  1. Hi folks, my gf is currently in bangkok for a few days searching for arts and crafts shops, as Cambo is a bit spartan in this department, 
    Can anybody point us in the right direction? maybe name or map a couple of decent shops selling anything artsy or crafty. She works at producing things so we need the tools and bits and bobs etc....

    Many thanks

    Easy to say with your feet up sucking on a coldie.

    Yeah, if you're lucky enough to do so. 
    Sadly I don't get much time for that working 7 days a week with 30-odd staff. Khmer-earned money only, btw... 
    I'm happy if I get to sink 2 beers before exhaustion and go home at night. 

     

  3. They've been released. Don't know how, but they were seen wandering the streets this morning. (a few days after formal charges were pressed) 
    :sad:

    Same girl got done for Meth supply in Sihanoukville in December. 

    These types are ruining the generally good name of Kampot, if you ask me. 

     

  4. About 15 years ago I was 21-22, pretty broke and hooked up with a 27 year old. Rented (simple) apartment. Job with Panasonic or something similar.

    Stayed together for best part of 2 years.

    Her good friend, "same same 'brother'" turned out to be her husband and she had foreign sponsor(s).]

    As others have said. Enjoy it while it lasts. It's a fun ride. But learn to let it go when the time comes.

  5. E.U. Diplomatic Missions abroad

    How many millions of tax-payers money does it cost to maintain delegations / staff / security / flights / housing and all the rest of it?

    For what purpose?

    What do the UN (who have more) not do that the EU does?

    Or our own embassies and consulates for that matter?

    What the f. do all these dimplenuts do everyday? Except live the high-life in (often poor) countries and spend our f. money?

    (By the way, I'm from the Netherlands, incase you thought I was a Brexiteer)

  6. Two British men in their thirties found dead from sudden 'heart attacks' after booze-fuelled night out in a bar in Cambodia

    • Foreign Office confirmed that two men were found dead in city of Kampot
    • Allegedly both drinking at Tiki bar night before found in different places
    • It is rumoured they had 'bad drugs' which led to suspected heart attacks
    • WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT

    Source

    two inaccuracies: neither men had a commercial interest in any businesses here.

    and the total drug-deaths is 12, not 90, which is total deaths of westerners by any cause.

    Both were friendly acquaintances of mine.

    Very sad day for Kampot.

  7. Purpose of this stupid thread?

    Idle banter, I suppose. Have you ever made polite conversation?

    Yeah, but polite conversation is what one makes.

    Not, "Hi my name is ***** and here is what my family and I spend, allow me to break it down...."

    anyway, it's unimportant, and maybe some people enjoy comparing notes with the OP.

  8. Only people who have been denied freedom will know what freedom really tastes like.

    Agreed.

    Unfortunately for Inspire's editors, the writers are terrible at laying out a clear rationale for their articles.

    But by and large I have to say I find my life to be more free out in these parts. More so in Cambodia.

    The political process here is not my concern. I thank the powers that be for allowing me to stay as a guest in their country.

    Back home, all that cr@p stresses me out. And I did try to return. Was there for 6 or so years. Started from scratch, saved, leased a pub, worked hard, did well, only to be punished for doing well. And ended up with scratch again.

    So I'll take my chance on an uncertain future in the Kingdom of Wonder.

    BTW, to Inspire Editors: Are you lot (or your writers) getting homesick. There are several of these sort-of "well, life here is ok, but I wonder what it would be like to go back?/How does it compare to home?" kind of stories lately.

    edit - PS: I really want some of that chicken

  9. I am by and large in agreement with Aweyego's stance, however to throw in my 5 baht's worth (actually Riel where I am), I think DC played his cards exactly right. The pig shagger had no desire to be in charge of the exit, and frankly who could blame him, and this is playing out like a real life house of cards. BJ, who has been anti-EU for the past 20 years, is the coward, as his victory against Europe has effectively cost him his otherwise (nearly) guaranteed tenure as Prime Minister. It's all fun & games. Long live Hun Sen.

  10. I must have visited a different Cambo to other people here,as I find Khmer girls friendly,beautiful,shapely,great lovers pretty much insatiable if Cambo had decent internet I would live there in a heartbeat,as my work relies on a stable connection!(Praying someone will tell me they have now?)

    For me they are the prettiest girls of all in South-East Asia have small noses being descended form the Indians the beautiful dark skin and yes,the holy SEA grail big boobs! used to joke that in Thailand you have to actually speak to the girls first which was a drag as Cambo girls just jump on you!Maybe I am just an extremely Hansum man as the Thai girls often tell me I don't know?If you cannot get a beautiful,fun,friendly and shapely girl in Cambo I think it's time to check your pulse,as you may not have one?

    Seriously if anyone can give me some info on decent,stable internet in PP I'd be very grateful as I've heard stories of fibre optics from Vietnam in Sihanoukville but I don't really want to live there,as I believe they've torn down all the beach bars now and the Dolphin was my favourite?

    (Yes I know it wasn't a hangout for girls studying for their Masters Degrees but it was great fun!)

    In short,some of the most beautiful women I've ever met were in Cambodia,I love the place! smile.png

    I cannot contribute to the subject of this thread, but the Internet in Kampot is blazingly good. Fibre Optic connection for $30.- a month (pay 10 months get 2 free, +free installation etc..) better than what I had in the UK (though that may have more to do with pikey's constantly nicking the cables.)
