"Solo Drink Man", Australian MARK COUTELAS Arrested for Drug Trafficking in Kampot

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.

You're right about his age. He's 60.
The Khmer news has it wrong https://postnews.com.kh/local/568249

However, I can't agree with you that he's doing fine for his age. Looking like a junkie, more like.

Dealing 101 isn't necessary if you're dealing to support your own habit.

Earlier topic on this doofus - general-chatter/new-chiropractor-sihano ... 0464.html general-chatter/new-chiropractor-sihano ... 10464.html
Well, I for one think Mark Coutelas looks damn good for being 60 and being in and out of third world prisons for drugs over the years. Based on his history, he'll be out again in 2022, tell everyone he's drug-free and turning a new leaf, and then he'll get arrested again in early 2023. The only substance it looks like he's succesfully kicked is Dianabol.

Ha, meant in the case of him looking OK for a 70 year old if he was.
