Re: What areas have natural beauty and a vibe tourist buzz?
50k seems pretty low ball even for a small resort. A small brick with straw roof bungalow is $500 a pop. That'll get you $15-20 a night on the islands. A nice bungalow with a decent kharzi is $2000 plus, maybe get you $50-$60. Didn't someone on here build a small brick house with a metal roof for about $5000? Out in the sticks, one room Khmer house could fit a small family. So your $2 a night dorm is going to cost you about $10k. Then there's your rent...

we looked over the years at developing a resort at Otres, Koh Rong and upon the Mekongcptrelentless wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 3:10 pm 50k seems pretty low ball even for a small resort.

minus buying the land or cost for lease
10 nice wooden furnished bungalows with air ($6-8,000) each (i'd love to see what ur $2,000 bungalows would look like) , pool $12,000-15,000, open air restaurant 8,000, kitchen $4,000, staff housing $10,000 +++ This would be a place that could easily fetch $25-40/night
so thats not a little bit of cash to throw into a country that cant get its shit together, or where someone would give us a good decent 10 year contract.. Nope
To invest in doing something for backpackers and dormitory room is not worth the investment.
Friend of mine owns a beautiful resort on the Mekong outside Chiang Khan in Thailand...Cost him with the land ( 15 rai) and 12 bungalows ( $10-12,000 each) he sunk in over $350,000, bungalows go for $30-50/night no pool.... https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Revie ... vince.html
BUT he an his thai wife OWN it and nobody can take it from them.....
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
