Plans in Cambodia for a massive tourist resort on an out-of-the way island don‘t add up and may serve a different goal.

But the announced details of their project do not match its civilian billing. Why would the resort need to accommodate 6000 people, when the number of tourists on the island at any time is far fewer than that? Why does the project include an airport, even though one already exists in nearby Sihanoukville? And why would this airport need a 2650-metre runway, long enough to accommodate bigger planes such as the Airbus A321 – as well as potentially China’s long-range bombers and military transports? (By way of comparison, the runway of Phnom Penh’s airport is 3000 metres.

Saying there's an airport in "nearby Sihanoukville" is a bit relative to how one defines "nearby". If there's no traffic on Cambodia's busiest road, and if it's in good condition you can go from one to the other in about three hours. It's often 5-6 and one time it took me 8. Resort vacationers don't want that nonsense.
Why would the runway be as long as it is? The answer is in the next part of the sentence, so it can service a very popular type of plane.

I think they do plan on building a flash, splash the cash, Chinese holiday island on Koh Rong.
This was announced at the end of last year by the Royal Group, but it's been in the works for years including the proposed Koh Rong airport.

As for the tourist numbers on Koh Rong, well, 6000 people is not a lot compared to the scale of construction on the mainland where they are building for tens or hundreds of thousands. The Chinese population in Sihanoukville might have diminished recently, but don't forget how fast it expanded over just a couple of years.They are saying that the new Sihanoukville/Westport will be modelled on the Chinese city of Shenzhen (20 million inhabitants), so anything goes.

Thanks.
I was going to comment on the articles, human interest stories, news, current affairs, research papers and topics of general interest you've contributed to CEO so as to offer members Cambodia related subject matter for reading, discussion or mild interest, however, I couldn't find any.

I understand not everything I post is of interest to all members, and I acknowledge I sometimes miss and post a crappy article, but at least I'm being proactive. You just sit there and pass judgement, OK? Don't go out of your way to contribute threads yourself, alright? It's piss easy to sit on the sidelines and throw stones, isn't it?

Attacking the poster seems to a favorite game among some members.

It’s a really a shame.

I think we all are going a bit nuts, J.
or i hope so anyway - i'm sure it's not just me.
