Foreign woman bashed with rock
Foreign woman bashed with rock
We all know about the bricks being thrown at foreigners from the rich twat's Lexus, but here's a new twist.
This afternoon, an American woman was assaulted by a motodop with a rock!
The dop had ferried the woman between campuses and was paid and asked to come back at 5pm if he could.
Standard practice so far...
At 5pm, it was raining heavily, and the dop had come back, but the teacher had decided to take a tuk.
Explaining to the dop and paying him for returning anyhow, she left in a tuk.
The dop pursued the tuk, throwing rocks and damaging it.
The tuk driver pulled over and told the teacher to get out.
The dop then stopped, ran over and smashed the woman in the side/back of the head with a rock.
All in that rain storm today.
WTF?????

Are we entirely sure about this bit? Seems fishy otherwise...Tu Truely wrote: Explaining to the dop and paying him for returning anyhow

Presumably not the same case as this one, which I got on my twitter feed this afternoon:
Barang tries to pay a paltry 900 riel for a tuk-tuk journey. Driver obviously upset. I overhear, tell her she's cheap. She pays up.
I came, I argued, I'm out
I work with the woman and heard it straight after it happened.
I should have added:
The dop was paid $1 to go from Monivong to the Cambodia/Vietnam monument. a good fare.
He was paid another dollar for returning. for nothing.
He demanded $5 because she was white.

Was he paid for returning or staying and not getting any more rides? Can the woman concerned speak good enough Khmer to explain the difference?Tu Truely wrote: The dop was paid $1 to go from Monivong to the Cambodia/Vietnam monument. a good fare.

Give me a Valium, I'm getting the FEAR!
So it appears to have been a dispute about money? Hopefully the lady will be OK and has sufficient friends to return the brick treatment to this guy who would seem to be her local motodop.
Moral of the story could also be not to get involved with a motodop who carries around a bag of rocks.

Though there have been few spates of it over the years, rocks thrown/shot from Lexi at barang males for no particular reason were a rather special occurrences. But motodups bashing offending barang with a rock has always been something of a standard practice. That's one of the reasons you don't start aruments over 500 riel or get into some other face losing arguments with Khmer dups, tuktuks, taxi girls and such, because later getting hit in the back of the head with a rock as you ride or walk along is a possible result. It's happened countless times over the years. I suspect there is a bit more to the story in the OP. Could be as told, and the dup took offence for some inexplicable reason. But I suspect it was something else - perhaps he didn't get paid as much as he thought he should or there was an exchange of words or something like that.

Ah. Still, there are usually ways of handling outrageous price demands that doesn't leave the dup so angry that he bashes you with a rock. There may still be more to this story.Tu Truely wrote:I work with the woman and heard it straight after it happened.

There must surely have been some kind of underlying misunderstanding? Likely he waited outside all day and his biological moto-meter ticked on, up to the $5 region.

I know of quite a few people who've been bashed in the head with rocks by irate moto-dops. It's usually been drunk guys late at night though. Anyway, it's normal enough here for people, especially if they haven't got loads of back-up nearby, to pick up the nearest heavy object and bash someone with it. Many don't seem too keen on the fisticuffs we often indulge in after-hours back home.
