The Pub Street bar owners face a new challenge as the bar area is flooded.

A nicer group of bar owners you would be pushed to find. Recently told to move out in a few months and now the swamp fill seems to have put a further issue on their plate.

The storm last night has put the drainage issue to the test.

The whole place is under about a foot and a half of water. The bars on the left fairing better than most on the right.

Its hard to see how this will play out.

They need our support .

Good idea. This ever happen perhaps connect to a waste water system for a start!!

That swamp must have been a haven for every bad bacteria known to man.

The longer you see the Sihanoukville story unfold you can't help but shake you head.

This swamp fill will be problematic.

I wish Pub Street well in their last few weeks but today wasn't a great sight. What was that song: " know when to fold, know when to walk away"!!!

I must say they had it coming. When it was built I was very surprised they didn’t fill up the land beforehand.

The rainy season must be a testing time for Sihanoukville!

We are in the hot season and waste water is a problem.

The storm last night may be a warning of things to come!!

Yes, the swamp is a big deal, but that's just the start. With the present rate of construction, I reckon that in 2 years there will be no wetlands left in Sihanoukville town-beach area.

For now, they say that it's construction thats blocking the drainage, but what will happen when there's nowhere for the water to drain? We don't even have a decent river.
