It's possible that by virtue of having been selected by a barang for marriage, one's Khmer wife may have been learned about civilized, rational thinking and care of others. The same is not true of Cambodians in general.
And to the handful of posters who say not all Cambodians are evil, thieving and ungrateful, that's the reason they're called GENERALIZATIONS! Nobody, myself included, is saying every Khmer, or Chinese, is a certain way. It's just that the prevalence of those that are seem to make it feel that way.

Re: What Can We Do?
I have been living in Cambodia for nearly twelve years now, and Cambodia is far from perfect.
But if someone slags of all Cambodians saying:
