Koh Rong: Concrete road development began. Electric grid and airport coming

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.

Koh Rong airport, who would have thought :(
It such a small island, I get the road, but the airport seems stupid out side of military use
Next you''ll be saying there shouldn't be a golf course or horse racing.
Lol!!! I saw detailed plans way back in about '08/'09 when they first dished out the major round of 99 yr island concessions.
This very same group had the race track, the golf course, the condos, the casinos and the airport all beautifully laid out in architect's ink.

I still clearly remember being totally flocked-up for a while - trying to get my head around a racecourse on this stunning, pristine island i was passing on the old ferry trip to and from Koh Kong back then.

I have seen similar detailed architectural drawings for Koh Tang.
I soon worked out what many other members here would know - that grand and detailed plans are a big part of the whole land scam here. And inked-in airports are often included.

I actualy think the long term big plans, including maybe a small tourist airport, were feasible for Koh Rong - and that the timing was about right.
It is a very capable company, and personally i have no doubts about the huge porential for billions of chibolese toyorists here.
But Cv19 has blown the clock back another few years i reckon.

Still can't get my head around the race track tho'.
You are probably not thinking of a Cambodian Universal Race Track , where there is horse racing one day, car racing the next, motobike racing the next and greyhound racing the next day
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.

There is no war.
