Re: Four Family Members Drown on Sihanoukville Beach
The current/rips down there at this time of year are not to be trifled with. About 12 years ago around September/October time, i could feel myself start to be taken out to sea but managed to get to shore in time.
A lot of locals here will also wear jeans and tshirt in the sea which causes drag when trying to swim, the weight of the clothes makes them fatigued quicker, and the fabric restricts movement. It doesn't bode well for people who aren't experienced or strong swimmers or people who are being pulled out to sea and start panicking.
RIP
You can use your trousers as a float if needs be

If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

Probably doesn't help that most Khmers can't swim.

A friend told me about this yesterday though she said they were tourists.
The locals probably know better.
