I went to Cambodia for the weekend, my view today from an Island near Sihanoukville , many dead bodies have washed up here over the last two years. Amazing island, Kaoh Tang. A few dead bodies were found here a few weeks ago I was told. Lots of Violence, murders and kidnappings now in Sihanoukville , now that Chins is open, the amount of people at these casinos is astounding, the place is packed, KTV's going all night, flooded with Chinese mafia. It is just amazing to me, no ATM's in the casinos and none take credit cards to stay. everything is cash. I took a private boat here for a few hours. Sihanoukville is an adult playground, it gets going from 12am-5am, the streets are fun but not for everyone , you won't see any westerners roaming around, but me.

Armed assaults, although increasingly rare, may occur in Phnom Penh and on isolated beaches in Sihanoukville. Canadians have been injured during assaults and armed robberies.
Thieves, sometimes on motorcycles, grab bags and other valuables (including passports) from pedestrians, motorcycle drivers and motorcycle passengers.
Firearm ownership is high, and guns are often used in cases of robbery and personal dispute or disagreement, including those involving foreigners. Personal belongings have been stolen from locked rooms, particularly in low-cost accommodations. Items have been removed from luggage stored in the luggage compartments of buses, especially on the journey between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.
Banditry poses a risk, particularly at night, in rural areas and on routes between Snoul, Kratié and Stung Treng in the northeastern provinces. Foreigners have encountered difficulties with ill-disciplined police and military personnel.
- Exercise a high degree of caution at all times
- Avoid travelling alone, especially at night
