is Cambodia full of bored alcoholics?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

The strange thing is that some people do find drinking Alcohol to excess MEANINGFUL, and the fact that Cambodia is cheap in that regard is one very big reason why there are so many piss heads in Phnom Penhs 172 and 52 streets...etc.

I think you meant 51? I went through there on Saturday evening and it was mostly dead.The only strange thing is how you and BKKTrapper think a couple of streets frequented by tourists are somehow representative of a whole country.

I tend to agree with that.

There is no denying that Cambodia is a magnet for digital nomads who love the Cambodians coffee culture.

There are many things that you can do here and you can only be bored if you don't have any imagination or if you have done it to death over the years; meaning time to move on to another venture
