More Chinese Takeover in Sihanoukville

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.

Everyone knows that it could be raining on one side of town and yet have no rain on the other side so the rainfall measured should be taken as an indication only.
Ask an Australian living in the outback why they are flooded out, yet have had no rain.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

LOL. I suppose that he is referring to all the land from the coast to the mountains in Sihanoukville. Chinese are calling this area Westport now. (Because it's a Western Chinese port I suppose.)
Westlake sewage rules. :assasin:

^^ She sure is.

In years to come, Mother Nature will bring a typhoon and teach them why they shouldn't have built so close to the beach.

It's called West Port because Shi Han means west port.
