WTF

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.

Ministry Submits Plan for Car-Free Nights Along River
by Phan Soumy | October 28, 2016

Pedestrians will have free reign on weekend nights along Phnom Penh’s prime riverfront artery if a new Ministry of Tourism plan is approved.
The proposal submitted by the ministry to City Hall recommends closing Sisowath Quay from the Royal Palace to the Post Office on Saturday and Sunday from 5 p.m. to 2 or 3 a.m. the next morning, Tourism Minister Thong Khon said on Thursday.

“We want to have a footpath for tourists in Phnom Penh, because tourists have them in other cities,” he said, citing Siem Reap’s Pub Street as one example.
Now at that time of the day it is so busy, so where is all this traffic going to go ?

As usual you follow the steps below:
1/ have a brilliant idea
2/ announce it on Fb and in the local news
3/ work out if it actually feasible
4/decide that no, it's not
5/ move on to next brilliant idea

It could be a good idea, but needs some forethought and a bit of planning.
It's true that it would be more agreeable to sit on riverside without all the traffic fumes.

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.
