Well don't say you weren't warned. 178 and 19 is ground zero.

Apparently, official opening is on in the morning (15 Dec) and we are locked in till noon, as SAMSPTHS will be popping in (sure you can work that acronym out!)

How did you get such a good rate? Do you have a contact/info that I can connect with to get those rates? I am seeing 150+ on Google for the Hyatt Regency. on PP.

May I ask what's the good rate for a small suite?

Lol what do you mean by Karens in this context?

I have QR--code from Morchana-app, its the Thai-entrance QR-code, and showed that one and they wgere okay with that. Did it since at several places, if they see a QR-code, they probably even cant read it, and thats all. I think if you gove a QR-code from some children-playground in your country they would accept also !!

I agree. People who haven't been here for a while probably don't realize how much that central riverside area between the palace and st 90 or so north has decayed in the past few years. The riverside esplanade is still quite pleasant in the late afternoon/ evening between the area of the Areyksat ferry and about st 144. Families out walking, people exercising, visiting fortune tellers and shrines etc. Then after that there are more sketchy people, they seem to have cleared most of the degenerates away from the walkway recently but it's always rougher to the north. On the street size it might be picking up a bit but it was grim as hell for over a year, endless closed businesses. The streets in between there and 51 have always attracted robbers. Anywhere from 178 all the way past Wat Phnom is dodgy as fuck at night. The whole area had a lot of businesses depending on tourism so it is fuct now. Other areas haven't been affected to such an extent. I heard that the plan is to get rid of all the crummy businesses in the center and make it into something fancy like Singapore. They've already started to the south and up by the old port.

I have lived in this area for 4 years and never had anyone trying it on with me in the street.

For someone who jumps down the throat of anyone expressing negativity about Cambodia, especially ones outside the country, you just took a huge shit on a huge section of the city where many expats live happily and safely in the plague pit of Riverside.

Do you even live in this area?

I'm just saying it like it is. It's been affected more than any other area by the lack of tourists and has decayed. There is a lot of crime there and it attracts vagrants and drug-addicts.
It doesn't mean it can't recover, but I've heard that some very important people don't like how it has been and want to develop much of it, which is hardly a big surprise. Some of these people own blocks along there.
I don't live in that area, I did live on 102 in 2006 though and nearby Wat Botum in 2007.

Yeah so I decided to rent an apartment at the bridge. The layout doesnt bother me and if a tuk tuk drive is 10-15 mins everywhere for any kind of nightlife I'd rather live in an apartment than an hotel room where I can have more privacy and can bring guests without having to show id, etc.

Sticking with the nightlife motif, can someone from the VIP Nightlife invite me to that private space? I need some guidance on PP more... err... seedier aspects. Let me know if it is against the rules to ask this way and I will delete this last part of my post lol
