Questions about Garage Bar Incident
I do not mean to create problems that are meant to remain secret, but I have had several people in the last few years send me intriguing and curious messages through three different social media venues.
First, let me preface:
1. There were at least two occasions that my late ex felt threatened in some way. He wrote e mails to me and mentioned that if he went missing, not to be terribly surprised.
2. Garage Bar and the "adoption issue" in Cambodia seem to be somehow linked, along with a fellow with some anger issues. His name doesn't need to be mentioned here, and I have researched that person quite a bit, seen photos, read some things.
My question, and please write to me in a message if that is what is acceptable concerning this topic: what the hell went on? I am curious, and enough is enough. I want detail and narrative, if at all possible.
Grateful for any information, and please separate out "fact" and opinion when you write, either in this thread or in a message. Don't assume I know any of the story. I know only the vaguest of details
Regards, and thanks.

Re: Questions about Garage Bar Incident
To clarify: I fully believe that ex's death had nothing to do with Garage Bar, but mention ex's e mails to me as a point of interest. I am aware of another incident as well (that concerned him and his need for anonymity). Not sure any of this is important owing to his death, but is certainly curious and his piqued my curiosity.

Re: Questions about Garage Bar Incident
There's at least one poster on here who was there but I think he has Alzheimer's. I wasn't there but this account seems fairly accurate from what I've heard.

Re: Questions about Garage Bar Incident
Didn’t the whole thing start with them wanting to beat up that guy with the most posts? I don’t think he was there but he should know what they wanted if they were searching for him.
KiR the man the myth the legend talked himself out of it and as usual was not seen at Garage for a very long time again.

Re: Questions about Garage Bar Incident
I think they mostly wanted to beat up Ken Svay who had made some sort of comment they didn't like. I heard KIR told them he was a missionary from Battambang and had a bus to catch so they let him go. I never really got what it was about.

Is the fellow who basically kept everyone captive still in PP? I am shocked with the description of the incident. Hope he no longer drinks.

Re: Questions about Garage Bar Incident
I'm glad that C cat reminded me and everyone else of Garage Bars bad history, it could be the reason I dont drink there any more.
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.

Garage bar is a place where 4 owners have sold in 5 years and the patrons and surrounding culture changed multiple times but the final straw for you was one violent man who was there half a decade ago?
