Re: Hotel Cara On Fire

If they only had a Dry Chemical Kitchen Hood system this could have been avoided. But meh, each time my company has submitted a price for a NFPA complaint fire protection system we've always been shot down. Except the us embassy leased housing, even then I had to fight to get them to put in the righ...

I'd have beat up the tuk tuk driver also, what self respecting tuk tuk driver couldn't find ladyboy? That's just providing sub-par customer service.

Re: COP OUT

I’ve learned in all my years here, that you don’t stick your nose in Khmer business. Even if you’re in the right, preventing a crime, and with proof you still won’t win. Let your little lady know about it and let her round up the troops to get this guy. A barang, imo, has no business intervening. Yo...

Re: Is the PPP next?

When I think of someone that would get their visa pulled or deported/banned is someone like Alejandro Gonzalez-Davidson. I think the majority of expats are free to say what they want with the exceptions if you're in a business here and more of a player in the country instead of the expat that sits a...
