This kraut has been on the street for years. Always a pain. Never gets picked up.

There's an old Cambodian saying "loose lips, sink ships". It's not our problem.

That whole area is a cesspit, you'll see shirtless, pantless, shoeless, foreigner & local, junkies wandering/laying around at any given time of day....sometimes you'll even see them wandering all the way down 172 towards Wat Ounalom.

Can guarantee they're all overstayers who most likely haven't held a valid Visa EOS for years, probably not even in possession of valid passports either. Should all be detained and deported....but authorities just tend to turn a blind eye to them unfortunately.

I hear there's an app for snitching on fellows like this now

not that I would condone it's use

he could simply be a scruffy diabetic self administering his daily insulin, after all . .

Fear not, they have created an app to solve the problem.

There's no money in catching those guys, would be my guess. Even if they have some rich auntie in Barangland that the competent authorities could extort for the cost of deportation, what are the chances that those junkies haven't already burned all their bridges by asking for emergency money transfers again and again?

My opinion, as always, is that their home countries should pay up and then shredder their passports upon arrival back home.

The guy with the deformed leg was screaming kidnap and torture when some kind soul tried to get him to get his leg fixed.

How much luck would various embassies have getting their former citizens off the streets and flown out of Cambodia?

Back home they have their own junkies on the streets to take care of. Why would they want to import some more?

Sorry to sound so cruel and uncaring.

You should get some pics of some of those poor souls watching some video content on their phone in public without the benefit of earphones.

Smartphone addiction is what's destroying civil society.

I was living a similar(ish) lifestyle to this guy about 12 years ago, albeit in Saigon. It aint no joke. It is always possible to turn things around though. Hopefully he will have the opportunity to get clean and when this opportunity comes along he grabs it.
