ALERT!!! Young US vlogger "almost trafficked" in Siem Reap

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.

Lol, well....he's young.

He has about 50k subscribers though so good for him I suppose.

He's making up to $20 thousand USD a year from You Tube income plus his funds from e-begging but if that video is anything to go by I'd rather watch paint dry or to really torture myself listen to Aaron in Cambodia speaking in Khmer.

The description on his YT About page says:
"I travel the world and film it. Trying to show that traveling isn’t as scary as most people think! "

'Traveling isn't scary'???
That was terrifying, getting scammed like that!
Aaaand, aaaand, get offered sex and drugs!
He should have called the police!

Totally put me off going outside ever again.

Maybe this "YouTube star" should have installed Grab or PassApp on his phone. Next.

Offering ladies to him was outrageous though. From the looks of it, that's the last thing he'd be interested in.

What’s bugging me is I could swear that ‘Batman’ tuk tuk driver in Siem Reap is my old driver from PP.
But his tuk tuk has a metal guard that his didn’t have and he looks rougher than when I knew him - but poverty from lean COVID years could explain his location and appearance. He was a good guy.

Other than that, there’s actually something compelling about the way the blogger presents. His video is well done. He gets scared a lot, doesn’t he. Haha
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Just wonder how many other tuk tuk drivers won't get fares anymore, thanks to that scum driver.

The Cambodian experience of yesteryears sure has gotten watered down.

He’s with a friend from Thailand in the video, you’d think he’d know a bit more about these things already. Or maybe he plays the role of scared newbie for more views.

Besides the crying about the driver the video wasn’t too bad. Not necessarily exciting for an expat but I could see the interest if I was also a newbie.
