Fair 'nuff. Worth thinking about though.

I think there's a bit of a misconception of this guesthouse here. The foreigners work nearly exclusively behind the bar and for reception, (something you need English speakers for and it makes the guest more comfortable) the majority is local staff from the island who get paid for their work.
The reason I'm on here defending this guesthouse and their offer is because it seems I'm the only one who knows the on ground situation and members of the staff, whereas everyone else just goes off on this because THEY wouldn't work for free. But these are 20-something kids who are more than happy to live on a remote island for a couple of months and live their hippy dream for +-0$.
Hence why I said she has probably been inundated with offers of help.IraHayes wrote: For those travelling on a budget who want to extend their stay in “paradise” this offer, while we are laughing at them, is just what some of them were looking for.

I agree. Anyone should be able to work for free if they want, and this place isn't forcing anyone to volunteer.

As somewhat of an expert on Swedish chicks I recommend keeping a safe distance. Her generation especially is alarmingly borderline. Cover up, if you must.

You say you know the situation! So what of the legal situation for the person to work?TheSiemReaper wrote: ↑Tue Jul 10, 2018 10:12 amI think there's a bit of a misconception of this guesthouse here.

And if she can get western help on a shoestring in exchange for a bed and rice good luck to her. Exploit them some more I say!
Seems to me, pay a Khmer for a month $150, feed a barang for a month, $++.
The Khmer works 8hrs 30 days, does what he's told and doesn't whinge. Dunno many barang who would work as hard for so little.
Also, isn't this taking available work from the Khmer? Why? I guess the people who volunteer for this stuff often do so because they are budget conscious, which of course means......THEY DON'T SPEND, thereby assisting the local economy, not at all....
Just my thoughts anyhoo.

And the reason they employ these people instead of all Khmer staff is the same as many other guesthouses because the guest feel more comfortable with having the same 'kind of people' as them greeting them at the reception and bar. Which is not the fault of the guesthouses they just cater to their clients.
Speaking of khmer, as these kids live very close with the local staff a lot of them speak better khmer than most expats after 20 odd years here.
Unbelievable the amount of people commenting on things they have not a single clue about...
I'm not looking to get offensive nor defensive on this one.
I live in OSoam, which I consider slightly remote and not hugely populated nor popular ( this is changing fast), but I guess the fishermen are all cool with someone coming in with free workers while their own kids are going to work as......fishermen.
Again, please don't read this as an argument., I am open to persuasion.

Re: Hot Swedish Chick Looking for a White Slave in Kampot
I have personally volunteered at Ten103 for 8 months. 3.5 of those months were for Lois(the Swedish girl in mention). If you have never considered volunteering for accommodation please leave this post as it has NOTHING to do with you!
My time on ktk was an unforgettable adventure and I will most definitely go back. The guesthouse employs(and pays) an array of hard working khmer staff who became good friends in those months. My fellow western volunteers? We are one big happy family and the word "work" only applies some of the time because half the time the bar is just empty and you're literally just hanging out with your friends IN PARADISE. This is not a career move but it is a great way to spend your time!
Last but not least, Lois IS THE BEST, I have nothing but love and respect for her personally and her management style. Anyone interested in this type of experience will have an absolutely phenomenal time!

"half the time the bar is just empty..."
Thanks for an insight that explains the wage scale.

Re: Hot Swedish Chick Looking for a White Slave in Kampot
Should have thought of this (Lois management strategy). Could I have got someone in to manage my bar, then had my holiday? It would be possible I could have got pineapple maybe! Outcome on return no stock nil nil nil profit. Or I maybe wrong.
No pun on you Lois.

Re: Hot Swedish Chick Looking for a White Slave in Kampot
Some of you guys seem a bit over-fussy about looks, to an extent that I find unbelievable. That woman in the photos is very pretty, I don't care whether you think she's a "7" or whatever, you don't need to be so judgemental about looks. I wonder what shape some of those posters are in?
Silence, exile, and cunning.
