Will Kep be the last refuge? Or will it also be invaded by the Chinese?

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.

i would imagine being you, anywhere is boring :beer1:
Kep is for those that know how to enjoy themselves without someone else assisting them, Having a gf with you, family there, cant think of anywhere else < IF i HAD to live in Cambodia, i'd live
30 minutes to Kampot, 2 hours to PP for weekly shopping trips, you have the mtns and the sea an great seafood..Already have atm's LOL

I do agree, anyone with $$ ( serious money) would visit Phuket or Jomtien and check out all the condo developments in place and under construction and consider the same in Kep. Get in early before its to expensive...
we're in :beer3:

all SEA can be boring, more boring than the west definatly.

all there is to do is drink beer and goto those girly bars day in day out.

kep dont even have girly bars just mountains and a corner store and a jetty.

rabbit island is ok but locals are all inbreds and its polluted.

Pleanty of Chinese over the river working. Also looks like a new addition, of a supermarket on the far side of the casino. Here they are renting all the new builds near the factory's.

yeh that would be nice but aussies are a hard sell, they have a tendency to stick to what they know and the free trade is often dominated by other already rich asians.

I cant compete with that simple and plain.

I am more worried about Kep being invaded by all the meth-heads and perverts from Sihanoukville who are escaping from the Chinese! Well at least that would make things a bit more lively here.

wont happen, as others have already stated. Kep, for most, is to dam slow
