Otres Sucks Too...

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.

That would be 'Life apostrophe s'.

Life is a beach = > Life's a beach.


Sorry, I'm bored. :(

Boredom is not an excuse for being a punctuation Nazi. I sentence you to one month of living in Otres Village on main street. :whip: :wink:
You could be next.

It used to be a very different place 3 years ago. People like to say it's where all the people who got fed up with Goa went.
But i was in Goa and it's not like i remember it.

That locals' village on the road has only existed for around five years. Built up on supplying businesses like Mushroom etc. It's grown almost as quickly as the beach and boratey village. The Sok family owns the lot. Well just about all the land one​ side of the village road and a fair bit on the other. They also own some of the beach. Like the last place on O2 before the river.

I had a place in the boratey village when it was relatively undeveloped. I decided it wasn't worth keeping it to live in as the place was chock a block in around six months of being there, and f running a busness there. Every boratey and his dog seemed to want to cash in on the tourist boom, so they built guesthouses. Loads and loads of them.

And the landlord, all the plots are rented but a very few, let people build right next to each other and didn't control the sewage at all. Mr Sok see crook!!
See crook!!!

As I said "No matter how much research you do, you never really know what a place is like until you arrive."

I need to 'kill the summer' and thought four weeks at Sok Sabay might be nice (it is)... but Otres Village isn't. Ninety-nine percent of the local expat eco hippy/barefoot earth's children (are they immune to hookworm?)/dreadlocked caucasian/hemp clothing-wearing/'man-fuckin'-bunned' barang morons are constantly stoned out of their minds. The unpaved roads are water-filled potholes & mud; and, the paved roads host an endless parade of giant trucks kicking up unbelievable clouds of thick, choking dust. I can't imagine what it's like in dry season!
:facepalm:

Shoulda gone to Kep.

Oh well, off to Kampot in a couple of weeks and then on to Phu Quoc... Otres Village will soon be a distant memory (thank goodness).

Interesting. Let us know what you think of Kampot. I wasn't impressed by the place, or vibes there (yawn). It's another place full of Tourists and boring expats. Not my idea of a fun place either.

So you've been to Kep before?

Sounds like Phu quoc will be a better choice, if you like quiet, maybe the Vietnamese Islands South 'con dao?' would suit you best(weather permitting) of course.
