This is less far out; the hypothesis that the moniker Choup Somlap is a reference to Kem Lay's fables. https://www.cambodiadaily.com/news/moniker-a-morbid-fit-for-kem-leys-fables-115550/ “All the names in his fables were references to the people in the government, and I think using ‘Chuop Samlap’ a...

I was told a lot of it was Chinese, piped through early cable TV. Russian market used to be(?) the place to get on it VCD I was told. Those portable VCD/CD plyers were cheap back then, $6 iirc. VCD's were around 3-4000R. A guy in No 9 was telling me they used to play it on the TV in there. Unfortuna...

Do you walk around drunk all the time? Are they all in fact legendary "Top Blokes"?
EDIT Damn I should have quoted Scobienz as he deleted his post about how wonderful the KOW's business men and LJ are. IHO.

Of course being a successful businessman is a good thing. What a ridiculous comment. Success in business creates wealth for you, your family, the people you employ and their families, not to mention the shops you and they in turn spend their extra money in. Oh, and it provides a product or service ...

I never set up a business. I built a small house with lot of space around it. Let me get this right. You have never set up a business in Cambodia. You have never had a dozen Khmer families reliant on your business skills for their survival. You have never paid Cambodian taxes. You have never held a...

Worst season in 10 years? Maybe for some. Not for me. Seeing as 27 new places have opened up that back street in the last 6 months, I expect you may be involved in nos.6 or and /or 8? I cut out of Otres after only 6 months because of the amount of people that wanted to settle there and make a busin...

Italian expat commits suicide, dismembers himself and posts body parts?

I sometimes wonder whether there's actually something in the psyche of many khmer's that makes them want to cut across other motorists or pedestrians with an inch to spare, with such regularity? Maybe a sort of repressed anger/attention whore/risk taking/death wish thing? That reminds me of the par...

Are you saying that self-immolation should only be used to stop war (as in the case of the famous photo from Vietnam that did a lot to change InOp) and never to start it? You completely misinterpreted Thích Quảng Đức's 1963 self-immolation. He was protesting Diệm's persecution of Buddhists, not the...

The gruesome moment a mourner slices his arm with a RAZOR BLADE at the funeral of a Cambodian anti-government figure who was gunned down as he drank coffee Very very bad example, and IMO this should not be publicized. When a young monk tried self-immolating at a CNRP rally back in 2013, the people ...

I personally want to go on record as stating the following: The Global witness article appears to me to be complete muck raking. Many of the Khmer's with half a brain have managed to amass considerable fortunes since over the past 20 years or so. Much of it has to do with land which was considered ...
