So I'm finally here in the "Kingdom Of Wonder" (Drink Spiked and Robbed Already)

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.

Don't let the door smack you on the arse on the way out mate. We aren't going to miss you at all. In fact it never even registered on our radar that you were here. Hooorooo
i really dont understand the hate towards SHV, i dont understand how anyone who lives in PP or Phuket can call it a shithole... :Search:

You chose a bad time for Sihanoukville.

_Incidentally, i was considering Phuket in a few days time. Hows the weather there? Has the haze gone?

Cheers. 8-)
Left Saturday, no haze since the winds shifted, fantastic weather an still pre tourism season.
not many people around,
only trouble, no waves ;-(

Hey u like it, fine for you. U like the police hassling u, the dirty beaches, torn up pot holed streets, the average quality meals ( costing more than i pay in Phuket)

BTW went to Otres 2 an it was very nice an relaxing

PS why do u bring my name into it, I give my opinions, say NOTHING against u, so why do u go after me? bitter person , i would say

Thanks for your reply PhuketRichard.

I am sorry you're getting stick here, but Sihanoukville used to be a really cool place a few years back. Things have changed and developments have happened. Snookie lost its old market to fire and got a horrid metal one instead, Serendipity beach is now a developed concrete mess, etc, etc.

I think the biggest problem is the time of year, maybe you'll have a better time Jan, Feb, March. ///November isn't a good month for most places at the moment. :hattip:

Let me guess, your friend doesn't speak a word of Khmer ?
As for me, in the shops I have been going for years I tend to have better price than your average Khmer Joe...

nope, why does he need to? his gf speaks thai and Khmer
BTW, he has been in business and living in SHV for over 9 years and i bet he knows more 2,3,4 star admirals/generals than anyone on this board

shnoukieBRO
hey, thanks, doesn't bother me one bit, everyone has their preferences,
I first went to shv in 1989, Almost brought land at Otes in 2007

What gets me is why when one says something negative about a place, someone has to attack the poster, not defend the place?

PS;
Nov in Phuket is great, ( for some), personally i prefer May-Oct when the waves are rolling, not many tourists, sometimes rain but mostly sunny days and not that hot :-)

And the relevance of your friend of knowing a few of Cambodia's thousands of generals is?

I used to love Phuket pre-tsunami. Patong and Karon became loathsome after. They have turned them into a giant rip off machine. Most of the rest of the island is still sweet though. If I fly into HKT, I'm heading North. I far prefer Khao Lak and Krabi. I'm not sure if the changes to SV right now are for the better or worse. Anybody who thinks SV is a shithole, yet doesn't realize that PP is as well is a moron.
