can see this high season being a big tester

can see this high season being a big fester

So many of the high season short time tourists are of the internet age, they don't take a dump without consulting Tripadvisor first.

No doubt reports of the crumbling roads, traffic jams, intermittent power/water, and uncollected garbage will find its way onto Chinese social media.
Some of the small time Chinese investors that have rented places at 3x normal rate to open restaurants etc must be starting to wonder if they did the right thing.

Update: Illegal beach developments halted in Cambodia
05:38 PM September 19, 2018

PHNOM PENH — After receiving an order from HE, Minister of Land Management Chea Sophara led a team of experts and relevant officials to Sihanoukville to call a halt to the illegal development of a beach.

The prime minister ordered the Prek Treng beach in Otres commune to be restored to its previous condition, a press release from the Ministry of Land Management obtained by The Post on Tuesdaysaid.

“The ministry calls on landowners to be informed that filling in beaches [is not permitted],” the press release says.

Ly Chetniyum, the head of Preah Sihanouk province’s management and construction development office, said the team prevented one of the developers, who had already filled 30 meters of beach, from causing more damage and ordered all construction material removed.

“The owner must remove the construction erected on the [public] beach within 15 days. If the owner doesn’t abide by the order, provincial authorities will take action,” he said.

Chetniyum said the owner, Kan Sokhom, had planned to build a guesthouse or rental accommodation.

“The construction was to build rental accommodation or a guesthouse. When I inspected the site and prohibited construction, I saw there were six or seven toilets erected with [pipes going out into] the sea,” he said.

Sokhom, who was responsible for the construction on the public beach, said: “They asked us to stop, so we stopped.”

Khmer Rise Party president and a member of the prime minister’s recently formed Consultation Forum, Sok Sovan Vathana Sabung said he had investigated the site of the illegal filling in of Prek Treng beach near Sihanoukville on Tuesday.

“Our team are conducting a detailed investigation, looking into possible collusion or corruption by any authority in allowing a female tycoon, whose husband is a member of the Senate, to fill in land in violation of the [laws] of coastal area development,” he said.

He did not name the businesswoman involved or her husband.

What's wrong with that? It's been the standard building code for Phuket ever since the Tsunami.

... and they'll think Cambodia is just like China.

i predicted this more than a year ago, an obvious ponzi, like ghost cities, i could be very wrong given the numbers wanting to escape the polluted homeland.
