What the hell is there in in Stung Meanchey for foreigners?
I saw the CNE article today about the naked Nigerian being arrested in Stung Meanchey.
I think I've seen other news and posts lately involving foreigners and Stung Meanchey.
Isn't that where the big garbage dump is with the scavenger kids?
Why would a foreigner go there? Are there a fair number of foreigners living there? Who? Why?
I never go west of Monivong of course. What kind of foreigners live in Stung Meanchey? I'm picturing Daun Penh as the neighborhood for Western sexpats, BKK for NGO-types, Russian Market for digital nomad hipsters, and Stung Meanchey for . . . who? Factory workers and Westerners living in $60 a month rooms? Is Stung Meanchey the new Russian Market now that Russian Market has been gentrified?

A lot of Nigerians live out there doing what they do (a google search of Nigerians + Stung Meanchey, pulls up deaths and large amounts of drugs), plus a few drug using westerners, the dump being the new lakeside. Cheap accommodation out there (western style studios $150). I would assume a few teachers as well. I was dragged to the cinema at Steung Meanchey New Marker as it was the only place showing the particular movie at the right time. The Lucky Supermarket there had a few tier 3 TEFLR's doing some shopping (they were wearing their school lanyards is how I could tell), and there are several tier 3 "international" schools that way.
Cheap accommodation compared to more desirable/closer areas in pp
Yes, that's why all the foreign trash ends up there.

The Stung Meanchey dump closed in 2009. Get a clue for fucks sake.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
Yeah. I love an LL, GM fight. Get him!Lucky Lucan wrote:The Stung Meanchey dump closed in 2009. Get a clue for fucks sake.
(An acquaintance (western) just bought a three floor villa (pool, pool table, garish Asian furniture) in Daun Penh (I’m not up on the areas but I know that’s THE area) for $3 mill’. It’s pretty central. I predict they will get sick of walking around and losing each other, and the kids/dog/car keys etc, and sell it/rent it and move back to his 3 bed condo.
$3 mill...if only.)

It's got a bohemian vibe atm. Very inspiring. Like TTP was before the onslaught.
Also you get tons of space for the $, good for the kiddos.
Western amenities? Long term, to no use here.
Once they clean up the river, prices will skyrocket, and yuppies will move in, surely.

Is bohemian a code word for “poor”? Like when I rented an AirBnB in Turin and it was described as being in a very “culturally diverse” neighborhood and that turned out to mean there were Africans dealing drugs on the street corner.
I know some local women that live in that area - one who’s been shot, and another that says she can’t go for a walk in the morning because she doesn’t want to get raped. Sounds like a great, family friendly neighborhood.

Sorry, that says more about your company.
Everyday life here, is full of kids, I've heard no gunshots,
have seen zero Nigerians, they must be hiding somewhere,
it's a huge area..
it gets polluted, about as much as the riverside during rushhour..
but no fancy attorneys hanging around, hardly any whites..

Lol, when they owned the site both Scobienz and Miguelito could be kindly described best as harmless.Miguelito wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 6:24 pmIs bohemian a code word for “poor”?

Now they have both sold they have developed a far more caustic tone.
