compare what you would get. I know people that use btc to send money from their home countries because they get a better rate. 

I havent had a power cut for about a week now. Rain has started so perhaps its over, until next year anyway.

Sounds like a wonderful alternative to Bangkok 

Phnom Penh isnt an alternative to Bangkok. Bangkok has 10 times the population, PP is more like a town

if the dictator cant even manage to keep the power and water going you either put up with it or take to the streets

Interesting that Cambodia has elected to follow Thailand's example in enforcing Lese Majeste laws.  A very potent tool for authoritarian regimes to have their way.

I note that nobody asked the king if what he said was true or not. I think the difference is, in thailand the king runs the show, in cambodia the dictator runs everything including the king

great, but theres no water coming out the tap again today. 

the money would be better spent on childhood education, teach children about washing hands and brushing teeth, and that rice and sugar isnt the miracle diet they have be told it is

Ive been in SE Asia about 15 years and the last few weeks in Phnom Penh have been the hottest so far

why would she pay the fine unless it effects her prison sentence. are they saying they will release her if she pays $20,000?

this guy is so stupid he doesnt realize that his critics power is already been cut, in fact the whole country is receiving his punishment

some people really are so uncreative and frighteningly desperate when it comes to trying to obtain money

hey hun sen, you do it your way and they do it theirs. remember, they not same you. you eat rice, they eat bread. ha ha

thats not a bribe, thats a service, maybe an illegal service but he got what he paid for. Roeun Sareth might learn something if he was arrested for paying bribes

dont they openly sell fake money in Cambodia? Ive been given it as change before. Its a hassle always having to always check money. after reading the article its seems he was guilty. Its a bit of a worry tho that the bank thought it was possible their machine gave out a fake note

Despite its long history of genocide...Buddhist,Hindu and Animism,I believe

The US has one of the most corrupt political machines on the planet. It is simply not looked at in this regard, because the biggest form of corruption is lobbying, and of course that is perfectly legal. But, it is morally, and ethically as corrupt as it gets. There is not a man or woman in national office that is honorable, in the US. And based on what we hear of this clown, there are alot of state officials that are equally corrupt. How does anyone sanction an election in Cambodia, one of the most heinous offenders on the planet? Hun Sen would do anything to maintain his power, his fortune, and his position. We are talking about a man who did serial killing for a living, not too long ago, and continues to murder his opponents with impunity, steal from the public, and live totally above the law. Not to mention a personal security detail of over 5,000 men. Anyone with that much protection has alot to be guarded about, and countless skeletons in his closet.

sounds like your standard garden variety third world tin pot dictator

Jailed for Life is neither pragmatic or cost effective!

two concerns that arent high on the list of cambodian priorities

my guess is that at least 20% are in pawn shops

really? 

in my experience. as an example, tuktuk drivers will always say they dont have the change to try and keep a little extra. 

as an aside, I wonder about the city at night quite a lot, feels dodgy but no ones ever tried anything. I dont carry anything on me tho so they wont get anything if they do

In Sihanoukville you now have to contend with possible violence from resident Chinese (or possibly Chinese tourists also) rather than locals. I read about a Brit who was severely beaten by Chinese construction workers there because he sported a pro-Taiwan tattoo and Chinese often get into fights with local Cambodians.

I will try to remember not to get a pro taiwan tattoo
