When visiting Phnom Penh be wary of bag snatchers on motorbikes. Reported cases had risen over the last year, and last week an attempted bag sntach left a French tourist dead as she was pulled off her motorbike taxi into the path of an on coming vehicle.

In your opinion do you think only westerners are targeted?

Not necessarily, Khmers love talking on their mobile phones whilst on their motorbikes, and there are regular reports of their phones being snatched from them.

I reckon using the hands free mite be a tad safer these days. Tuck the phone in a bag.. least it cant be snatched away from your hand...But hey gotta be clutching on to the bag instead!

Btw Happy New Year all!
