Has the Chinafication started in Kampot?

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.

They cant open a casino in Kampot.Naga World have a monopoly on casinos within a 200 KM radius of P.P,which expires in 2035
How difficult do you think it would be for the government and Nagaworld to agree to change the radius to 150km?
Surely Naga have 1.07 billion reasons to want to keep their 200km monopoly? Why would they share the pot?

From the same FB
MahEng Hou My colleague’s company (large multinational) looked into Kampot and even spoke to the highest people.
They said “no casino licences” no matter what the price. Period. End of.
The governor is quite strict on this.
I can only assume the “Chinese” (wherever they are from) are looking to invest in property/land or opening up businesses because it’s too expensive in SIhanoukville and Phnom Penh.

MahEng Hou I understand they are already “sky high” because of the influx from SIhanoukville.
I have many Cambodian friends who’ve relocated there.

Why would the Chinese look at investing in Kampot over Kep? Or is the Chinafication happening in Kep too?

Given they seem to be into large scale resorts by the sea with casinos, I would have thought Kep would be a more logical choice? Is there a no casino rule in Kep too?

Although there is lots of empty land in Kep, much is not up for sale, although Chinese are there already buying small plots ( GF sister sold 6,500 sqM for over $620,000!! off the main road to the horse)

Kampot has river access to the deep sea as well

NO casinos in Kep or much of anything but seafood :-)
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Hi guys I’m in Sihanoukville now and this place is a real dump ! Everywhere is trash and the area is full of construction and casino for Chinese people . I didn’t see any causian around except -3-5 people. Almost everyone is Chinese here ! I was planing to visit pubs and hostess bars but I changed my mind. I will escape to Koh Rong Samloem tomorrow !
