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.

Yes, good question. How did the 48 fare? It is always a bit shit. Was thinking of going to Kampot soon, maybe best to wait a while!?

After passing over Hainan, Tropical Storm Son-tinh has its sights set on northern parts of Vietnam and Laos in the coming days.

As this storm tracks westward, the greatest risk for flooding and local damaging winds will increase from northern Vietnam and Laos into Thursday.

Rivers have also burst their banks in Ratanakkiri.

23 July 2018 - Villagers were evacuated to higher ground in some parts of Ratanakkiri, as the Sesan River rose to 25cm above the safety level on 23 July at 5pm, the Ministry of Water Resources announced on its official Facebook page. They will be housed in temporary shelters by district authorities until it is safe to return to their homes.

I think it will, it's close enough to Ratanakiri. And the forecast water level of the Mekong at Steung Treng is already up (I think this has to do with the rainfall in Southern Laos, not taking into account the dam burst, yet).

Ratanakiri is upstream, but Stueng Treng, Kratie, Tbong Kmoum and Kampong Cham might suffer because the Mekong is already pretty high there.

Ratanakiri suffers from water coming from Vietnam. If they have to open the dams there, like in 2009........

Ah, yes, I always think Ratanakiri is 'wider' than it actually is. Anyway, the exact location of the dam that burst:

You map doesn't show the elevation. The water from this dam will end up in the Mekong, not in the Se San because there's a mountain range operating as a watershed between Ratanakiri and Southern Laos.
