Most shocking/weirdest/ stories from Tbong Khmum Province.

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.

Does anyone else get kissed by beggars, or am I just really sweet ? Or is this an obscure SV custom that I didn't know about ? :oops:
There's a member here that's always asking people to kiss his asp, so I think it's got something to do with living in the villages.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

It literally translates as Amber. However, some people on forums dispute this as apparently there is no amber in that area.

I wasn't asping for it, if that's what you're getting at. ;)
