Rodent in the Room: Aaron Aziz’s “Squeaky” Stay in Phnom Phèn
Singaporean star Aaron Aziz recently shared an unforgettable (and a little bit disgusting) experience from his trip to Cambodia. While staying in a hotel in Phnom Phèn, he discovered a rat cruising around his room—and it’s not just any rat, but one that made a fussy squeaky entrance.
What Went Down
- Arrival surprise: Aaron and his wife were headed to help a friend restore a mosque. Instead of a tidy hotel room, they met a furry intruder.
- “Clean?” The actor quipped in a now‑deleted Instagram post: “Do you think this room is clean? The hotel said it came from the luggage!”
- Snap it capture: Aaron posted a photo of the rodent stuck to a glue trap supposedly placed by the staff.
- “No mice, we came with clothes and money,” he added, painting a vivid picture of his frustration.
Aftermath & Hard‑Hit Sleep
Though the hotel dealt with the situation, Aaron’s nighttime was spot‑on disrupted. On July 21, he wrote: “Good morning from Phnom Phèn… we couldn’t sleep well—thinking about that rat.” Even after swapping out bed sheets, the ache lingered because he had a lingering memory of a leptospirosis scare back in 2010 (yolo, never again!).
A Heartfelt Vibe for the Rodent
Despite the chaos, Aaron kept a gentle tone: “I asked many times, ‘Please let it go.’ The hotel said it was released. I hope that’s true.”
What the Hotel Did Next
The hotel stepped up, offering Aaron and his wife brand‑new accommodations—just in time for the star to keep doing what he loves.
Final Thought
Turning a rat scare into a down‑to‑earth lesson: always keep your luggage squeak‑free, and remember that even celebrities need a quiet night’s sleep.
