More Chinese Takeover in Sihanoukville

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.

Hi Jamie, do you mean that there are a lot of Chinese tourists around now, compared to other tourists ?

I read somewhere recently (sorry, I can’t remember where), that 22% of tourists in SKV are Chinese.

That may be true, but when one takes into consideration the working Chinese population, I would make a conservative guess that 80% of the people I see, excluding Khmer, to be from China.

I’ve nothing against the Chinese at all, I lived in China for a couple of years, but such is their influence right now, I sometimes have to remind myself that I am actually in Cambodia, and not Macao!

Some/most of those new buildings are truly fugly, and don’t belong in a medium-sized Cambodian beach resort.

Is the Chinese food good, and what are the prices like?

Let’s think positive; I doubt many Chinese speak Khmer yet therefore la crème de la crème among us can have the upper hand in many disputes.

Thinking positive, they, the Chinese may always offer the biggest money to settle any dispute, :stir: .

Is it that bad Jamie! What of the square?
yeah i mean i thought it was bad 5 months ago, but even as Rozzie had warned me i wasnt expecting to have changed THAT much in such a short time,

went down the square last night, its full of young chinese boys/men hanging out, even the gloryhole had about 6 of them in

the buildings along the road from the downtown bend to the golden lions on the left hand side is all knocked down and chinese developments, cranes and construction everywhere on both sides its a right eyesore, chinese billboards on the construction sites, and all the shops that are already finished are all chinese signed no english

even went with some girls to eat soup at the night market at like 5am, a thing ive liked to do for many years,
they had already to my great disappointment demolished the night market before i had left but now its an ugly construction site,
there is still a few restaurants fortunately on the other side of the road on ktv street but its not quite the same
