Mood on the Streets of PP
Re: Mood on the Streets of PP
On the other hand.... Tomorrow I'll have my private taxi to Phnom Penh from Ratanakiri for just 350,000r. Great times (in some ways...).Duncan wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 5:47 pmHave prices gone up ?IraHayes wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 5:19 pmOpen but with slightly reduced number of vendors.

I paid $ 4. 50 for 5 bananas a few days ago and they were all black inside . I swear that when I leave this '' lucky country '' I will never complain ever again of paying 3,500 r for a bunch of bananas .

Its all "swings and roundabouts" you buy Cambodian bananas for less than a dollar, I get them given free from my Khmer friend. I buy the imported $1.70 bananas from the supermarket because I am not found of sweet local varieties. My friend calls with takeaway Lok Lac from the local restaurant, something to me does not taste right, I shit for two days. I gave her chocolate she now shits too. what worries me more here is if there becomes a food shortage.Duncan wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 5:47 pmHave prices gone up ?IraHayes wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 5:19 pmOpen but with slightly reduced number of vendors.

Always "hope" but never "expect".

My wife has said there are small increases and on further questioning as to the reason given by the vendors it is because while the borders are still open the people bringing goods across are having to pay extra “taxes”. She said it was mainly affecting the meat suppliersDuncan wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 5:47 pmHave prices gone up ?IraHayes wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 5:19 pmOpen but with slightly reduced number of vendors.

Re: Mood on the Streets of PP
Don't be silly. This is Cambodia.
Question for the old-timers - have you ever known Cambodia to go completely dry ? I remember when they shut a few bars in PP during elections, but it wasn't exactly dry. You could still find beer without working up a sweat.

The few times when alcohol sales were banned during elections/ mourning for Sihanouk etc it was still easy to get booze.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: Mood on the Streets of PP
Look at who owns / controls the brewery. If no beer is sold he will be unhappy with no money coming in .
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.

Re: Mood on the Streets of PP
Who owns the breweries? Cambrew is a Malaysian company in partnership with Carlsberg. Khmer Beverages are a Chip Mong Group company. Attwood Group is one of the main importers of booze, they are owned by Oknha Lim Chhiv Ho.
How are they different to any other businesses that need money coming in?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Cambodia News, Phnom Penh: After some people reported to the police that there were a large group of people who were drinking, playing, and making noises that disturbed the neighbors, the Phnom Penh Police Chief sent district-based special forces to the scene immediately to provide guidance and to educate them to stop all such activities.
The police in Phnom Penh wish to inform the public that they are always monitoring people's information, day and night, in order to respond to people's complaints in a timely manner. Thre is good and fast collaboration between the 14 district inspectors and all police stations in Phnom Penh to maintain public order following the instructions of the Ministry of health to reduce social gatherings.
