A lot of these seem to me unnecessarily exposing valuables and drawing attention to yourself.
But what about straightout muggings i.e. where you are not visibly carrying anything of value and yet you maybe stopped by 2- 3 people and threatened if you don’t hand over your valuables in your pocket or even worse you are threatened at gunpoint?
Is this type of crime happening in Phnom Penh yet and if so how often does it happen ?
