Koh Kong

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.

That's bizarre, I wonder if there are any cases of it ever happening?

So using the same logic, the Singaporeans are stealing sand from people upstream by dredging within a year of it being deposited?

Agree, bizarre.

Technically/legally....No immovable structures are legally allowed to be constructed within 20 meters (iirc) from the rivers edge...I have a copy of the Prakas on this somewhere, will try and dig it up.

Reality...do what you want.

Would forested or jungle areas be sufficient? I've never actively looked at rents there, but I'd assume you could easily get something for $200/month. What are your requirements? A house on some farmland or in the city? Do you need proper land surrounding it? I don't see why being close to Trat would be an advantage in any way unless you need to get special supplies or something.
Jungle honey is the best. There are a lot of poor people in the countryside Frank. I'm sure you could negotiate your right price, especially if you went with the right local translator. $100 extra a month is a big income for some farmers.
I think being next to any border right now isn't a bad thing. Trat used to be a nice quiet town, getting more developed now. I like the idea of being that close to decent hospitals etc.
See crook!!!

You assume far too much.

As it happens, I have around 3 ha of land out there somewhere (flb could rent it). It has a small river/stream running through it. Do you really think I would be building any structure within range of any potential future flooding or erosion?

Bring on Kiwi's prakas.


Oh and by the way, I believe FLB was inquiring about rental prices in KK. Not about buying land and distance from rivers to build, etc.

I know. That's why I told the guy who advertised a place for sale flb wanted to rent. Get it?

I trust kiwi's information. He's reliable.

He has never let us down
