Presumably they are referring to Sihanoukville's Phsar Leu market, which was reconstructed after being burnt down in January 2008.

Ochheuteal from near that same spot in 2002:
Ochheuteal, from the middle of the main beach area, looking back toward that spot (Serendipity) in about 98 (maybe late 96).

Wow Duncan, that's some blast from the past...Of course the old wooden psar Leu burnt down and was replaced with a horrid metal one. Do you have any new beach photos to contrast the old ones you posted?
Certainly looks like a 'paradise lost' , so far....or is it??

Awesome photos, Richard.
Some wideview images of all the bars each side of victory hill would be something else!
