Travel Vlogger 'COMMANDO BACKPACKER' Kicked Off Koh Rong

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 you’ve followed this story it’s hard not to feel bad for this guy. Hopefully he makes it out of the shit-show he’s in and makes it home safely.

I think this guy doesn't want it. He knows what to expect at home.

So i've been following this story for a while and it seems Declan is now back home in Liverpool. He posted a live video earlier on his Instagram where he filmed a house tour to promote renting out one of his Air BnB's. After reading the accusations on here, particularly regarding sneaking into rooms of females and what not it's pretty worrying that in the live video he mentions he is renting his property out for 'Strictly hen and female party's only' and if he's in the country he'll 'pop in'.

Watch the video and make your own mind up but if an Air BnB host has had these serious accusations against them, do you think Air BnB should be made aware of this?

So the latest is that he has been sectioned in the UK and is currently being held under Section 3 of the mental health act...he has been locked up for 7 weeks already. He even posted a picture of his report from the doctor confirming he has drug induced psychosis and delusions of grandure. It also said he has been walking around naked w*nking at the nurses so I'm guessing that sexual weirdness hasn't gone anywhere either! He is still convinced he is James Bond, works for the Men In Black, is going to get Oasis back together and Glastonbury put back on...the lesson here is DONT DO DRUGS KIDS! The meth and acid binge has bent his mind beyond recognition.

Get Oasis back together? Never going to happen, he has definitely (maybe) lost his mind.

I think this thread has run it's course and is now little more than voyeurism, and there are much more interesting subjects for that sort of thing.

If you check his Facebook now it shows he is back in hospital, where he clearly belongs. He was allowed leave for a few days, but obviously proved himself still to be completely off his rocker

Some people can try a toke of something every so often and put it down & forget about it.

Other people just have no 'off' switch and plunge all in.

From what i've observed with this guy, it's a lethal combination of extreme narcissism + adhd and/or being unable to have self control with the freedoms Cambodia affords
that has landed him where he is: in bedlam with psychosis.

Hopefully for his sake and his families sake he comes out of it, learns to become humble and can build a life for himself as a functioning member of society. Seems lucid enough so he has that on his side. But there is no doubt he is a risk to society in general in his present state, and there is a good chance he'll need medication for the rest of his life.

And there is no doubt in my mind that if he got loose in Cambodia again there is a good chance he'd end up a 'heart attack' statistic.
