Not what you asked but you're in a safer position by paying with a credit card, should the merchant not deliver for whatever reason.

They were nice to accommodate him. OTOH, no pilot wants a seriously unhappy passenger to remain on board, so it was a smart decision.

Well, I live there and I pay for all day to day expenses in KHR. On top of that, the prices are in riel these days in most supermarkets & convenient stores (they always were at the markets) and if you're paying in USD, some places will apply a poor exchange rate of 4200, so you'll end up paying more. So, things have changed a bit in ????????. Pro tip: - If you have a larger amount of KHR to exchange for USD in Cambodia, March is the best month, while it's October/ November for the other way around when both rates peak respectively. ACLEDA banks usually have the best rates.

Nothing in the article, so we can only guess. Something tells me they didn't know each other and the thief spotted a brazen opportunity but that's unproven as well.

It's not only happening in Thailand of course, saw an escalator that had started to "eat itself" in Phnom Penh but it will keep the spotlight on the DMK incident that the airport bosses wish would just disappear. At least nobody got hurt here. The staff prevented photo taking move is just dumb though.

Thr victim was way too trusting regarding the hotel's ability to always identify him ands the real owner through all staff changes. I could never be this trusting but tend to play "Best/worst scenario" in my head and here "worst" would always win. He's lucky he got his stuff back. The question is, how did the Singaporean know that the victim had done this?

You were offered the opportunity because it isn't going well. The shops you can see into from the street are mostly customer-free, in my experience. Take a look in Pattaya. Perhaps, even a chat or two with the owner.

This made me chuckle, how a regional issue with correctly pronouncing a consonant relegates his correct name to "also" status. Also, if you need to make a body disappear, freezers really aren't safe options. ????

An excellent decision. Btw, whatever happened to "Thaksin will definitely return to Thailand in the month of ..." ?

What's that supposed to mean? You knew the victim well?

You don't have children, do you? They move pretty fast and often don't listen. Nothing to do with poor parenting or no common sense.

Because that's impossible to do? Shoe laces, long fringy pant legs, etc. can all get stuck in there everywhere on the planet and have. "Incidents involving elevators and escalators kill about 30 and seriously injure about 17,000 people each year in the United States, according to data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Elevators cause almost 90 percent of the deaths and 60 percent of serious injuries." 40% of 17,000 = 6,800 Can check them for safety but there will likely always be accidents & malfunctions.

You're still rocking the victim blaming hard # 1. The pink roll-a-board looks perfectly fine to fit into an overhead bin of a modern aircraft. When you take a flight these days, you see even bigger ones. Why exactly shouldn't it be on the travelator? That's just a bizarre claim clutching at straws to blame her for this. - There's simply no rule like that. People use them with all their carry on luggage everyday, including premium class passengers with significantly higher allowances for carry on (which some of them exceed even because most carry on items are never checked for weight) plus those heavy bottles from duty free that airlines never have an issue with in any booked class because $$$$. - Heavy obese people use them daily, so maybe they shouldn't be on it either - if it's about weight and size. I don't think you've thought this through all the way. #2. Maybe she was using her phone but you're making assumptions and that's a no no. It's also a false one as charging it would support that she wasn't on it. #3. I thought the explanation was that an opening was created when a case wheel came off and her leg went down inside. Now, you claim her clothing might have dragged her down (and the travelator remained undamaged - or are you claiming both?). You really have to pick one theory and what we heard so far rules out your "jeans theory". Why don't you wait for more facts to be revealed before speculating?

This is just a bunch of collected info in escalator incidents that really doesn't contribute anything to what we're discussing, specifically your claim that she had caused the accidence through "negligence" ????????‍♂️

Some people here are missing the background story: "... hours after Meta's oversight board ruled that he should face a six-month ban from the platform over a video post in which he threatened to have opponents beaten." Anyway, the useful idiots - FB - weren't supposed to apply rules to him just the ones he wants to silence. https://www-buzzfeednews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/meghara/facebook-cambodia-democracy?amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQIUAKwASCAAgM%3D#amp_tf=From %1%24s&aoh=16882515641072&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.buzzfeednews.com%2Farticle%2Fmeghara%2Ffacebook-cambodia-democracy

Your view of people is rather negative, isn't it? Blaming her for her roll-a-board having a mechanical issue & calling that "negligence", stopping short of blaming her for having had luggage at all (because in the words of another poster, these things aren't designed for it & yet another "it looks rather big". What?! Have you flown much?). Is it too much to expect that even if a small plastic object gets caught by the teeth (already an unlikely outcome as it should just get pushed off and not catch) at the end, that object gets chewed up but the metal parts of a travelator remain sturdy and in place? Apparently not ????????‍♂️

"Tripping over" something often leads to people falling forward, that's all.

You can't stop people from expressing themselves more. It's for them only to decide how to live their lives. You may not like it, so take your own advice to just look the other way and get on with it.

And you would feel perfectly safe there now - that your point?

Sure, falling forward could happen but the travelator "eating her leg" in that scenario is rather unlikely, no?

Caused by <deleted>ty construction then, as these things must withstand small objects falling onto them. These saving face exercises are quite tiring. Can't ever admit it was your responsibility or even the fault of the mechanical object involved ???? Anyway, this horrific incidence plus the "great welcome" I received the last time I arrived at DMK firmed up my decision not to fly out of there on one of my next trips.

Oh dear. It's always the fault of the others, isn't it?

One time I couldn't return to Pharping, as the buses had stopped running due to upcoming elections, so I needed a place for the night and booked a $2 bed in Thamel. The check-in guy ended up coming on to me and I got upgraded to a single room (with him joining me in bed for some time as well). It was unexpected & enjoyable ???? He was extremely concerned about others finding out about his orientation and I felt for him experiencing this suffering.

I travel to Nepal regularly and oh my, being gay is still a big deal - in the negative sense of the word - there. Also, there's nothing for gay travelers, one gay-ish bar in KTM, that's it. Will be nice to see this change and people not discriminated against something they were born with.

How about you look at the chart first next time, instead of going by memory and doubting someone who was factually correct all along? ???? Plus I only have my phone at the moment and the forum is rather unwieldy there.
