The locals all know each other and each other business. Non locals, even Khmer, stick out.
Missus’ best friend’s house got robbed a while back. Chinese gangsters followed and then cased the house. After the robbery, they got lost in the village trying to escape.
Lost Chinese gangsters in a Khmer village stick out pretty good too. They were soon caught by the police.
