Caught my eye, photos in Cambodia :)

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

In 2003, Ochheuteal Beach was still nice. Just some simple shacks like the old Chivas shack and Sandy beach bar, and several Khmer restaurants such as the long-running Sea Dragon in the middle of the beach.

When travelling to Koh Kong there weren't any bridges yet. Your minivan had to cross a few rivers on rudimentary ferries:

One year later in 2004 it was still nice to spend some time on Ochheuteal.

Fast forward to 2011, only 8 years ago. The area around the Golden Lions: Ochheuteal street, Serendipity Beach road (still unpaved), Makara or karaoke street. Not a single high-rise blocking the views.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

You can remove that question mark Dunc. That is the spot all right.
I even remember that house frame, it was there for all my Serendipity holidays, 2005-2010,
I used to stay just behind where you took those shots. On the track that goes out along the headland.
Beautiful spot above the rocks. Shady, quiet, breezy, view. Cheap too.
It was an oasis, just 1-200 metres from the Serendipity party scene.
