Construction stopped on Ream Beach, 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.

Do the Chinese realise how much storms affect the beaches there? And where is the sewerage going to go?

That building is surprisingly close to the beach. This month's Bayon Pearnik has an aerial shot of the Chinese plans from Otres 2 through Ream all the way to the airport. Ugly megalithic buildings. The Chinese really aren't good at conservation, architecture and so on. They haven't shaken the old communist habits yet. I'm wondering if the authorities will give them permission and sell off their country to them or not.

By "the same" you mean just as ugly ? I'm afraid they are all going to be "the same" right along the coast. If there is any theme or architectural continuity in the coastal development, it is the consistent ugliness and lack of imagination.

As for the OP, how ironic to give planning permission for the building and then decide that a seawall is a step too far. Could be that local authorities are not happy with their share of the commission for this development ?
yeah just as ugly, but if you see, its a big rectangular building with 2 buildings either side with dome roofs
That's the Taiwanese one, I believe. Of all of the condo projects that's the only one I think will actually be finished

Oh stop being finicky.

A bit of sweet-and-sour poop never hurt anybody.
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right? ;)
