Why wouldn't you move to Cambodia?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

I had already read the Phnom Penh Post's Police Blotter many times before I decided to move here. I picked up a load of back issues from the 90s a while back. I haven't read many but there was much crazier stuff going on then - way more serious weaponry was around for a start. However there seem to be a lot more freaky stories coming out in the past while.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Not enough crime protection perhaps ?

I considered Las Vegas for a while until i started reading the news from there and opted for Cambodia instead.

Either CEO really does get the worst of the worst news stories, or https://www.travelsafe-abroad.com/countries/ is full of crap.

A few selected scores that jumped out at me (100=safest):

Iceland 95
Japan 83

Belgium 70
Cambodia 66

France 64
Portugal 57
Taiwan 54

Philippines 47
Russia 34
Pakistan 26
Yemen 10
