Results of rain in Sihanoukville. 9/05/2019.

Can't see the video above ?

I was wondering how the beach area to the left of the pier (looking at the sea) was doing ?

It was a right mess with very few people there in Feb 2018 on my last visit, haven't seen many pictures of it since ?.

That’s Huy Bunleng the (CPP) journalist and posts the same video every time it rains.

In fact most of his videos are of him driving along a road and equally as dull.

A mega-resort planned for Victory Beach is underway.

Massive resort breaks ground on coast
11 June 2019

The company behind the project, Chinese property conglomerate Prince Real Estate Group, hailed the development as a “new landmark in the property sector in the coast.”

According to a company announcement, works on the project’s foundation began in August last year, with the main construction work starting last week.

“The foundation of the project has been laid, and now work is beginning on the main structure.
“The estimated date for completion is March 2023,” the company said.

“Prince Tian Xi Wan is a masterpiece of international coastal resort of 340,000 square metres in Sihanoukville,” the company said, adding that it is strategically located along Victory Beach adjacent to the provincial town.

The project, which will be developed by China Construction Fourth Engineering Division (Cambodia) Corp., Ltd, will comprise a five-star hotel, five-star standard serviced apartments, the largest duty-free shop in Sihanoukville, a luxury shopping walk, an IMAX cinema, a yacht dock, and beach bathing, Prince Real Estate Group said.

“As a leading enterprise in the Cambodian real estate industry, the Group owns a land reserve of over 12 million square metres, a reserve volume of development of more than 20 million square metres, and an investment capital exceeding $2 billion,” it added.

“The Group has chosen Sihanoukville as a strategic city for its developments, which is a sign of the city’s significance. In addition to Prince Tian Xi Wan, upcoming projects in the province include Prince IT building, Prince Times Hotel, Prince City Center, Prince Splendid New Town, Prince Treasure Island, and Prince Seashore No. 1.

“Soon, a large-scale industrial cluster covering leisure and entertainment, tourism and vacation, high-end hotels, international business, and quality residences will be built, making Sihanoukville into an international tourist attraction,” the company added.

Lao Tipseiha, secretary of state at the Ministry of Land Management, said at the 2019 Real Estate and Construction Forum last week that over the last four months, the government approved 1,420 projects worth a combined $2.7 billion. During the same period last year, just 1,171 projects, worth around $1.6 billion, were approved.
