A Civil war that Sochua Mu managed to avoid pretty well. Like many SRP members, she spent all that time in France. Part of the reason the current government are the way they are has to stem from the fact that they spent the last 40 years in brutal conditions, and under embargoes and attack from the...

Thats the problem with many foreigners here, they see another foreigner in a big car, they think "Oh, a smart, successful, hard-working individual", they see a local in a big car, they think "Oh, another stealing, corrupt ,murderer." On the contrary, we see a foreigner in a big car, and it's "there...

The tourist arrivals from the respective countries are not divided by nationalities So the take-home seems to be that japanese and korean numbers (who probably are japanese, and korean) have dropped sharply, and a lot of other visitorrs have decided to come through vietnam, rather than thailand. Ma...

It's not totally clear from that article if the "visitors from thailand" are actually thai, or just people coming into cambodia from thailand. I know it says "vietnamese arrivals", but I wonder if they actually mean "vietnamese nationals". Just a quick add of the numbers (c. 250k from vietname, thai...

What a crock of shit. Why on earth shouldn't tourists be friendly to the street kids? Is it OK if you're a woman, or a couple, but not if you're a guy? Especially an older guy? What about a gay couple? WTF. Personally I also find old men having a joke with those kids a little uncomfortable, but that...

Crazy as the traffic is in the city, it is at least mostly low-speed jostling craziness. Sure parked motorbikes will be wheeled out right in your path. Cars will drive directly at you on the wrong side of the road in order to make a turn, or just stop dead in front of you when the driver spots a fri...

I'm guessing the journalist in question had a by-line all over those articles, so why is his name omitted here? The press have huge power, and therefore responsibility, but unfortunately very little accountability. This case sounds like not mere bias, but outright falsification and abuse of power. I...

An irony of course is that while thousands of families are relocated to isolated, unimproved tracts which offer little, bazillions of new shophouses constructed for speculative purposes during the boom sit vacant. Yes, pretty sickening. What adds to the irony is that a huge proportion of land in ca...

Labourers get 10,000 a day plus rice plus accommodation on-site. No they don't. Or, if you're paying that much, let me know and I can send a few villages-worth to you. Things are definately very tough for the average khmer -you really can't get much more than bone-rice-soup on $50/month, and many o...
