Are there still cheap rooms available in Sihanoukville?

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.

Guess I’ll try Battambang.

It might be a good thing going by recent photos.

I have heard of $300 per sqm asking prices, but no confirmed sales. Different parts attract different prices.

I will be very happy if it gets to $400 sqm in the next year.

Capitalist!

Have you thought about the poor locals who couldn’t afford to buy it (even when it was $2 per sq) and are now being made homeless because their squatting area has been sold?

How is my not buying something at a market price going to help them? If I did not buy plenty others would. I do not set the prices, I am bound by market forces.

Bit more than that usually.

BTW, a mate got notice that the rent on his 2 bedroom small house (85sqm) was going up in February from $500pm to $4000pm. He is moving to Klang Leu.
I saw one on facebook for that, what used to be a $70 apt. Where in Kleang Ler?
Klang Leu is the area on the other side of route 4 opposite the brewery, extending down towards Ream direction for a couple of kms. The place you get your work permits is there.

It is where most of the Khmer's and some Barang have moved. Land has gone from $20 to nearly $200sqm in some parts of the area in less than 2 years.
I know where Kleang Ler is, I live there. I was asking where he was moving to.

He is like a Khmer when it comes to locations or directions. So no idea.

If you've got a wall then you can get your soft title to hard. As far as I can tell most people have the soft title, they've already kicked the squatters off the government land next to me. The shop houses an Oknha is selling at the end of my road next to the highway are going to be up for 20-30k each. Two storey, 4x12.
