Beth King: It is a scandal that Cambodia has become the brothel of the world for Western sex tourists. In other countries like Thailand, the conduct of male tourists is now heavily policed. Every man entering Thailand is photographed upon arrival, and in places like Pattaya, there are wide-angle observation cameras that automatically can compare biometric features with those obtained through immigration cameras. This has widely reduced the occurrence of illicit sexual encounters. Unfortunately, Cambodia is too poor to install such a total observation system. Local women protection foundations should lobby donor countries to provide funds for a system similar to Thailand’s.

Beth King: Tas ir skandāls, ka Kambodžā ir kļuvusi par pasaules bordelis Rietumu seksa tūristus. Citās valstīs kā Taizeme, rīcību vīriešu tūristi tagad lielā mērā policed. Katrs cilvēks ienāk Taizeme ir nofotografēti pēc ierašanās, un tādās vietās kā Pattaya, ir platleņķa novērošanas kamerām, kas automātiski var salīdzināt biometriskie elementi, kas iegūti ar imigrācijas kamerām. Tas ir plaši samazina notikums nelikumīgu seksuālās tikšanās. Diemžēl, Kambodža ir pārāk slikta instalēt minēto kopējo novērošanas sistēmu. Vietējo sieviešu aizsardzības pamatus vajadzētu lobiju donorvalstīm piešķirt līdzekļus pašu sistēmu, Taizemes.

Sports / Diving equipment

A comprehensive range of equipment is available from most properly qualified dive schools and centers. A complete set of equipment includes tanks, back pack, weights, mask, fins, snorkel, buoyancy compensator (with direct system/power inflator), regulators with submersible pressure gauge, octopus or alternate air source, weight belt, diving knife, diving watch or some sort of underwater timer, depth gauge, compass, gloves and a jump suit, coverall or thin wetsuit (chiefly for protection against coral cuts and sunburn). A diver should take along his diving certification, his log book, personal spare parts and tool kit.

Additional equipment available for rent often includes dive computers, pole spears, spear guns (though spear-fishing is not encouraged), lift bags, metal detectors, underwater flashlights, light meters and underwater strobes.

Most dive centers charter their boats from local operators, though in a few cases they actually own the boats or yachts used for excursions. Some have access to other vessels which non-divers can use for sailing or water-skiing.
