journalist searching for scandinavian stories about homelessness in Cambodia/Thailand

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.

Went to Cambodia, couldn't handle the freedom, missed flight home, ran out of funds, missed the next flight bought by relatives because drugs, now begging from locals.

There you go just add a fictional name and some drama.

Come to think of it, I did see a Western women holding a begging sign written in Khmer at the Mao Tse Toung/Great Duke (Great Joke, old Intercon) Hotel junction just yesterday. That's the only lead I've got, no idea if she was Scandinavian, but she didn't have blonde hair.

I'd recommend looking around Toul Tompoung and/or Kampot, that's where I've tended to see begging by Westerners.

I take it your Swedish is better than your English, and you're a freelance.

There is apparently a homeless expat female named Jenny who hangs around hostels in 172 street area in Daun Penh... Has had some interesting adventures.

That's not at all fair, she can look after herself.

If it's the same person she's been around for years, Polish or Eastern European.
