Re: Beach Club Resort Sihanoukville
When Sohka SHV first opened, they baked their own snacks/cakes etc, which would go on sale for Riel1500 each after 4pm. One could sit in the largely empty foyer eating cheap cake, free continuous cold water served to you, and a Filipino band taking requests.
At the time, I asked the Filipino sports manager why they didn't offer a monthly deal on the gym. His answer was the Malaysian investors dont care if anyone uses it or not.
I suppose a more direct answer would've been, its priced accordingly to keep riff raff out.
They did eventually come up with a reasonable monthly deal though.
Phase one of Sohka was a very cool and classy development. If only the Cambodians had the long term foresight to maintain that theme in future developments, rather than allow the monstrosities being built now along the beaches.

Can you be more specific? I don’t believe that’s true and that’s not what I’ve experienced.Felgerkarb wrote:As far as I know, everything being built down there in Chinese only, no outsiders allowed.

Enjoyed the place, Luna, Baz, and of course drinking it up large with Tony. I used to feel for Luna watching her every single morning giving her staff almost exactly the same directions for breakfast service time and time and time....
Where did Luna end up? last I heard she had a bad bike accident.

Re: Beach Club Resort Sihanoukville
Signs that say CHINESE ONLY seem pretty clear. It's not everywhere, but I think the writing is on the wall. Will be very happy to see if it goes back to "normal" once a few more hotels go up, but the few I and business associates happened by were pretty clearly not welcoming to barang or Khmer.Jacobincambodia wrote: ↑Sun Sep 02, 2018 12:03 pmCan you be more specific?
