Is this in Sihanoukville or Koh Rong?

^ Kampuchea Thmey article says that the pier is rented by a Turkish man.
I'm guessing it's this ferry company http://speedferrycambodia.com (the billboard on the side of pier)
DAP news http://goo.gl/4bR8LI have updated and say that the fire has been extinguished "by authorities, locals and international tourists". They also say
ឆេះចេញលើដំបូល ចង្រ្កានដុតនំប៉័ង ចំកណ្តាលផែ រួចរាលឆេះធុងហ្គាស និងសាំង ដែលទុកក្បែរនោះ -
"the fire was started in the roof above a bread oven the middle of the pier and then spread to a gas canister and gasoline being stored nearby"

A bread oven, a gas canister, gasoline, and a thatched roof. What could go wrong?Rama wrote: "the fire was started in the roof above a bread oven the middle of the pier and then spread to a gas canister and gasoline being stored nearby"

seriously that is really idiotic. surely a bad electrical system is in the mix with lots of ungrounded sockets just for good measure.gavinmac wrote:A bread oven, a gas canister, gasoline, and a thatched roof.

And probably not a fire extinguisher within 100 meters of the pier.jackrossi wrote:seriously that is really idiotic. surely a bad electrical system is in the mix with lots of ungrounded sockets just for good measure.gavinmac wrote:A bread oven, a gas canister, gasoline, and a thatched roof.

Today's Daily article says the fire was at the Turkish owned Buffalo restaurant. The wood fired pizza oven was to blame.

Cambodia Daily used this photo, apparently not their photo, they just captioned it as "a photograph shared widely on Facebook."
I find their use of this photo without permission to be quite hypocritical, because Bernie Krisher has a reputation of aggressively asserting his paper's intellectual property rights. For example, back in 2004, he published an editorial complaining that Radio Free Asia was using content from the Cambodia Daily:

Cambodia Daily has also been critical of the Khmer Times' unprofessionalism and plagiarism. I don't think they can have it both ways. When it suits them, Cambodia Daily acts like they are paragons of journalistic professionalism. But then when they see a photo they like on Facebook, they just say "Fuck it, we're in Cambodia" and publish the photo in their paper.For years, RFA has been scanning and illegally transmitting electronically our full content to its offices in Bangkok and Washington, where our work has been reproduced in print and distributed to their staff to be used for their work.
Such electronic transmission of someone else’s copyrighted materialhas been shown to be illegal under US law. RFA sticks out its nose when we have placed a complaint, and I have thus filed a legal claim here in the courts in Phnom Penh. The case is under review and I’m hopeful justice will prevail.
