I thought Ken Cramer (LTO), who passed away in 2016, was the Canby Publications owner though...did this Ken Long buy Canby?

Ken Long – well known in Phnom Penh expat and tourism circles as the publisher of the “Canby Guide” – is reported to have died in Phnom Penh.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

A brief digression from the sad news:Albror wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2023 3:36 am RIP
Death by falling in the bathroom is not such a uncommon occurance. When i shower and the floor is wet i walk really really carefully like a couple inches per step, for a reason. Those slippery tiles here are not to play with and certainly not if you slip and hit the back of your head on them or god forbid one of the sharp edges used to keep the water inside the shower.
The bathroom is the most dangerous room in the home. Mine has multiple anti-slip mats, with suction cups on the underside, on the shower floor and outside the shower. An absolute must. They are easily found in many shops and not at all expensive.
From the US CDC via Seattle Times, back in 2011:
Headline: The most dangerous room in the home
https://www.seattletimes.com/life/lifes ... -the-home/The smallest room in the house can be a dangerous place.
According to the [US] Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year about 235,000 people over age 15 visit emergency rooms because of injuries suffered in the bathroom, and almost 14 percent are hospitalized.
More than a third of the injuries happen while bathing or showering. More than 14 percent occur while using the toilet.
Injuries increase with age, peaking after 85, the researchers found. But injuries around the tub or shower are proportionately most common among those 15 to 24 years old and least common among those over 85. People over 85 suffer more than half of their injuries near the toilet.

I forgot all about until it happened to me
i did fall back and crack my head open one time a few years ago ,
it was a shock and my apple watch went nuts !
Then I got giant non slip rugs and wear regular shoes
.. slip ons with non skid soles in the house all the time .
They are my indoor shoes .. that solved that problem for me
Think “ shower shoes “ when you are in a fancy hotel

I haven't had any major slippages in a bathroom just yet, but I've had my share of slipping down wet stairs after it's been raining, which wasn't something I made a habit of doing back home. Can't remember if stairs back home were usually protected from slippages, perhaps rubberised around the edge in some way or not, but I've carried many bruises and dislocations from the attack of the wet stair here in Cambodia.
What a tragic story for a clearly very likeable fella.
RIP.

In Cambodia they often use the pretty (slippery) tiles for floor & stairs. Beware, especially when wet.xandreu wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 3:49 pm I haven't had any major slippages in a bathroom just yet, but I've had my share of slipping down wet stairs after it's been raining, which wasn't something I made a habit of doing back home.

I've had too many close calls and had a few friends have nasty falls in the bathroom. I finally just covered the entire floor with a non slip mat.ExPenhMan wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 3:04 pmA brief digression from the sad news:Albror wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2023 3:36 am RIP

This is probably a stupid question but do you have to stick it to the floor with something, or does it just stick automatically?
Once you've read the dictionary, every other book is just a remix.

Looks like a mat I have. Just lay it down, doesn’t move in the shower. Can be pulled up for the occasional cleaning.
