What prize do I have?

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.

What prize do I have?

Post by NeverNude »

So my beloved Cambodia Beer has free beer under the tab. However, these two fuckers both have a “1” in front of some writing. Who can be a mensch, and translate my prizes for me?

The left one is one can.

The right one is 1 special thanks.

Shall I collect them in exchange for 1 can?

I have dozens of each. I may share with the right answer! However, yesterday I took one of these two, I’m guessing the one on the right, and they gave me 5 beers for it. But an English speaking Khmer guy at the counter yesterday said i am due 10 beers. So I’m asking experienced Cambodia Beer can drinkers, what’s each worth? Even though one is labeled one free beer, the shop says I have to pay 500 per can, even on the one that says 1 free can.

Should I be paying 500 per “free beer” tab?

Then I owe you a beer. Me and I’ll buy.

If you exchange at the Cambodia wholesaleshop - no.

But small retailshop often charge 500r 'commission', so they will give you one can for the left one if you pay 500r and 9.500r for the right one.

Of course it's in their interest to give you cans instead of cash, but with the right one you can claim cash.

You bastards here are alright. I’m buying. Tab party. I can cash in about 25 of the 10,000 ones. Where to throw a can party? Quick Mart?

I have around a dozen of the “free beer” ones and a few 10k rials, now how to reclaim my winnings without paying “commission” to the retail shops, even if it involves extensive travel and Khmer talk?
