Cyclo Driver Lived and Died on the Streets of Phnom Penh
Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): on December 31, 2020, an unidentified man aged about 50 years old, was found dead in his cyclo, in front of SLL tour company, Preah Monivong road, Sangkat Monorum, Khan Prampi Makara, Phnom Penh.
Local people in the area all knew the cyclo-man - every day at 6am he would go out to look for customers, and every night he came back to the same spot at 7pm to sleep in his cyclo.
Then this morning, 31 December, when people saw that the cyclo was still parked at the scene at 7am, they went to check on the driver. When they tried to wake him, they saw that he had passed away, so they called the police.
The body was taken to keep at the pagoda, waiting for the family to claim it for the funeral ceremonies. RIP.

Sad but at least they cared enough to check in him. Would probably be there for several days in a western country.

RIP. Those guys are last of a dying breed unfortunately. Most live extremely rough lives, but they're friendly and genuine. Some of the faces of the older guys near the riverside are the most beautiful I've seen ever. Old school leaf cigarettes sticking out of the corner of the mouth, weathered wrinkled faces, but somehow very beautiful. Reminds me of a street painter in Russia who said he much preferred to paint men. All women wanted was for you to make them look beautiful, so he enjoyed trying to make the character and life experience of men come out of their faces. As an artist it was more interesting vs pure beauty. I find it always rings true when I go by those guys. Some have seen a lot... I think there used to be an organization that sort of helped them out.
