I didn't know they had rooms there, but the photos in the other thread don't appear to have been taken in a guest room, anyway. Stainless steel table, fire extinguisher on the wall and some laundry hanging up. More like a back room of the bar.

Erik had actually lived in Phnom Penh for a few years, he was an expat and not a tourist. He also rented an apartment in that block for some time, it is quite a surprise that he is now dead.

Erik was in the German army in the past and I believe he leaves a son in Germany, Erik stayed in a lot working online so those who knew him did not see him much. The article did misspell his surname, this may not be a bad thing as at least his family and friends will not learn of his death from the internet.

Erik used to live in Pattaya and had a bar on Soi 6 in 2009, another person gone and so RIP Erik, sleep well.
