Sihanoukville: Brand New Bar Complex + Beach Update

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.

There are no more backpackers in SHV

They go SR-PP-Kampot-Koh Rong

SHV is not in the backpacker's travel bible any more

Richard is wrong about the Chinese tourists in Australia and NZ. About 50% of them rent cars and drive around, staying in caravan parks and going fishing like Australasians do. Many are not like the Japanese were and they are independent travellers, surprising but true in Australasia.

I don't know why people don't focus more on the Khmer, they drink a lot when out and are here all year round. Why aim for foreign tourists? You just need women to do the pouring and karaoke, one of my wife's friends runs a tiny karaoke bar and he's managed to save up enough to build two VIP suites out the back, despite his beer being dirt cheap and the food is brought in. He even has English songs, with those weird early 90s tourism videos.
