Re: Bye-Bye Tonlie Sap
Why not throw a few mill at the roads and rail and develop the existing towns? It;s not like this place is that big........oh sorry! For a second there I forgot I was in Cambodia!

Re: Bye-Bye Tonlie Sap
Well they have been doing that for at least 20 years, but it's been a difficult task. Refurbishing a decaying building (or city) costs a lot more than building a new one. I agree that it's ludicrous to keep building satellite cities if nobody wants them, but so far that hasn't been the case. I've never lived in one, but I can see the appeal of those borey estates with their guarded entrances and quiet streets that kids can play on.Barang chgout wrote:Why not throw a few mill at the roads and rail and develop the existing towns?

Silence, exile, and cunning.

I like them too, but you have to go outside to work and buy food. If only there was a government who worked on roads, drains and public transport. Instead huge amounts of stolen money goes offshore. The place is fucked, let's face it.

Re: Bye-Bye Tonlie Sap
rail to Thailand MAY be open by Christmas IF the ministry releases funds. supposedly it is doable in an engineering sense.
thailand has a lot of rolling stock off the chian mai line for sale very cheap
The King will soon tootle off to Sihanoukville on the train, perhaps after that the money will be allocated.
scoff all you like but it may well happen

Re: Bye-Bye Tonlie Sap
Hang on. Does this say what I think it does ? There are 6,000 residents in a city built for 2 million ? That's an endorsement ?Duncan wrote:If any-one knows of a spare lake that can be filled in for a new Chinese satellite city please contact them.

Country Garden Holdings with a capital of $5 billion is one of China’s top 10 developers and its first overseas venture outside the mainland, in 2014, was the development of the Country Garden Danga Bay satellite city in Malaysia’s Johor state opposite Singapore, with the support of the Malaysian government. More than 6,000 residents all over the world have made their home in Danga Bay, and the satellite city to Johor’s capital Johore Baru can accommodate close to two million people
