You know this picture will turn up again somewhere as “fact”, and if you deny it you must be one of those China lovers (cue Jamie’s Asian gif).

I wonder when Google will go back and do another street view?
It’ll be a real eye opener!

the streetview picture is 2014 but the area in the picture nearest the camera (not the top golden lion end which isnt in view anyway) looked the same as the picture up until 2018, so visually it is right

Not really. That area was developing way before that in at least the end of 2016, about the same time Aqua shut.
When you live somewhere permanently you notice every bit of construction and I drove down that road weekly.

Huh??
i lived in SHV up until the end of 2017 when i then moved to PP, but still visited SHV every month,
I was still having my breakfast at Aqua Resort well into 2017
Pubstreet (old golden lion plaza) didnt get knocked down until May 2018
my friends who own Sovannaphoum guesthouse next door to pub street didnt sell to the Chinese until last year and it had not long been knocked down when i last drove past around Xmas time 2018

Yeah maybe right about Aqua and yes Pub Street was knocked down May (22nd), thought it was later. However, my point still stands. If you lived there permanently like I did during that time you would have noticed the development starting in 2016, maybe even late 2015. Not just there but up Mittapheap street near BS and the other side of Ekereach Street.

Point being that picture you posted is slightly misinformed and is now being shared on FB! Lol

I noticed activity in SHV end of 2015 early 2016. Land being cleared, few trucks in a few parts of the city, and thought “Oh oh, what’s all this then?” Especially down that area in the picture.

Anyway. Who gives a fuck. It’s fucked.
