You can life a good life in SEA, you just have to be smart about it. Knowing Khmer for example has gotten me out of so many binds because now instead of Khmer hoe vs evil foreigner it's become educated Khmer speaking foreigner against Khmer hoe. Cops give you mad respect for knowing the language and that's just one of the many benefits.
>but I won't do anything illegal
Doesn't matter. Even in Thailand as a white guy cops will stop you on your bike and claim your international drivers permit isn't valid there. How do you get around this? You go to the Thai DMV for and demand in Thai that they give a license. After 5 hours of arguing they'll give in. Been there.
Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand (albeit slightly less so) are extremely corrupt and you can get away with murder if you have the cash (often times only like 5-10k). Cops work closely with gangs so if the police can't nab you on something and you're rude, they may tip the gangs off that there's a foreigner on a nice bike with some money and snatch that shit leaving you beaten up in a ditch.

You're free to do as you like. My advice to you is to learn the language and never date a lower class girl.

You're either a fed or naive as fuck. You know one of her jealous friends can make a friendly tip and ruin your life right?

It's not the Cambodia court, it's the WESTERN court that fucks you. You can still bribe in Cambodia but if you flee back home that charge will follow you.
