A guy on his first day in Phnom Penh has decided the city is dangerous at night. He filmed this while walking around alone with his phone and camera out. The tuk-tuk driver asleep in his tuk-tuk isn’t homeless. Most drivers come from the provinces, and sleeping in the vehicle is how they afford to work in the city at all. It’s normal. So is the man who pushed a couple of tables together to sleep, and the security guard dozing outside the hotel. People getting through a night shift. Begging and rough sleeping are real here and nobody who lives here would say otherwise. But a first-day visitor filming the nightlife he just called very good, then calling the same streets dangerous, is telling you more about himself than about Phnom Penh.

Chinese Party Villas Overran a Pattaya Estate and the Neighbors Are Filming Residents of a Pattaya housing estate shared CCTV of a man standing in front of a villa, inhaling nitrous oxide straight into the camera without any attempt to hide it. They say a group of Chinese nationals bought up homes in the development, converted them into unlicensed pool villas, and now throw near-nightly parties with heavy bass that don't wind down until three or four in the morning. Neighbors say they haven't been able to sleep in weeks. The villas cater to visitors coming through zero-fee tour packages, the kind of trip that's cheap up front and makes its money once the tourists are on the ground. Residents are asking police to seal both estate entrances, search the villas, and deport whoever's running them. No word yet on whether anyone has been out to the estate.

American YouTuber Arab came to Cambodia and went to a firing range up in the mountains that, for whatever reason, he says he can't disclose the location of. He fired automatic weapons, a sniper rifle, an RPG and a .50 cal, and threw a frag grenade, spending around $2,500 in all. Behind him, Cambodian men who look like soldiers threw cash around while holding their handguns. Arab paid to shoot, and they had just been paid. Anything can be bought in Cambodia if you have the money for it. Here’s a short clip.

Indonesian scam workers have reportedly fled a compound in Thmor Da, Veal Veng district, Pursat province, according to Cambodian media. One Indonesian worker was quoted saying goodbye to Cambodia, noting that routes used for online scam operations were cut off due to the situation with Thailand and multiple Thai strikes on scam compounds in the area. Reports suggest that the disruption has also led to the release or escape of a number of trafficked workers who had been sold into scam operations.

WATCH: The Nigerian Who Gave Himself the Title "Big Boss" of DODORIMA Rammed a Police Car on Rama III Thai narcotics police arrested a Nigerian man they call the head of DODORIMA on Monday night outside a luxury condo on Rama III in Bangkok. As officers boxed in his car he reversed hard into one of theirs, injuring an officer, and they smashed the window and pulled him out. Police found 18 grams of cocaine in the car, and when they searched his condo they seized a Toyota, Thai and US cash, money in the bank, and a pile of brand-name goods, about 700,000 baht all told. Police say he'd been in Thailand more than seven years, starting out running cocaine to tourists in the nightlife areas before appointing himself boss of DODORIMA, which they describe as the Thai branch of a global West African network called NBM of Africa. They say the network moved 380 million baht in the past year alone, with proceeds allegedly wired home to build a mansion in Nigeria. The charity events and donation drives were cover, police say, a way to launder drug and romance-scam money and to get close to well-connected people he could supply. Investigators say this traces back to Operation Dark Room, the May raid on a Nonthaburi condo where six Nigerians were arrested for running romance scams, and that the money from that operation led to DODORIMA. He's admitted the cocaine and denied the laundering, says his money is from a legitimate fish-export business and that DODORIMA is just friends doing charity. The name, he told police, means "hello."

Bangkok woman outsmarts machete-wielding stalker who followed her home A man high on drugs followed a woman up the stairs to her rented room in Bangkok's Taling Chan district on March 20, shoving through the door the moment she unlocked it. He was carrying a 50cm machete. Once inside he barricaded the door with furniture, kicked her younger brother out, and ordered her to undress. She told him people were waiting downstairs. When he turned to check, she grabbed a blanket and ran. Police arrived to find the suspect out on the second-floor balcony holding the blade to his own chest. After a long standoff he asked for water. Officers moved in during the handoff, but he slipped and fell from the balcony before they could grab him. Hip injury, taken to Siriraj Hospital. He told police he'd been using heavily and was hallucinating.

A brawl broke out at the Khun Khmer Best of Best event in Sydney. Cambodian officials say Thai fighter Songra Petyindi came in at 69.9 kg against an agreed 68, refused a second weigh-in, then climbed into the ring to demand the fight anyway after a Cambodian boxer knocked out his compatriot. Video circulating online appears to show Songra, gloves still on, jumping down and punching Cambodian coach Pich Sophon from behind.

Anyone know what kind of military training this is? I’m not familiar with it. Looks like abuse to me.
