Golden Sorya Mall transformed into "Phnom Penh Pub Street"

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.

Why have they kept that "Golden Sorya Mall" sign and the old shitty gold frontage?
I thought they were trying to rebrand?

I don't think it even is a font, someone has just made it by hand (all the "Ps" are different". I agree that it's shit.

Now I wish I hadn't looked at the "font". I can't unsee that ugly, childish script. :facepalm: =@ =@ =@

Drove past there yesterday in a cramped minivan and Mrs Stroppy pointed out the renovations. We're occasionally involved in a good works thing that's based over the road.

I've noticed the arrival and increased useage of the plural noun "decrepits" with regard to the patrons of this area, and found it offensive. As we were driving past, I thought to myself, "Oh, now I get it."

If you're one of those that were there at the time, I'm sure it wasn't you I saw ... you were, umm... in the bathroom?
Spoiler:
Relax, we'll all be decrepit one day.

Really? We are supposed to believe that some twenty of khmer entrepreneurs rent these small areas for at least 1000$/month without, of course, get discount because they are friends with The Man ? :clap:
