Oh it's a scam by the borrower and "sender" of the paypal money.violet wrote: without knowing if there was enough 'paypal' money to cover it? So... not a scam, you say? Just careless?
It also violates the general rule that no one should ever loan money to an expat in Cambodia under any circumstances.

Looks like an office that he rented and the only room that's photographed is the small, uncarpeted room at the back. Assuming all he did was paint the walls black and not keep on top of tidying it, I don't see $2k's worth of damage there. A few coats of paint and a few bottles of air freshener should sort that out.
That said, there is what looks like standard TEFL garb strewn around the floor. That suggests that he's still employed? I wonder how long that will last now his name is all over the internet in this light? Professional suicide.

Sure sounds like you've been building up to a "7 Things You Should Never Do With An Expat In Cambodia" article. Sorry if I spoiled the surprise.gavinmac wrote:Oh it's a scam by the borrower and "sender" of the paypal money.violet wrote: without knowing if there was enough 'paypal' money to cover it?

Lol! I'm regrettably going to side with the dickhead khmer landlord on this. Ned had to expect the landlord would want to be compensated for the extreme manner in which the place was altered/remodeled/trashed.gavinmac wrote:The landlord posted "before" pictures on FB. It looks like he rented Ned an aquarium.
Why not just hang black material on the walls instead of painting them? That's bordering on vandalism or maybe it's soundproofing, ah yes, it probably is.spitthedog wrote:

Oh fuck, Ned's painted the walls black. Actually, I like the curved beams and big rooms; maybe I could get a deal, now that Ned the Fish has trashed the place.

BTW, those doors only have 2 key configurations.
I found out after accidentally walking into a flat 2 floors below me after unlocking the door. They only bother with 2 different Keys.
Its common all over Asia.
even in hotels.

Well this one really backfired on Ned Kelly, who far from being the victim seems to have acted as much of a douchebag as Whitlow.
How old is he? Isn't it time to grow out of the childish 'I'm a rock musician man and live my life on the edge'? No, you're not Ned. You're a grown man barely making ends meet as a tefler in Phnom Penh. Grow the fuck up and take some responsibility.
