First: why wait 3 days to post the 'incident' here?

Furthermore, if it happened the way described (incl. Cambodians complaining) there should be some video of this incident. Don't tell me Cambodians (or tourists for that matter) don't immediately get their phone's camera running when something like described happens right in front of them and put it on their Facebook account.

Then, there's no complaint on the Facebook page of said boat company: https://www.facebook.com/Sethbo-boat-to ... 890210342/

And on top of all that, OP apparently poses as 'a tourist'. So why is OP also interested in renting a property in Phnom Penh (and by the way, posting that within 40 minutes of the original post at the top of this thread)? See here: post414572.html#p414572

I have a feeling there's something going on, not being told...

You think we are secret spies trying to defame Sethbo Boat Tours? Not all tourists discover this website to report the matter immediately. Those other millions of tourists who did or did not film the incident must be co-conspirators to defame Sethbo Boat Tours too for not posting or reporting this incident IMMEDIATELY online everywhere. You must have been there that late night and never even reported it online. What is your excuse for not filming or reporting it?
Interests in properties must be very important in determining the veracity or doubts on this case too. Highly suspicious, of course. Tourists can never be interested in properties? Your job with FBI must have gotten you a promotion to Cambodian Expat Investigator trying to find out dark hidden secrets behind the case. Maybe you having a high temperature now? Found anything more suspicious in the darkness of your mind?

It's really a non story. Things have become pretty boring in Cambodia with the lockdown. What a shit post.

Since I started travelling to Thailand, & SE Asia nearly 10 years ago, all I have read is about how you don't get involved in confrontations with local people, no matter what they have done or what has happened.

This acceptance by mainly ex-pats & long term visitors (it seems) that you do nothing to help/ protect anybody else & don't get involved, no matter what the provocation or situation is or how much you've been scammed for, sits very uneasily with me. Why would you turn your back on something you know is wrong ?

The reluctance to do the right & honourable thing no matter what happens, just seems morally wrong, Hide behind your curtains and pretend you haven't seen anything modern selfish generation

Accepting that local people will routinely attack & scam foreigners, and pretending they haven't noticed a thing is a sign of the way they live their often solitary "I'm alright" lives

If they were say in the UK or USA perhaps, and saw an old lady being mugged, would they still pretend they hadn't seen anything ?

You do wonder
