They can't raise $3,200 even with a gofundme? They managed 30% after four months, being ~$1,000. Maybe this makes me a total first-world douche, but if you can't get more than $1,000 behind you to get out of a prison half way around the world, you probably don't have very good/very many friends/family. Probably should have thought of that before hanging out with meth-heads in Cambodia...
Do you think the parents of baby boomers whined so much when the boomers started changing society? And yet the whiney ones like to call young people "snowflakes." Hmm...

I'm intrigued by the bit, "the woman was a cook". What did she cook? Meth?

That's a mean-spirited thing to say. Some people don't have wealthy friends; they come from poor backgrounds and their friends and families are also struggling to get by. Being broke and unable to get help from friends and family back home doesn't make someone a bad person.Electric Earth wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 10:53 am Maybe this makes me a total first-world douche, but if you can't get more than $1,000 behind you to get out of a prison half way around the world, you probably don't have very good/very many friends/family.

True that, but then moving to a 3rd-world country and doing drugs is maybe not all that smart...TeachingForPeanuts wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 11:12 amThat's a mean-spirited thing to say.

That's why I started with "Maybe this makes me a first-world douche." But he's a drug trafficer and meth-head, so I didn't feel too bad.TeachingForPeanuts wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 11:12 amThat's a mean-spirited thing to say.

You don't think anyone should step foot on foreign soil without a spare $20,000 in the bank, so I don't see why you'd have a problem with what I said.

Re: Two Foreigners Arrested Taking Drugs in Siem Reap Guesthouse
Doing illegal drugs and not having the money to bail out yourself is asking for trouble and getting repsonse. A controversial new thread would be: do barang caught selling meth deserve help once they get into trouble?Electric Earth wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 12:20 pmThat's why I started with "Maybe this makes me a first-world douche."

Re: Two Foreigners Arrested Taking Drugs in Siem Reap Guesthouse
As usual, we don't know the whole story here, so we don't know if they were 'just' doing drugs or whether they were selling. They got caught taking drugs in their hotel room,(bad luck, or very good timing by the cops ? ), but from the news reports, the two guys had a small amount of drugs on them. We have already seen police reports on CEO where Cambodians are charged with trafficking, even though it seems obvious that they are small time users.
My theory (LOL, FWIW, which is not much) is that the three Cambodians who got busted might have been the sellers, who gave up the two foreigners to the police in exchange for a more lenient sentence. Pure speculation of course.
Anyhow, this affair shows that it can be a very big deal to get busted for drugs in Cambodia. I'm just saying that because from time to time we get posters here who think that taking drugs in Cambodia is not a big deal. Not telling people what to do, but you need to know that just because drugs are easily available here, doesn't mean that you won't go to prison.
