samsensam Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 i've seen the photos, nothing more than high jinks in the west but common sense would suggest you dont behave in such a way in a culturally sensitive place. females are equally involved. a result possibly of the 'obsession with self' many people have nowadays with social media and wanting to do something that will gain the attention of others to boost their self esteem/ego.

nausea Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Bit of an overreaction if you ask me. Judging by the photos, fairly innocent stuff happening within what appears to be an appropriate context. Suspect whoever took the decision to act didn't realise these kind of party games are meant as a bit of fun and are not to be taken seriously, as in seriously simulating sex. So yeah, you could say it's a cultural misunderstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geovalin Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Cambodia charges foreigners with making pornographic images Prosecutors in Cambodia have charged 10 foreigners, including five Britons, with producing pornographic images after raiding a villa in Siem Reap. They were arrested on Thursday after images emerged of people apparently imitating sexual positions at a party in the north-western town. If convicted, they face up to a year in prison. Cambodia has in recent years been penalising tourists for publishing revealing images of themselves. Also among those arrested are citizens of Canada, New Zealand, the Netherlands and Norway, reports say. read more http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-42853612 -- © Copyright BBC 29/01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geovalin Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Westerners accused of ‘singing and dancing pornographically’ could face a year in Cambodian prison Ten Westerners face up to a year in a Cambodian prison after being arrested Thursday near Angkor Wat and accused of pornography and human trafficking for “singing and dancing pornographically.” The case represents the latest clash between young foreigners who say they were blindsided by morality police and Cambodian officials who have been cracking down in recent years on Westerners they say are failing to respect the country's mores and sacred spaces. The singing and dancing in question happened at a popular pool party event Thursday called Let's Get Wet, according to the Telegraph. The party was in Siem Reap, not far from the country's Angkor Wat temple complex. Almost 100 people attended, mostly Western tourists and expatriates. read more https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/01/28/westerners-accused-of-singing-and-dancing-pornographically-could-face-a-year-in-cambodian-prison/?utm_term=.f179db32d7fe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sure, your country's tourists are all perfectly behaved, well mannered and respectful. Apart from when aggressively sticking their smelly feet next to someone's head over a bus seat and then reacting rudely when politely requested to move them! Or, and I could go on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Get real and stop the racist bigotry. Idiots exist in all countries. In some countries corrupt police seek to exploit tourists too.

Agreed, looks like a private venue and some people having a bit of fun Have to also consider that Cambodia is just as bad as Thailand when it come to extorting funds from people.

Those kids should know that this behaviour is not common on the whole world. For this way of partying they should stay in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJohnson Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Follows a long tradition of young 20 somethings going to exotic places, getting drunk and acting stupid. Kontiki tours around Europe were exemplars of this in the 70s and 80s. Nothing new, but still equally annoying. They'll get a slap on the wrist and a great story to tell yobbo friends upon returning home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
