybe it's because I watched all the Silence movies as a kid and haven't since but I prefer this and think it's a great movie despite never seeing before it until tonight

Hello everyone, I have a question about opening a bank account in Phnom Penh, preferably at ABA Bank.
