iirc the landlord sold the land/bar behind their backsdavegorman wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 11:22 am I’ve read those man Kong bar posts. Or I should say I stopped after a while because they so repetitive.
As I understood it the owner offered $60k, then was ordered to pay $100k then $300k but said he doesn’t have it!
WTF!
I went to that tiny Kong bar a few times. Average at best with girls on their phones and looking miserable.
She should have accepted $60k.

Re: More Chinese Takeover in Sihanoukville
yeah theyre meant to be nice, was going to check them out myself, but still a bit close to Pattaya with a lot of bars near by, im in the main part of the town opposite the fish market on the beach, lovely area, nice and peaceful and quiet but with lots of local streetfood, shops, coffee shops, local cafes and markets, 7/11+familymart round corner and all sorts around, yet only 10-15 ride away from LK Metro area, and also my apartment and motorbike are both cheaper than i was paying in Phnom PenhExPenhMan wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 2:32 pmWell done. LOL. I'm also considering Naklua in the next couple of months. Got a couple of friends in one of the Lumpini Villes. They love it there.Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 8:27 pmyeah bro was another fun evening, the football was good too i didnt get back to my room until 6am, ended up down walking street, was destroyed lolExPenhMan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 4:56 pm @Jamie_Lambo I thought I'd sent you a PM of thanks for the LK tour a few days ago but it seems to have disappeared into the ether. Anyway, I had to get to Bangkok a couple of days early so missed a second run to LK. Thanks to you and your bud. "Kink Club is, well, . . . LOL. One thing, LK is cheaper than Bangkok on booze alone. Next time
Back to Vietnam next weekend.
Let me know if you swing by this way again, just got an apartment in Naklua

So did she own/rent the whole block or just that small bar?

Apparently the heavy construction and piling equipment moved into Otres 2 last night at 1am! That's next door to Naia Resort where if I am not forgiven a 22 storey building is planned.
Otres 2 has fallen
It's only a matter of time before the hotels in that area sell up....

Re: More Chinese Takeover in Sihanoukville
Was there last week for the first time in 3 or 4 years. The otres 2 area beachside still looked the same but did indeed notice some billboards for future developments in that area (and obviously the huge apartment complex a bit more inland). Went to have lunch at Tamu hotel and not a Chinese person in sight, French mostly.STEVITO wrote: ↑Thu Jan 17, 2019 9:48 pm Apparently the heavy construction and piling equipment moved into Otres 2 last night at 1am!

The rest of Sihanoukville was quite a shock though. Will probably be nice in 3 to 4 years time but now most of the roads are completely fucked up and it's 1 big building site indeed.
just noise, white noise
