American former Kampot and Siem Reap expat “stranded” in Suriname with Cambodian girlfriend and her kids

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. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

What I don’t get is how he managed to convince this Khmer lady to follow him and drag her kids along as well. Khmer generally talk to their family, extended family, and friends before making major decisions. The real story I want to know is how this guy managed to convince all of them of to advise her and the kids to follow him.

Anyways, I hope they all make it out safely from what sounds like a country sliding into civil war.

Awww the dangers of civil war are exaggerated. He's got the kids enrolled in top notch schools and they've already got plenty of friends. What could go wrong?

UPDATE
You will be pleased to hear that Justin and his family managed to leave Surinam safely and have returned to live in Cambodia. The family are starting a AirBnB/homestay business in the Cardamom Mountains, close to the border with Trat, Thailand. Good luck with that.
This is the message from Justin on FB today:

It looks like this guy had money the entire time? Kids just casually made $2k during the pandemic
