Australian JUSTIN KING Asks Cambodian Immigration to Send Him Home

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

If he wanted help from his family and embassy he should have contacted his family and embassy, not gone to Cambodian officials and said "I want food and a place to sleep and a plane ticket home."

The slide into this situation is usually a symptom of deteriorating psychological disfunctions.
For most it is not a choice - and hopefully to most, it is not shameful.
It is a medical condition rather than a moral one, both doctors and priests agree on that.

And i doubt if there are many votes amongst the expat community for tightening up the personal finance checking.
PS, Cambodia does not pay.

...just my view

It's an insult and disservice to people who are truly mentally ill to say that most of these Western guys who travel to party towns like Phnom
Penh, Pattaya, or Tijiuana and run out of money are "mentally ill" and that their situation is not the result of choice.

Cambodia pays the salaries of the immigration officials who have to deal with these guys. Cambodia pays to build and staff and operate detention centers to hold them. Cambodia pays to feed them while they are detained. Cambodia pays to transport them to the Thai border. I don't know who pays for their flights if they are deported by air.

I believe the detainee does. If he/she can't, they remain a guest of the Cambodian government (and a drain on the taxpayers) until they can start a 'Go Fund Me' campaign.

You make it sound like you'd prefer it if he, and others like him, were left to die on the street! Sure, he has probably made some bad lifestyle choices, and contributed to his poorly state, like many others before him. Let him that is without error cast the first stone at him - that sure as heck won't be me. I've made some pretty dumb decisions in my time and have needed another chance, I hope this guy gets a chance to redeem himself.

Pieman, you've gone up in my estimation, though I don't believe we've met.

Talking about 136st. Immigration police could full a bus with the number of homeless Barang annoying paying customers for a free beer. Many also aggressive if you tell them to bugger off.

Time they swept these bastards up also.

Do you think your perception could be skewed from primarily interacting with the type of foreigner who buys pies at 1am in red light districts?

That's unfair. He also interacts a lot with the day drinking crowd on Street 130.

Sad if you can't ask somebody for help in your homecountry.
