Golden Sorya Mall transformed into "Phnom Penh Pub Street"

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.

Drove past there about 08.30 this morning and all the bars next to this place were half full of skinny, middle aged crack whores and obese, geriatric long-noses on their 10th beer of the day.

Good luck cleaning up that cesspool.. :D

Just drove past now and I think the same people are still there 11 hours later. The north side does look kind of cool if it ever fills up that is.

"down-at-heel party girls and small-time drug dealers vied for the attention of mostly elderly and often decrepit Western male visitors"

I don't see any PP businesses refusing any dollars from all those elderly and often decrepit Western males. When I hit the point where I'm elderly and decrepit, I really don't anticipate trolling for whores and drugs. That's just me.

They have to try or they will fail. Higher drink prices and good security.

If they do manage to clean the area of the riff raff the question is... where Will they go? They won't just cease to exist and i doubt they will reintegrate into normal society overnight. So i wonder which area/street will become the next GSM(of old).

Personally i liked the old GSM... was always interesting to watch the passing train wrecks with the occasional bout of free entertainment courtesy of the security guards and their latest victim.
