Is that old Khmer woman with the black glasses still sitting and begging at the Riverside Boulevard, at the end of the Boulevard, not too far away from Psar Chas?
I always gave her some money but at the moment I'm not in Phnom Penh.
Many years ago she was regularly walking along Sisowath Quay with a young boy in front of her but since a few years she has her own spot near the river.
Please do me a favor and give her some change. If you're able to speak Khmer I'd also like to know her life story but that's maybe a bridge too far.
Thanks in advance.
Old woman with black glasses at the Riverside Boulevard.
Should we have a contest and guessing game as to who this new poster is ?
I refuse to go out with nothing more than a whimper followed by a small farting sound and a shit stain on my bed sheets..
Just thought I'd share that with you.

She was probably rounded up and dumped in a re-education center. Them's the breaks.

Forget it man. When I was hanging at the Riverside area pagoda where the wealthy and alike come to pray for good fortune and shit...not the same woman, but she adopted or borrowed about 8 young children less than 6 years old sitting nearby the pedestals where put your incenses in. The amount she got daily was probably 50 times more than typical construction workers make a day...the security guards usually tell them to go home after 8pm....now Siem Reap is catching up...the 'mom' holding a fragile infant begging for money all day and night long. We, the Seam Reapers know this long ago. The locals arent stingy providing them food and stuff, but its easy money for them doing it.
EVERYONE BOW DOWN TO HIS MAJESTIES phat kunthea™

There are three of them camped out on the bridge between night market and old market/Pub street in SR. I don't think they even bother to beg. Just sit there and look pitiful for all the tourists.
Don't worry, be happy.
