They need so much more shade on the riverside. It's so blistering hot when it's sunny that it probably deters a lot of people from spending any time there.

One day someone may come up with the idea of a night food market along that entire stretch.
Tables and chairs set up along the bit next to the river, vendors set up near the grassy bits. Customers can sit anywhere and order from any vendor they choose.
Noodles here, bbq pork there, fresh seafood next to that, then there are some selling traditional Khmer desserts, etc.

That would be nice. I'm sure there would be many who would venture to the riverside night food market if it ever happened.

I'm not sure what you mean, the tree fell over in a storm. These things happen. I bet it will be replaced soon, they have taken plenty of care of the riverside over the past 24 years. There were buildings along the river right up to where the frontage of the Royal Palace is 24 years ago.

If you had read the earlier posts you would notice that I posted [ Thursday 9/6/ ] the picture of the tree blown over in the storm from the day earlier. Place your bets when you think it will be replaced JB. I'm betting someone is waiting for Japan to give more funds.
So you say they have taken care of the riverside ? I have always remembered it as a mud strip when it rained and a dust bowl when it was dry, and a dragstrip for moto's dodging in-between pedestrians.

Still waiting for someone to plant a tree here ?

The Riverside promenade is the only part of Phnom Penh I actually like, I enjoy walking along it, just wish so many Cambodians wouldn't use the riverbank as a makeshift toilet

I'm sure a lot of money has been spent on it, in comparison to most areas of the city

That sky outside at the moment looks like the end of the world is upon us.

Batten down the hatches, timmy!

Good times, I love a storm. There's a kitten hiding in my kitchen, he's in no hurry to go back outside.

We just had one of the heaviest down pours I have seen in many years, here at Takhmau. The streets were so deep they were catching fish on the roads and footpaths.
Everyone should have a waterfront property.
