Global [Cambodia: A Nation of Crime] Part 3: Where lies the safety of foreign tourists?
By Diplomacy Journal Kayla Lee Cambodia was once a country that welcomed foreigners with the ‘angelic smile’. But now, that smile has frozen cold. Behind the beautiful Angkor Wat and emerald coastline lurks the grip of criminal organizations targeting foreigners. The murder of a Korean university student was not merely the tragedy of one individual, but the result of systematic neglect hidden behind the label of a ‘tourist nation’. A crime market disguised as tourism. Locally, alongside the tourism boom, ‘voice phishing camps’, ‘online gambling centers’, and ‘human trafficking brokerages’ have

Global [Cambodia: A Nation of Crime] Part 2: An absent state, powerless diplomacy... Where was the government?
By Diplomacy Journal Lee Jon-young Two months have passed since Korean university student Park (22) was kidnapped and murdered in Cambodia. Only after his death became known to the world did the government declare a “full-scale response.” But by then, Park had already returned as a cold corpse.

Global [Cambodia: A nation of crime] Part 1: Cambodia's true colors - A tourist destination stained with blood
By Diplomacy Journal Lee Jon-young Once known as the ‘Smile of Angkor Wat,’ Cambodia is no longer a peaceful tourist destination. The recent case of Korean university student Park (22) being kidnapped, imprisoned, and murdered locally is a symbolic cross-section of this reality. His tragic death is not merely the misfortune of one individual, but reveals the true nature of a ‘country where crime has become an industry’. Cambodia has rapidly grown as a Southeast Asian tourism hub, but its underbelly is dark. An ‘invisible criminal market’—a tangled web of online scams, illegal gambling, human t
