You are also not the one making the rules.

So that means I cannot have an opinion?

You can, just like Cambodians. All opinions fine, let a hundred flowers blossom.

Me, as a foreigner, being under the influence of alcohol won't change anything about the Cambodian elections. If Cambodians are it actually might affect it. Big difference if you ask me.

Don't worry, you will find your booze. Nobody really cares about those regulations, you will find many back doors open and if you want to drink at home buy a few cases in advance. In fact, for many Cambodian men it's a chance to get wasted for three days in a row.

The law isn't there to stop people voting whilst under the influence, it's to stop political parties bribing voters with alcohol to vote for them = banning sales makes it difficult for the political parties to bribe voters.

Lol. That wasn't really my point, but thanks for the advice anyway.

I think its a silly rule (dry elections), but it is what it is.

One of the most depressing images I remember from the last election was walking into a bar on riverside and seeing about 15 middle aged blokes sitting around the bar all with white coffee mugs. Looked sad, ridiculous and desperate. Turned on my heels and went elsewhere for a feed.

You had a point? What was your point? In just over a month since registering, you’ve demonstrated a particular focus on alcohol, an occasional negative view on Cambodia/Cambodians, and a dig at the forum membership. All in 27 contributions. Are you struggling with something? Something that maybe a week chilling out, sans alcohol might assist with?

It's a forum about Cambodia.. What you expect me to do, write about Europe and the States?
I'm living here so I have to deal with Cambodian people. If I would be part of Russianexpatsonline I would be whining about Russians.
And btw, I maybe only posted twice about something that could be improved in Cambodia. And once about alcohol. What's your problem? Hurts to hear the truth sometimes? Maybe it's you who needs to get out of his Cambodian bubble and realize that there's different views except for the ones in the villages in the province.

So…that’s a Yes, then? Carry on.
