Rebranding. Fake it till you make it!

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

Rebranding. Fake it till you make it!

Post by John Bingham »

Recent photos of a couple of newish developments around Phnom Penh. The mall on 271 was started about 8 years ago but has never opened. The other is in Chaom Chao. Both are owned by notorious pâté tycoon Thong Sarath. 8)

That's awesome and funny. You see that kind of thing all the time like 6/11, and brand stealing with just a mis spelling.
Stay classy na

Their copying and restyling has greatly improved. I'm not suprised Trump wants a 20% tariff on them. The EU has set new, higher rates, from last year:

The duties differ depending on the maker: 17% for BYD, 18.8% for Geely and 35.3% for state-owned SAIC. Other EV manufacturers in China, including Volkswagen and BMW, would be subject to a 20.7% duty. The Commission has an individually calculated rate for Tesla of 7.8%.

Nice shop, but they only had black phones, no silver or other colours. :stir:
