EXPATS BEWARE:

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.

Sometimes I catch myself about to give a snippet of advice. Then I swallow the words. No one ever listens to advice. They'll do what they planned to do anyway and, as we all know, most have already done the deed, then asked for advice after the damage.

I'm calling bullshit on the whole story.

A Cambodian woman would never send a message that says "Steve why you do this?".

It would say, "Steve why you do like this?"

Unfortunately it is all true. I (and other board members) know Steve and was drinking and playing golf with him in SHV and PP over the period when this was happening.

:facepalm:
Know more than a few farangs that not only fell in love but had kids,great lives and are still happy after 10,15,20 years
Dont go lumping all BG in one lot anymore than lumping all expats as sexpats
The trick is dont let the little head do all ur thinking and dont mix business with family, ( unless ur Chinese or Indian)

Was this his Girlfriend or just same random Bar girl he thought would make a good business partner (and even bigger mistake )

I guess if you hang out in bars frequented by...well people who hang out in bars, and you’d inevitably meet those types who’ve had issues with the types of girls who hang out at bars!

I know a lot of westerners in relationships and only a handful have ended in disaster. (Most have been met in bars, in whatever role they had - hostess, cashier, cook, chick out front who sells chicken etc.

You won’t often get a post about a some barang in happy relationship that he wants to tell everyone about because, apart from the fact nobody cares, but mainly it’s a bit sickly but people do care about it when it goes wrong. Mostly so they can comment about most go wrong and you’re a fool to even contemplate a relationship.
