Cameron Darke in Laos

I have now left Laos and permanently moved back to Australia. I am open to #freelance work, friendly discussions on #Laos, etc.

@WarzoneMobile I just updated and all my progress disappeared. What happened??

Watch: A $6 billion Chinese-built railway in Laos is already transforming a small town on the border of China. But critics question: Is this a megaproject success or just a massive debt trap? on.wsj.com/3LyCFTw

@bangkokaussie Yes! Cheaper too

@CameronDarke Do people try and get across the border to get fuel given it’s proximity?

Lines already forming at petrol stations as #Laos prepares for #fuel #shortages again.

The Lao State Fuel Company has issued a statement that it will continue to distribute #fuel as normal and no interruptions will occur in #Laos, despite the notice by PTT.

@jacobincambodia Get well soon!

Taking my sweet Max to the vet this morning. He’s been lethargic and hasn’t been eating well this week. Send some good vibes would you? 💙 #cambodia #expatlife

Here we go again? 😒

According to the notice, the first case of #monkeypox infection was recorded on 8 September; however, the ministry has not provided any further information about the patient. Read more: buff.ly/3RrlrLE

@jacobincambodia We see a lot of these expensive vehicles driving around Vientiane, too. This year the roads are really disintegrating, so it looks even more absurd as they bottom out on potholes. But I guess they have the funds to do repairs...

Starting at $3,300,000, the Bugatti Chiron, one of the world’s fastest cars, finds itself oddly at home in Phnom Penh—a city where the speed limits rarely allow you to go above 30-40kph. What could justify such an absurd purchase? Excess wealth, seemingly devoid of practical consideration. #cambodia #phnompenh

@rjhintz @KruDavidNan1 Mostly baht because imports come from Thailand so vendors prefer to just charge in baht. There's a bit of naming and shaming going on in social media when people see shops openly displaying prices in foreign currency but deep down nobody wants kip.

@KruDavidNan1 @CameronDarke Are vendors of any scales accepting payment in USD? I realize it’s against government policy.

The downward spiral continues for the poor old #Lao kip. Never thought I would witness LAK 20,000 to the dollar!

@rjhintz Singha does seem out of place in a fridge in Laos! Especially surrounded by Beerlao like that

@CameronDarke Thanks. Didn’t expect to see that selection of beer.

7-Eleven has its official opening in #Laos today.

Still going strong in the evening 😄

@CameronDarke Need a pic showing beer brands and coconut water when convenient. (My benchmark for konbini 😁)

@tommywalkerco In Vientiane for now

@CameronDarke Which city?

G'day, Sonexay!
