Two 'Missing' Backpackers in South East 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.

Haha, that guy is a druggie who tried convincing me he was working 'undercover' in lockstep with Cambodian police as an probate investigator. He was drunk as shit when telling me this. Every undercover agent usually spews off from the mouth telling people that, right?

Not surprising he's somehow missing. Has anyone checked the roadside ditches in Koh Rong?

Ex-special forces?

What would an undercover probate investigator be doing in Cambodia, and how would Cambodian police be involved?

I knew a whacky Thai gal who when I parted ways with her posted my picture and a lot of bullshit about her 'missing friend' on her facebook account asking for anyone who saw me to get in touch with her.
I had told her I was heading north to throw her scent off my trail...
A friend of hers who had my email address wrote me and told me about... I was not on facebook ...had no idea..
I saw the post and was shocked at the detail and seemingly sincerity it contained...
all the while it was just a pissed off gal whose meal ticket had gotten tired of her games and bad habits.

hope they are doing fine.

but that fits the definition of true backpacking...

disappear for a longtime, touch base with home occasionally and stay the hell off social media.
