Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On the night of March 2, 2020, at 10:40 pm, a groom was attacked by his neighbor at his wedding party in Sangkat Chbar Ampov, Phnom Penh.

Before the incident, the victim was loudly enjoying the partying with his family and guests. However, the uninvited neighbors did not appreciate the noise, and they went into the party and told the bridegroom to stop the party because it was a late night and they wanted to sleep.
The newly wed husband ignored his neighbors request and continued the party. Then things got ugly, and a fight broke out between the neighbors and the wedding party. The neighbors were slightly injured, and the groom lost a tooth, while his brother recieved a bang on the head.

After the incident, the police took all of them to the police station for questioning. The next morning, on March 3, both sides filed a complaint against each other.

Neighbors are usually invited? Maybe these people already dislike each other

I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often, as it's annoying as shit when a neighbor dies or gets married. I always thought it was supposed to be loud and annoying. It makes you think twice of killing your neighbor. "I'd kill the bastard, but the hell if I wanna be woken up at 4AM for the next 3 days straight, so I'll just steal a few mangos instead."

Haha, we even had the blaring music for the engagement ceremony. I have to admit, I took a little bit of joy of blasting ear-piercing music at 4 AM after all the countless mornings over a decade of waking up (or not being able to go to sleep) with that blasting somewhere nearby. The universe is a little more balanced now, and I'm sure I gave some neighbors the 'HAHA, PAYBACK, BITCHES!" look on the way out.

And then this until evening, just to make sure we didn't miss anyone:

The problem is of course that khmers do not do things by halves..

For example, if you got aircon..it must be turned to MAXIMUM.. Hence shopping centres, movie theatres and taxis are always freezing. A case of 'if you got it, flaunt it' maybe? Incidentally, this is not confined to KOW..it also annoyed the hell out of me in Thailand too. Indeed, seems to be an asian thing..

And so it goes with music..whether it's a promo stall flogging something in the street or in the shopping centre or a club or whatever, it has to be LOUD...the LOUDER the better coz only then will you get noticed

Now in the case of a wedding, the bride and groom have gone to considerable expense to hire a DJ and so...they have to get their money's worth right?

And besides, who wants to chat at a wedding..better to tuck into the grub and booze
