Siem Reap visit
Re: Siem Reap visit
They just might like to see how your house is coming together. Not like the normal Khmer build.whiteribbon wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2017 9:27 pmStill don't know exactly why. I ask them every time, why they come so much since they know my visa is good for another 8/6/4 months or whatever but they told me it's their boss who tells them to check up on me. They always ask me if I still live alone so maybe they're just worried about me lol. They're always friendly but it was a bit intimidating the first time 10 uniformed men showed up here to be honest. And no I never give them any money nor do they ask for it. I always offer them something to drink but that's about it. And they always take a lot of pictures of me and the house as well. And I usually end up with 5 new phone numbers from them since its not always the same cops that come. All a bit strange but I'm used to it now.username wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2017 8:54 pmCan you tell more about that? What's their excuse for coming? Do they hang around until you give them enough for a few beers?whiteribbon wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2017 7:26 pmI doubt you would feel much better living here though.
I have 10 police officers at my house every 3 to 4 months to check up on me. I don't have a problem with it since they're always very friendly but it happens here too.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Re: Siem Reap visit
Nah it was from when I first started living here in Kep, long time ago. Think they don't have much to do here so they fill their days like this.AndyKK wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2017 11:32 pmThey just might like to see how your house is coming together.

Re: Siem Reap visit
Maybe they don't come around in Phuket because it's swarming with so many foreigners but they come around often in Chiang Rai and Ubon. Had two in one week once.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2017 8:03 pmHaven't had a thai police man or immigration official at my door since back in '89 when i was accused of being a drug dealerwhiteribbon wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2017 7:26 pmI doubt you would feel much better living here though.

Thailand survives, they are great at re inventing themselves and they have learned,
