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!

Apparently, it is the government doing it. And there's a little more than broken bricks and stone in these truckloads their bud.
I might as well just cancel my garbage pickup and start filling in potholes with it if this is considered normal. The lady down the street just comes out her front door and dumps her dustpan in the middle of the road now. And why shouldn't she if the government is letting construction companies dump their bags of garbage that way.

That's not garbage, it's low grade building rubble... 8)
Anyway, I don't know what anyone's moaning about,
it's not so long ago that the national routes
were all a lot worse than that.

It's only a matter of time, there just waiting for the Chinese to pull their finger out.

I remember when Sothearos was just a mud track, Khmer Rouge everywhere, tigers and crocodiles prowling the Bassac banks, natives in loincloths bringing me my gin and tonic as I sat at FCC charging my watch-shaker with the cabal and throwing 100 riel notes to the impoverished peasants...bloody newbies have no idea what the real Cambodia was like....aaah, indeed, 2017 was a year to remember!
