Uh oh. Adult Venues to be Targeted.
http://www.phnompenhpost.com/business/a ... e-targetedCambodia’s notorious adult-entertainment industry will soon be subjected to highter scruitiny and increased policing with the Council of Ministers on Friday passing a sub-decree aimed at cleaning up the seedier side of Cambodia’s nightlife.
Phay Siphan, spokesman for the Council of Ministers, said ministers agreed to pass a draft of the sub-decree last week.

“Now, we have a sub-degree to control the entertainment places. So we hope that it can eliminate a big number of any negative issues,†he said.
Siphan did not detail how authorities would utilise their new powers but said it was an important step in cleaning up the industy’s image.
“These negative activities can be impacting Cambodia’s tourism industry,†he said.
According figures from the Ministry of Tourism, there are 659 entertainment-related businesses throughout Cambodia, provinding more than 11,300 jobs. Of those businesses, nearly 180 are unlicensed.
“There is a small number of businesses that operate and create problems that then negatively affect our society such as exessive noise, attracting gangsters, encouraging students to not study, prostitution, or trading or consuming drugs,†a statement from the Council of Ministers relased Friday says...

Well, there goes the neighborhood. Sounds like just more power to get even more $$$$ from these businesses.
Underage drinking? Impossible! ! There isn't a drinking age in Cambodia!
And they talk about cleaning up the "seedier side of Cambodia's nightlife." Is there a non-seedy side? I'd like to check it out sometime.

Offtopic: hasn't somebody mentioned that they are bringing shishas back? Any news on that?
Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes

At the moment it seems a return is in the cards, but it's a question of how they do it without losing face.

I guess the fact that they are announcing a crackdown on nightclubs/KTV joints could possibly speed up the process.
On to the next...hopefully..

1. The Shisha bar near my work is open again already.
2. There does seem to be an advantage in being childish, at last. We're raiding adult venues! Uh, I'm not an adult. Move along, nothing
to see here.
OD: bug n the editing, doesn't appear on-screen as in editing.

Re: Uh oh. Adult Venues to be Targeted.
That seems not possible now, last visit to PP a restaurant manager i know told me that there is underground places that sells it but you must be known to them and only will serve you if you are trusted to them.
I failed to see the reason for this ban, there is much more worst than shisha available in the streets, all the countries i visited businesses had good return selling shisha even Vietnam along Bu Vien street you can see tons of people buffing it.

When a Cambodian child is first able to hold a bottle, can, or glass containing an alcoholic beverage, he or she has officially reached the legal drinking age.
