Walking along the beach at night with all your belongings in a single bag is not a good idea anywhere in the world, not even in frogland.

If I were backpacking (God forbid), I would find ways to keep my stash safe. And I certainly would not put all my eggs in one basket so to speak.that genius wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 12:21 pmWould you leave all your valuable possessions in a safe at Flamingo?Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 11:35 amyup dont understand why people do it, surely most hostels have safes these days?!

Is (was?) on 172 St next to the Black Cat bar and originally owned by the same people. http://www.flamingos.com.kh/contact_us.phpJamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 4:52 pmwheres flamingo?hanno wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 12:51 pmIf I were backpacking (God forbid), I would find ways to keep my stash safe.

Don't be fooled by the website, it's a pretty "dire" place IMO! And to answer "that genius" I would not go near the place, let alone trust the safe

Flamingos, the hotel was gutted at least 4-5 months ago, walked past about 5 weeks ago and it was still gutted. I understand the brothers have sold and the building refurbished in a new hotel. It was a good, or maybe a fun hotel several years ago and before, and more so before a certain manager Mr B started rifling through the room safes!
