Across the globe, spies gather in inconspicuous dens to meet contacts and hold discreet conversations. This week, Intelligence Online visits Khéma La Poste, a restaurant and cafe where diplomats, Western spies and Cambodian senior officials hobnob in Phnom Pen.
In a building that once served as a warehouse for Messageries Fluviales de Cochinchine, the River Shipping Company of Chochinchina, opposite Phnom Penh's central post office in the former colonial district, the Khéma La Poste café-restaurant attracts a clientele of business people and Western intelligence officials as well as Cambodia's top civil servants.
