In the 90s NK Embassy guys used to be used as goons by the Taiwan mafia here lead by Chen Chi Li, who died in 2008 or so. They used to bang up SK and Chinese businessmen here all the time...I would hazard to guess things are not that different today.Harold wrote:@Felgerkarb: Do you have any information on this subject?

Links between South Korea and Cambodia are strengthening and so there are indications of more inward investment. We have seen the South Koreans visiting Siem Reap by the coach load.
It would seem money well spent, by the North Koreans to create a little disharmony. Even if it is just rumour or at the expense of a few South Korean tourists, who dare step out of the confines of their well shepherded tours.
It has long been mooted by the North and South that some of the South's production could take place in the North. This would suit both, if they could find a way forward but Cambodia might also provide that less regulated, cheap production area.....

Nothing but an opinionated tourist. The Pope spends more time in countries than I do ! It is also not my place to comment on a gentleman's dress. A real 23 minute wonder, that obviously knows little about ovens and cooking in Cambodia.

Don't forget that NK and Cambodia have had very close relations until recently. Sihanouk and Kim Il Sung were good friends, Kim built a palace for Sihanouk in Pyongyang. The King's bodyguard unit are all NKs and have been for over 50 years.

The NK embassy still isn't paying rent or utility bills.

They did have the Kaesong Industrial Zone operating from 2002 till earlier this year.EdinWigan wrote: It has long been mooted by the North and South that some of the South's production could take place in the North.
Are they still around? There seem to be conflicting reports:Felgerkarb wrote:The King's bodyguard unit are all NKs and have been for over 50 years.
When Sihanouk returned to Phnom Penh in September 1993, after United Nations-led mediation to end Cambodia’s civil conflict, he arrived with 35 North Korean bodyguards, commanded by a general from Kim Il-sung’s presidential guards. They are still there, now guarding Sihanouk as well as the new king, Sihanomi, who is not as close to North Korea as his father, but has paid at least one visit to Pyongyang.

http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/featur ... 16046.htmlAs a gesture of friendship, Sihanouk broke off relations with South Korea. In 1970, when the prince was overthrown in a coup, Kim built him a palatial residence north of Pyongyang. Between 1991 and 2004 Sihanouk was also protected by a squad of granite-faced North Korean bodyguards - another gift from Kim.
The relationship has faded since the death of Kim in 1994 and Sihanouk in 2012, but an echo remains. The North Korean embassy still occupies a prime plot in Phnom Penh next door to a mansion belonging to Cambodia's prime minister, Hun Sen.
I found this interesting about the DPRK embassy:
To express his gratitude for the assistance Kim Il Sung gave to him during the two exile periods, Sihanouk decided to
give Teaksin Phirom, his mother’s house where he lived during his childhood, rent-free to be used as the North Korean Embassy in Phnom Penh.

It is quite possible the NK bodyguard unit was disbanded after Sihanouk's passing, although losing free access to Cambodia by intelligence and combat trained goons would be a stupid move on their part.

So, all this could indicate why North Korea, might have cause to feel a little unhappy by the larger presence the South in the Kingdom?

The NKs and SKs have been dancing around each other here in Cambodia for decades. While the overt SK investments have been growing, I would guess the covert side of the NKs has been increasing as well as a counterbalance. It is the way those two have acted world over.

The words smart, keen, clever or intelligent don’t come to this old man’s mind when thinking about the DPRK and Kim Jong-Un. I should be careful here, but what the hell. The first thing that came to me when I saw his photo was; this young fellow needs a couple of Big Macs, three orders of Biggy fries, four 500ml diet Coca-Colas and a fist-full of paquetes de catsup.Felgerkarb wrote:It is quite possible the NK bodyguard unit was disbanded after Sihanouk's passing, although losing free access to Cambodia by intelligence and combat trained goons would be a stupid move on their part.
