Dutch Tourist PETER KLAASSEN Gets Robbed in Phnom Penh, Cambodia; TukTuk Driver Takes Him To Police Station

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Dutch Tourist PETER KLAASSEN Gets Robbed in Phnom Penh, Cambodia; TukTuk Driver Takes Him To Police Station

Post by General Mackevili »

Happened in Phnom Penh today. Sounds like he's saying he stays in a crappy guesthouse and was robbed of $300:

Ten riveting minutes of motodops discussing a barangs passport. :? :D

Sounds like he's also saying he has lost his guesthouse as well Something like "in Holland you get a business card printed with the accommodation details, here you get nothing" :lol:

I'm a bit confused though. Says his passport was stolen, but he clearly has his passport with him. Did he get it back? Did he lose his second passport?

Maybe his name is Schrödinger.

I think he's saying he left his passport, 800 euros and 300 dollars in a bag in the safe at the guesthouse. When he went back to get it two days later, he went into the toilets and checked everything​. But the money wasn't there. He also says they gave him his passport back and he knows who did it and has witnesses. Rama posted that he said he'd been drugged and robbed.He was slso going on about tuk tuk drivers and that he's been here 18 days. Who knows. Everytime he starts to explain, the camera goes off in another direction and Khmer drown out what he's saying. lol
He sounds pissed or out of it on downers or both.
Are those police or journalists he gives his passport to. Lol
In his out-of-it state, he can't remember the name of the guest house. Who does unlesss it's in English and memorable. Sok Sans is not really memorable. He was complaing that it wasn't written on the key fob. I'm sure he remembers how to get there though.
Maybe he thinks a tuk tuk took him to a guest house where he had an arrangement with the management/ staff to rob him?
See crook!!!

Yeah, it looks look he's given his passport to a group of TukTuk drivers who are as equally amused as we are, LoL.

And I was about to say "thanks for the translation," but realized it was in Engrish. :facepalm:

Now this is hilarious! Someone sent us a video of the Dutch guy the night before he went to the police station.

Why some African guy is hanging all over him is anyone's guess.

I'm waiting for more details from the expat who shot the video.
