Sihanoukville is a Mess; Authorities React

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.

Most likely locals. I don't know why they keep on posting images of local tourists traveling for a weekend. It won't revive the tourism sector, especially since rents in shitville have gone through the roof and the Chinese took over most businesses.

I'd love to see what the beach was like once the Khmer dipped though. Must've looked like a South African shanty town :stir:

I know back in Jan 2018, the last time I was there, nearly every hotel, restaurant & bar I had used for 5 years had gone, knocked down or taken over by Chinese

I'd imagine there is virtually nothing left now that isn't Chinese
