thOld European/western men in the senior years spending time in Battambang. Saw 3 them hanging out 3 nights in a row in a local restaurant. They might be tourists. They don’t seem like tourists. Are they spending their retirement time in Battambang? Yes it is the caze it is good. They can contribute to Cambodian local economy. Cambodia can look into retirement as a market to attract. Will they touch and harm our children? We don’t know. There are good and bad people. We must enforce our law on protecting children and sending a clear message that retiree are very welcome but not the ones who abuse children and young adults.

Protect and nurture our children. They are our future.
