Sad news. Though same time Xihu and Sunshine Bay hotels have hired over 200 people in last 30 days. All locals.

200 locals Really? That fucking huge orange tiled place (hotel/casino) on Victory beach only hires 35 locals. All just cleaners,security, gardeners and kitchen hands. All other workers are chinese.

Have you gone in a done a nationality’s count then?
I know many locals who work on the casino floor in that casino.

And how many people became homeless and unemployed becuae of that place... regardless of the numbers you or I may assert, the numbers of locals displaced is fare greater.
Talk to Lars, formerly of purple bar on the serendipity beach evicted in the new casino expansion. My guess was around 400 displaced, he tells me more likely near or over 3ooo.

I’m also surprised on the amount of Chinese men exposing their beer belly for the public to see.

There may be many foreigner Chinese investors and a very few expats, but there sure as hell aren't many local Khmer who share your farsighted optimism.
