Going to Sihanoukville will only leave you disappointed and regretful.

The SHV of Richard of the Marlin and the Snake house disappeared 10 years ago. The demise of the place continued apace and increased exponentially since 2017.

It is totally different ..... and crap.
You know when LJ dumps on Shitsville ......it must REALLY be shit.

What are the Last man standing bars in Chinooky now then?

I bet there's not one drinking establishment in town that regularly has more than 2 bleary eyed red nosed barang geezers sat at the bar at one time?

The place used to be full of them.
At least before the place had abit of character.
Ziagra and pee stained pants.

Is there any place nice to stay there, and is it a pleasant experience to visit the beach these days? I have been but it has been a number of years and just going by what's in the news I wasn't planning on taking my kids there. But two were born in Cambodia and we visit often but all they know is the village and the city and not the beach. I would like for them to see the beach but would only go if there is a nice/safe place to stay. We are a bit of a Marriott family. Is Otres good? Last time I was there I think I stayed at the Marlin Bar when old Aussie Richard had it, or the Snakehouse, but obviously wouldn't do that again. Coming again in June for my wife's brother's wedding and considered a trip to the beach.

Also - we were considering flying to Phuket, or Danang to stay at the Sheraton there. Anyone been to the Danang Sheraton that has any input? Thanks.
Stayed at the Sheraton DaNang in April 2018. A nice resort if you want a resort. But on site eating is very expensive and the place is in the middle of nowhere 20 minutes by taxi to China Beach and 40 minutes to Hoi An. No shopping whatsoever in walking distance though we were able to find some local shops selling UHT milk and cup noodles.

I absolutely hated the place but it's a nice resort with great swimming pools and a good private beach. If you're into resorts that is, but I'm a city/Pattaya style tourist who gets the creeps from desolate places. I much prefer suburban Hanoi in rush hour on a public bus to any resort in the world.

Sheraton Nha Trang on the other hand is everything I'd like to find in Pattaya. Great hotel, great lounge for platinum members which doesn't make a fuzz if you bring in infants for free, great food, great view over the beach. Great pool. Get a suite with a view of the ocean.

    I don't understand why PP expats refer to Sihanoukville as Shitville. I think, maybe its because they hate the sun and beaches or they hate water...

    Chinese make up a THIRD of the population on the coast. Could that really be?
