Are British poor people much more likely to travel to Cambodia than American poor people?

Is this forum normally this snarky, or is everyone suffering from social isolation induced cabin fever?

Seems that the embassy has come good.
The people complaining on Facebook seem to be a bit thick. Complaints / issues raised include:
1. Is the ambassador in the county? (she has been all along) (not relavent anyway)
2. How do I get to the airport? Will I be able to stuff my pie hole at the airport? What is the baggage allowance? What meals will I be given on the flight?
3. I don't have any money (the embassy will lend it to you interest free)
4. I don't want to give up my passport as collateral for embassy loan (tough, you don't possess anything else of value and you won't be needing it anytime soon anyway)
5. I'm still in the Siem Reap, Kampot, etc (the embassy has been telling you for 2+ weeks to return to the capital, common sense would tell you that anyway)
6. I can't afford the cost of transport to the airport (embassy has provided free transport)
7. I feel like I have no options (yes, you do: stay in Cambodia and risk starvation or take your government's generous offer of assistance and go home)
I find it embarrassing watching Brits behave in such a way. But it seems to be the same handful of thickos whining on. Presumably there are dozens of more sensible Brits who had no trouble following the embassy's advice and are now well on their way home.

You forgot that they wanted frequent flyer miles. Or maybe that was the Aussies.

Everyone knows that the majority of expat 1.0 'businessmen' moved to Cambodia so they could avoid paying any taxes. That's why many of them left sharpish when the government started clamping down.logos wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 5:04 amSo you're seriously saying that taxes should help repatriate destitute Brits ? Are you for real?kungff wrote:Things like sweeping and de-icing the roads, collecting the rubbish, making sure school kids cross the street safely, repatriating their citizens when destitute,
If you're too broke and on the dole, like those council house 20something fatties with 6 screaming brats in tow and their trailer trash drunk tattooed chain smoking male counterparts, you have already been abusing the system and not paid a penny in taxes in your life.
Obviously they've got nothing to do abroad in the first place. Other people's taxes would be put to better use sterilising those people rather than subsidizing their worthless lifestyles.
And yes, money would be well spent sterilising them.
Up the workers!

Do not know what 'Expat 1.0 Businessmen' you are talking about. All the professionals that I know here - which I guarantee is more than you know - all pay their local taxes, personal and corporate.
Just like most of them, I personally have paid more in taxes over the past 19 years than the majority of Khmers have earnt during the past 19 years.
I hope that KFF is sterilised

You're not fooling anyone with your holier than thou a Cambodian expat businessman doth go.
As an employee, I've also spent a fair whack on taxes out here.
Up the workers!
It's Vietnam Air, so no!

Or perhaps you just don’t have enough talented TV hosts and producers that become global cultural icons to showcase them, like America has. Instead you have Singlet junior and Singlet senior:

Even after so many years, he's still punch drunk from the days he was mocked as one of the unwashed, worthless tefl-jobber horde.
Yes, slavedog many of us still remember you when.....
Nowadays he fancy's himself as some pseudo-erudite, man-about-town, business magnate or some such nonsense.
Don't be too arrogant slavedog....you're just a couple bad seasons away from stepping up to the whiteboard again.

He might have worked as a teacher, but that was about 12 years ago.

I'd be willing to bet he became alcohol dependent before he became homeless.Lucky Lucan wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 2:05 amI spotted this chap on a forlorn 172 this afternoon, not sure where he's from but he picked a bad time to get homeless.

One never knows when their marbles will scatter. That homeless chap could be any of us after a good hit on the head or a recessive psychotic gene kicks in. Or simply an addiction gone bad.
