American Private Investigator in Cambodia Needs Money for Food

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. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Send toilet paper ?
Or maybe the US Embassy could assist him to go home. 8-)
Moreover there is not much need for toilet paper whereas that in SEA WC's are equipped with mini-bidet, so the water spray device will clean your poop you should not have to use toilet paper to wipe yourself clean.
Bet you 20 bucks he needed a bucker and ladle due to not having a bum gun and didn't realize it
@Darkcel ok, who are you betting with and how will victory be known and who gets the twenty spot?
90% of Barang living here or in Thai or.... normally use the ass -shower after couple of weeks .. So this guy for me is probably a scammer and/or a junkie.

US has food stamps, CHIP, section 8 housing, free cell phones, etc. Then there’s always the local churches giving a helping hand. And the shelters as well.

What social net does Cambodia have? Without family nearby, there is none.

Well, for Cambodians at least, they can commit any number of crimes and get off without as much as a slap on the hand, but it may be difficult to avoid the compulsory 'We police are serious about crime, so best not try' photo as they stand next to police.

Not if you have a US PayPal account linked to a PayPal cash card or debit card. That MasterCard debit card can be extremely useful for Americans as they are the only ones qualified to get that card.

There but for the grace of god etc etc. Must be tough to have mates overseas, when you are homeless and starving the best they can come up with is $15. Can't send money? One day they will invent Western Union to solve that problem.

Having survived in this 'closed down country' ever since the pandemic started without help from outside makes me feel like a real Seal Survivor after reading this thread.

I think there must be some other way too because my Khmer teacher takes PayPal and they’re not American.

Also who sets up as an expat PI without having some way to get paid other than cash? Seems like if I were going to run a business aimed at foreigners I’d be set up to take Visa/MasterCard.
