8 Types of Expats You WILL Meet in Southeast Asia

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.

Not on the list but a south african woman I work wit fits the jaded fempat perfectly. Just sent her the link. It's going to really piss her off. Which is good. I cant stand her.

Prehaps we should be counting in halves.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Also, there is the Deathpat.

Deathpats are a unique breed of otherwise normal expats like the rest of us, until suddently they star in the Notesworthy section of CEO. They come from different backgrounds, but 9 in 10 are Caucasian males. They usually are experienced traveles and often have lived in other countries, but what unites them all is that for some mysterious reason Cambodia is their last stop. It's a still mystery why otherwise healthy (and often young) westerners come to die here, all that is officially known is that heart attack is their killer of choice.

The female sexpat gets far less recognition but is real. I've usually seen them in the 4 and 5-star hotels in Bangkok. They're usually fat, in their 40s and 50s, and with a Thai boy in his late teens or early 20s. No doubt funded by some Western man they royally screwed in a Western divorce court.
