Cambodia Expats Online: Forum | News | Information | Blog

Heads up people. 2 drink spiking's down on the beach ( late at night/early morning of course) in the last 2 nights.
1 involved an expat. He was spiked and followed home ( he went home on his own btw). They broke into his bungalow and while he was comatose on the bed, hack sawed the hinges off his safe and stole everything in there. It was a substantial loss. This one was obviously a little more then just a taxi girl ripoff.
The 2nd was last night, a young tourist staying at the G/H I am currently working at. Luckily for him, his friends came home just in time to stop the robbery in progress. This one appeared to be just a taxi girl ripoff.
I won't mention the names of the bars that may the incidents may have happened in. I don't think I need to tbh. We all know them.
Business owners, make sure you warn your guests about the dangers of the beach at night please.

What percent of "I was drugged" stories in Cambodia do we think are actually true?

I'm at least willing to buy the expat's story who had his safe hacked open.

While I agree with your point, in both these cases I will state 100% no exaggeration or bullshit was involved. The expat ( one of my best mates) doesn't do hard drugs at all and the young blokes story checks out with what his 3 travelling partners say.

Not naming the bars where these incidents happened, doesn't really help anybody who doesn't know them to be fair.

If the staff of the bar are involved, then the bars should be named in my opinion

the main bars on the beach dont have anything to do it tbh, most of the staff are backpackers

Nothing but trouble down there > midnight. Best to be drinking elsewhere.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure not to go to those bars that we all know!

I wanna be spiked with ecstasy and cannabis.

There are only 2 bars on Occheuteal open after 2am. They have been mentioned on inumerable threads on both forums, in the papers, on T.A on FB. Both bars were visited by both people. I don't feel its fair to name them both if only 1 was involved and neither victim can pinpoint exactly when or where the spikings took place. But if you have EVER had anything at all to do with Sihanoukville, you know which bars I'm talking about. If not, why do you care? You will be warned about them on your first day in town by many people anyway.
