No shade allowed

This is a part of our Cambodia forums to chat about anything Cambodia-related. This discussion forum is at the top of our site because it's usually the busiest part of the expat community chatter with random topics on just about everything, including expat life, Khmer politics, Cambodian blogs we have or have come across, or whatever else our members want to discuss. Whether you're an expatriate, tourist, Cambodian or random traveler just passing through South East Asia, you are welcome to talk about anything or start new topics yourselves.

If this is real it is an act of colossal stupidity.

Who are the officials who turn up and rip off a roof? Is this just a tactic in an extortion racket; pay us or we'll take your roof off.

I'm going down there to take a look, I'll report back...

its possibly an illegal building extension onto the public space or pavement

would not be allowed in any major city

sounds like some guy tried to claim the pavement and got annoyed when the municipality shut it down

They have chopped off the front of two bars at the top of 118. The Mekong River and the corner bar opppsite. The tables are still on the pavement.

When they collect garbage, get cars off pavements (sidewalks) and enforce basic traffic laws etc, then they can start getting petty about an awning.

I'm glad to see the officials have their priorities straight. :?


And I thought the OP was going to be completely different!
Still hunting for opium paraphernalia.

I remember the authorities doing this a couple years ago...all the awnings/extensions were put back up within a couple weeks.
