Not bad, but I don't agree with the part about using your left hand, unless you're with Cham.

Maybe she doesn't know about bumguns ?
The one about Thailand is quite good too - don't ride the elephants, play with the tigers etc.

I'm left-handed and nobody's complained about me eating dinner. I thought the reason why no-one washes their damn hands after using the crapper was because they use the bum hose. Which is generally on the right when sitting.

The left handed issue is something that is more common in Muslim majority countries. My partner, and several of her family members are left handed, I see both left and right handed Cambodians using their left hands all the time and it is not considered rude, dirty or disrespectful, in the city or the provinces... except amongst the local Muslim population.

One can only admire the preachy effrontery of this public-spirited white broad, so thoroughly knowledgeable about
Cambodia and Thailand and so unselfishly willing to share her knowledge with us.
Let us add a few more:
Don't purchase the drugged nippers from the milk-scam women and take them to the crocodile farm to feed the giant saurians
Don't get caught with recreational drugs unless you have at least $500 in cash to pay off the cops
Don't get caught taking racy photos at Angkorian ruins (there are plenty of lesser-visited ruins for limitless hanky-panky)
Any more suggestions?
