I was wondering if this was actually going to be related to some old event from a while back, which has only just been brought to their attention. Resurrecting old obscure topics online seems to be an internet wide problem. Or maybe Monkey-human interactions are increasing? It’s not a new phenomenon.
It might explain the exceptional vague statement- caution while getting the facts together.

I would have thought the diplomats manual would suggest saying nothing until you know all the facts and then say nothing unless you absolutely have to. When the subject matter is primate on human fellatio, this might be one to say nothing. A 'holding' statement, like the one they have made, makes it harder for them to say nothing later.

You and I are relics of an era when what we think made sense.

I’ve no idea if that article in the Thaiger that I linked to is the matter of concern. It’s the most recent news article that I found that might generate sufficient discussion. Albeit, it’s in English, not Khmer, and it’s a Khmer language topic around a video on Facebook that seemingly has prompted British expats to contact the embassy.
According to the person responding as the Ambassador, the statement is to assure those that have seen the video that they’re looking into it.

The other half has a habit of sending me links to Facebook discussions about stuff that is two/three weeks old and already reported here as CEO news. It would not come as any surprise to find that people are getting bent out of shape over something that happened last year.

It could be some pissed and angry old git slagging off the government while walking along Riverside with his selfie stick. The all-seeing eye of the cyber unit saw it and now he languishes in Prey Sar. And everyone else missed it due to his lack of friends and followers. Sounds more plausible that a blowjob by a macaque.

Insufficient friends and followers, but generated 500k views, some excitement on FB, and prompting enough concerned people to contact the embassy to warrant a statement…

I’m actually still expecting this to be some old news that, in the way that Facebook can, has become ‘relevant’ simply because it’s being talked about now.

That no one on CEO, let alone resident Brit’s, has offered any genuine enlightenment speaks volumes as to its potential to be ‘nothing to see, here’.
It may be that the person previously responsible for writing the UK foreign office travel advisories has been promoted.

All the above is speculation that seems to have got derailed after the third wild guess, "Maybe it's this video in Thailand?" Huh?

Lost me 100% Not a clue what you guys are talking about ...

Short recap-

Apparently, there’s a video on Facebook, involving a British male.
The video (dialogue?) is in Khmer.
It’s generated some considerable interest.
Prompting the UK embassy to issue a vague notice.
A thread on the subject has been started, here
asinine-arena-enter-your-own-risk/vague ... 56726.html

The clue as to why no one has posted a link is because nobody so far knows what video has caused all of the excitement
