I haven’t seen any, but maybe one of you has at least been to Cambodia or at least knows something about it.
I’m trying to help a friend track someone down in Cambodia and I don’t know much about the country at all.
Any help?
Mods-if this would be better elsewhere, I’d be happy to repost.

I’ve been to Angkor Wat. I’m not surprised that there are no Cambodian Dopers here because the country is dirt poor and consists for the most part of subsistence farmers.
I did see an internet cafe in Siam Riap, but it was for tourists.
I’ve also been to Angkor and Phnom Penh.
Tracking someone down over there would be much much easier from Bangkok or Phnom Penh itself.
Is this person important enough to your friend to travel to Bangkok, or will she/he just do what they can from wherever your friend is ?
Goo, you know Bangkok is in Thailand right?
Ack, didn’t mean for that to sound so snappish :smack:, not trying to insult your intelligence, consider it a brainfart on my behalf.
I’ve never been to Cambodia but I’m Cambodian if that helps 
Yes, Iteki I know Bangkok is in Thailand. I have spent a fair bit of time there. It did sound snappy too, so thanks for clarifying it wasn’t meant that way 
The reason I included Bangkok with Phnom Penh as a good place to track someone in Cambodia down, is that Bangkok is relatively kind to English-only speakers, much closer than the US (where I assume the OP’s friend is from) and probably cheaper to hire someone to help you, if you consider including your searching with a holiday.
It really depends on why/who the OP’s friend is searching for. If the OP’s friend is a Cambodian migrant’s offspring who speaks fluent Khmer and wants track down great-granny, then other options are probably better. If the OP’s friend is searching for a long-lost penpal on a spare-time, it’s Sunday-afternoon-and-I’m-bored-I-wonder-how-X-is-doing whim, then flying to Cambodia probably isn’t a good option either. Depends on why and who.
Anyway, that’s partly why I included Bangkok when I suggested Phnom Penh.
“Cambodian Dopers”…hehe
The friend was taken out of Cambodia as an infant by the Red Cross and adopted. I am pretty good at finding people, but we are off to a shaky start, honestly not even being sure when exactly he was born. We just know it was 1974…
My first “lead” is that his mum may have been a professor at a university in Phnom Penh, but I don’t know if they have more than one. I tried to google it, but it wasn’t much help.
