Re: How to Help Lone, Lost Western Woman in Phnom Penh ?
From a comment on CEO's Facebook page:
'Just saw her near stop tephan and stopped. She's from Russia and speak quiet good English. Her boyfriend is just 2 blocks further and doing the same thing. (4 months in PP already) stay in 3$ guesthouse and as soon as the borders a open, they want to travel Vietnam as it would be cheaper.. She said they're doing this already for the last 4 years and have no intention to work for their money _ it's their lifestyle.... Not really much sympathy for that from my side, but she got the 3 bucks for one night hostel from me...'

Isn't standing on street corners holding a sign saying 'need money for travel' work of sorts? It can be a hostile world for begpacker too..She said they're doing this already for the last 4 years and have no intention to work for their money _ it's their lifestyle....

She doesn't want a job, just money. Sometimes things are exactly what they seem to be.She carried a sign which was written in Khmer :"I travel without money and have no place to go".

Begpackers are trash. Any money given to them is money that could be supporting those local people who are living in dire poverty instead of supporting people who are privileged enough to travel.
Cambodia: where money can buy you absolutely anything except intelligence.

She have delusion. She doesn't want job but has one anyway standing on street corner begging for money. Maybe easy money..I don't know.. but I would think degrading lifestyle. From what she say, they choose to do this right? They are not victims of circumstances then.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 9:51 pmSir Stephen wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 9:36 pmIsn't standing on street corners holding a sign saying 'need money for travel' work of sorts?

A kind Khmer needs to give them a new sign stating exactly that.General Mackevili wrote:...have no intention to work for their money _ it's their lifestyle....
Then everyone Khmer and foreigner know exactly where they stand.
And whether or not to support their lifestyle.
On a related note, how do members feel about staying with a dedicated begpacker?
Staying out all day and night begging, then sleeping in a bed next to you?

Now that somebody has talked to her and found that out, I am with you others. I have no interest in helping her.General Mackevili wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 9:23 pm She said they're doing this already for the last 4 years and have no intention to work for their money _ it's their lifestyle....
It is by talking to people, you find these things out.

Re: How to Help Lone, Lost Western Woman in Phnom Penh ?
whilst I personally dont like any kind of begpacker we should all be as tolerant as to let everyone live his own lifestlye. There are so many dis-behaviours of foreigners in the KOW, this surely isn't the worst.
work is for people who cant find truffles
Re: How to Help Lone, Lost Western Woman in Phnom Penh ?
So because other people are doing things that are not right, we should tolerate anything people do that is not right. Are you crazy?truffledog wrote: ↑Thu Jun 18, 2020 3:15 am whilst I personally dont like any kind of begpacker we should all be as tolerant as to let everyone live his own lifestlye.

What a lot of people like this don't realize, is that they may be locked up in immigration detention until someone pays for a ticket to their home country.
It seems they have got away with it until now because they keep moving around. Sooner or later they will get the attention of the authorities.
