Loud bang heard st 154 & 51

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

It's been building up since the last election but I think bad tourist business has to be factored in too. The number of visitors is up but it wasn't a bumper year in the cash registers compared with previous ones

Here goes the Something big is gonna happen" again. Nothing will happen, HE has the Army and police well in his pocket.

Businesses are selling because the number of bars/guest houses/hotels has grown at a much faster pace than the number of tourists. Add to that land prices and rents that have gone crazy and 50-Cent beers and room rates that are free-falling and it is hard to make a buck.

agreed, its always the unexpected that caught the government by surprise, i.e. small garment factory protest that turns violent etc

btw gunshots dont produce loud bang, more like some muted metal clanging sound, very disappointing, thats why hollywood added sound effects to gunshots

I both appreciate your cynicism and hope you are right. However simply because the outcome is predictable does not mean nothing will happen.
