Banlung: $40k toilet built for Thai princess to be used once

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

guys this is the good princess but wonder whose fucking idea this waste of $$ was;
Following an hourlong meeting with Prime Minister HE at his of­fice building, Princess Sirind­horn­ flew by helicopter to the pop­ular Yeak Lom Lake in Ban­lung City, where a luxurious outhouse had been constructed at her request—and at an estimated cost of more than $40,000.
The princess, however, did not make use of the bathroom during her brief sojourn.

“She did not use the toilet…but she went to see the bathroom,” said deputy provincial governor Nhem Sam Oeun. “When she went back to Phnom Penh, they re­moved the modern toilet.”

The bathroom, which was built over the course of 19 days by a team of Thai laborers hired by the Bangkok-based Siam Cement Group (SCG), made international head­lines over the weekend. In an interview on Friday, author An­drew MacGregor Marshall de­scribed the structure as “an insult to the Cambodian people.”

Rude. She could have pinched one out to make it all seem worth while. That's just common courtesy.

Are you saying she is more prince than -ss? :oops:

"We hate to inform you that Princess Sirindhorn visit ( 2 damn hours) ended without her ever using that $40,000 Toilet, No Flushing. No Shit!

Buttt, the Princess did not even go inside the “Royal Mighty Toilet”. She just looked at it from outside and took some pictures. These are some Shitty Expensive Pictures! Wat a waste of money!"

Butt , everyone's got it wrong. Latest newspaper reports say, it's not a toilet, cause there is no toilet in it. [ it's been removed ]
Lets blame it on the media. Image
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

More on "this is NOT a toilet" :ROFL:

... Nhem Sam Oeun, a deputy provincial governor who previously confirmed that the building was an outhouse, said on Sunday he had only gathered information through informal sources, and had not actually seen inside.

“I just thought that [it was a bathroom] through chatting with other people,” he said of the building, now meant to become a community office. “It has affected not only the province and provincial authorities, but also the country as a whole, because it does not sound good saying we are using a toilet as an office.”...

Sounds like it could all be a dastardly plot to undermine Cambodia's good name. They should chill out, this will make a great tourist attraction. I'm sure that all the locals have already posted their Yaklom toilet selfies on Fb.
