Looks like he's lost weight.

Not the muscle man he was 4 years ago >> general-chatter/new-chiropractor-sihano ... 10464.html

Seems to have lost that cocky smirk too.

How can this drug dealer still be in Cambodia?

May 2014 - Thailand - arrested for drug and gun possession - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-05-28/ ... ce/5484632
June 2014 - Thailand... arrested a second time, this time for drug dealing - Sentenced to 2 years.https://thethaiger.com/news/phuket/Gunt ... bail/30800https://thethaiger.com/news/phuket/Gunt ... bail/30800
2015 - Thailand - released on parole
September 2016 - Thailand - arrested for drugs again - I could not find further information on that arrest and sentence, but he was released from Thai prison and deported with a ban from re-entering Thailand for 110 years. he enters Cambodia in 2017.
July 2017 - just weeks later after arriving in Cambodia - arrested for drug dealing. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... g-ice.htmlhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... g-ice.html I believe he got 3 years for that one.
July 2020 - released from Sihanoukville prison.
September 2020 - arrested for drug dealing in Cambodia again !!



How can this guy still be in Cambodia after his earlier release from prison and not deported ?

It amazes me too. I would have thought that any of those offenses listed would lead to much heavier sentences. I don't understand why the authorities don't blacklist any foreigner convicted of a serious crime. Maybe it's not in the constitution?

Looking at these two mugs, I almost start to believe that crime doesn't pay. A few years prison, followed by a few weeks dealing drugs, rinse and repeat? Living the dream!
