Re: Cambodia's airport dreams stall as Chinese money dries up
A new airport for Phnom Penh also lost Chinese funding in 2021, after a state-owned company bailed on bankrolling most of the $1.5 billion price tag, leaving Cambodian partner Overseas Cambodia Investment Corp. (OCIC) to issue bonds and invest its own money to secure less than half that amount in f...

Re: Thought on Sihanoukville
I decided to take my new year break at Sihanoukville today to avoid the madness. Staying at Otres. Was last here 7 years ago. It's very disappointing. Beach is a thin strip and dirty, enjoyed by daytripping pickpockets. Next time we'll head back to the islands. Funny how memory does tricks on peopl...

Re: Thought on Sihanoukville
I don't remember if Ocheteul had palms, I think not, but Ekareach had beautiful palms. Can't remember why they were cut down - dangerous or something. Ekareach street? Must have been long time ago. Cannot remember any palms in last 13 years or so since I have been visiting the place. Talking about ...

Re: Thought on Sihanoukville
I completely agree that downtown and Occheteul areas are ugly. But then again, it always has. Now it's just more Gaza style ugly. But other parts of the town are more beautiful than before imo. Both in urban and nature way. There are beaches that are still in very much natural state and with forest ...

Re: Condominium 3 months with Pool?
You should have more options in Siem Reap with your budget. Sihanoukville would have apartments with your requirements and budget too.

Re: Condominium 3 months with Pool?
You need to either increase your budget up $600-$900 / month or give up one of your requirements. Without a pool you should find a place with your budget in pretty central location. Or if you look for example Toul Kork or Chroy Changvar areas then if you are lucky you might find a small condo unit w...

$5 - $10 a day, depending what type of scooter and from where you rent it.Guest9999 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 30, 2023 1:07 pmAnyone know the current daily cost to rent scooters in Sihanoukville. We'll probably rent 3-4 for a couple of days in early Dec.
Better if Khmer's go to rent them, or expat? Thanks!

Re: PP Night market bridge
I'm wondering how it's going to look on the Daun Penh side? There aren't really any large roads in the area. Maybe they can knock down that fake Naga Bridge and put in a roundabout? Some point last year the plan was that the connection to Sisowath Quay from the streets both side of night market is ...

Re: After the Boom, Cambodia’s Real Estate Sector Sees Red
Anyone else noticed Le Condé BKK1’s marketing campaign is sounding increasingly desperate these days? I just got a new ad from them on my feed, this time with a floor plan. Those studio apartments are the size of shoeboxes, and their premium corner units have windows that face out on each other. No...
