What's up with Sihanoukville lately?
Does anyone have any insight as to why they seem to be drawing a hardline on the foreigners/overstayers lately? With the Russian dude it's obvious, but aside from that it seems like something's changed, when nothing has changed with the powers that be.
I've spent lots of time in the KOW and have never been asked for my papers.
Same is true with the work permit stuff. I'm curious what the end game is here, as they obviously don't care about the people.
I am surprised none of these expats were able to cough it up and buy the visa post shakedown. Surely that would be cheaper for them. Unless it wasn't an option, which seems impossible.

You can blame the Kazantip Festival for your good fortunes. The new guy installed after the failure of the last one to prevent crime... has led to a certain zealotry in pursuing duties when it comes to illegals in SHV... about time too.

That makes sense.
They should have organized it in Pattaya, seems like a better fit.
I'm surprised they even bothered pushing back on the Russians. It says a lot when they're turning away tourist$ of any kind.
Cheers

Things have been way too anarchic down there for way too long, and the recent events with foreigners (whether Russian/Turkish/whatever) getting into all sorts of quarrels and disregarding the law brought things to a head. The police chief was replaced, and the new chief has been given clear orders to clean up the place. So far it seems to be working. Keep your nose clean and your documents in order and you should have nothing to be concerned about.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Until they run out of people to arrest and start planting evidence to maintain their track record like on Khaosan.John Bingham wrote:Keep your nose clean and your documents in order and you should have nothing to be concerned about.

planting evidence is the oldest trick of corruption. its as old as the oldest profession in the world. maybe older.

Yeah I don't get that much either, it can't be past crimes because they got in in the first place. And they don't all seem to be wanted back home which would make a new passport when expired difficult. If you're going to stay long term then you must have some sort of funds, does 0.75 cents to a dollar a day really make a difference given the risk or consequences when caught. I can understand the snowball financial effect once they make the decision but why make that decision in the first place.Jamie_Lambo wrote:im surprised at the amount of people overstaying their visas, theyre not hard to extend
I'm just surprised at the numbers they're pulling in, must be taking the laid back lifestyle to the extreme and be in a permanent state of apathy.

The govt is letting snookie fall to shit and once nothing is left but crumbling buildings they will sell off the land to developers to build hotels and resorts.
