Scammed at Larry’s Bar

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.

How dare I leave a review because I wasn’t living there for decades. Same psycho analyzing, doctor playing, navel gazing keyboard warriors. Until Srey Choppy happened.

I would assume a good owner would want to know about problems at his establishment. But how the poor OP has been crucified by members on this forum, maybe not.
I have no problem getting roasted. But there are certainly double-standards at play here. If I had made the same comment about, let's say, a Khmer restaurant not being frequented by the esteemed forum members, it would be all good. Mention a restaurant where the CEO clientele seems to be in the majority, and the pitchforks come out.

I dont think that Hanno is being roasted or the like. His standing is simply too good. They guys are all walking home with wet toes.

In consequence, the only thing the kids can do is to divert the discussion. They do not realize that they cant change the topic. So the 7th cavalry aint saving anyone but just riding their hero deeper and deeper into the mud. The more they belly dance and no real answer comes from the one who should be answering the worse for the said owner.

Would be nice to have a photo or two of the boy group sitting in the said establishment showing how they wonder what possibly could be going wrong.

While the click count generated is excellent for the forum, I am not sure that somebody near the riverside arrives at the same conclusion.

So, forward Christian soldier..... it can only get worse.

One of these positives is that now you clearly know who is who.

Where was he "roasted"? I didn't notice that part.

You took the words out of my mouth .
Sometimes good , sometimes bad but only I have to have every goddam post approved by some nerd
No darknet , no private messages , no karma points , nada ….
That's what happens when you constantly post drunken incoherent ramblings.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

They spend the majority of the time sitting outside when I’ve been there. They only come inside to mess with the television or to find the girl who is supposed to be outside servicing customers. Not sure how late they stay, never been there at closing time.

Why are you writing like this^^^^^^. Wet toes, kids, 7th cavalry. It’s like listening to conversation by someone who speaks in catchphrases…

So in that imaginary khmer restaurant you're visiting? I would have said , that you should have really checked your imaginary money before handing it over. Having imaginary drinks when you're not a big drinker addles the brain.

The staff works at least until 00.30h and if busy also later ofcourse. Kitchen closes i think midnight, but not sure. Never sit outside at the "VIP-tabel" next to the door. I like the bar just to eat on and watch some sports i dont understand at all (Cricket-Football or whatever). Sitting at the bar makes you easy client because you are next to the "source". Used to date in Spain a waitress 15 years back, and she learned me, how farther from the kitchen how worse for us. No problem to walk with food or empty plates 20 meters, but if you do 1000 trips a day, those 10 meters make a big difference. Only anoying at the bar is that often while eating someone arrives, sit next to me, and just when the food arrives lights a big fu**** cigare. But, yes, thats Cambodia; isn it ??
