The Sihanoukville MAKEOVER?
Sihanoukville Special economic Zone ?
Well that's great news isn't it. Unfortunately pigs and wings come to mind.*
*For samouth and other non-native english speakers - explanation of the expression "pigs with wings or pigs might fly";

Pigs and wings indeed.The Sihanoukville MAKEOVER?
Aiming to attract investors to broaden the Kingdom’s manufacturing base and to boost the country’s industrial development, the government is alledgedly preparing a master plan to turn Sihanoukville province into a new special economic zone, said an official.
The advisor to the Cambodian government, Dr Sok Siphana, gave a speech last week addressing the government’s plans to shape Sihanoukville province into a primary hub for trade, logistics and manufacturing. He said that while the master plan, under the responsibility of the Council for the Development of Cambodia, is set to be finalised by 2018, it needs to be carefully planned and executed.
Along with setting up a seaside special economic zone, the master plan aims to enhance the infrastructure of the country’s largest port, National Road 4 and Sihanoukville International Airport...
Last week, it was announced that an expressway between Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville will be developed to ease traffic on National Road 4. Under the Chinese firm Henan Provincial Communications Planning, Survey and Design Institute (HPCPSDI), the construction is set to begin next year and finish by 2020. ..

Re: The Sihanoukville MAKEOVER?
Hmm you guys are in a hurry to call flying pigs on this.
I have master plans edited 8 years ago for CAMS, the government and other investors that forecast exactly that.
Bet trang special economic zone is the fastest growing in the all country.
Airport development never stopped for the past 5 years and can only accelerate now that planes are coming.
Nowadays tourism is down to third behind port activities and industries.
SHV will be the kingdom's 2nd biggest city in less than 10 years. Estimations are more than a million inhabitants.

@BDS
The question mark was in the PPP headline so I am not the only sceptic in town I think.
Great news if it happens - I'm with you on that - a decent road btw PP and SV and a railway that works would be a good start.
So maybe pigs will fly ... one day. That will be interesting.

Pigs flew out of that helicopter around a year ago.

"Carefully planned and executed" doesn't come to mind when thinking of Cambodia. Just look at the new railroad that was suppose to take some of the killer trucks off the road.

There's fucking construction almost everywhere. I've gotta find a new crib. There's like 5 noisy sites near me. They're actually putting up attractive shops on Ekareach of late too.

From what I read SNV is also Cambodia's biggest exporter/deporter of expats. That must account for something.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

And the chicken farm, when finaly surrounded by the new port will become a working museum!

Has anyone told the Chinese? Seems they have very different plans.
Once you've read the dictionary, every other book is just a remix.
