Like much about Cambodia the directive is confusing. One restaurant when seeking advice from the local constabulary, was told that they "couldn't sell food but they could sell a little bit" and that they "couldn't sell alcohol but they could sell a little bit." Just how much is a 'little bit' remains unclear- and an Australian's idea of a' little bit' of alcohol is likely to be wildly different from that of a Korean's, for example, isn't it?
What is clear though is the advice given to the owners of the notorious Phnom Penh beer garden Ponleu Themei by local authorities: Getting drunk and firing handguns was not appropriate during the mourning period staff and management were told.
