I notice a few members live in Chbar Amov and curious why they chose that particular area?
Any supermarkets and restaurants down there?
Is there an expat community?
Rents a bit cheaper/better quality?

It's true to say about the traffic at the bridge, I will avoid it at all costs at around 5pm, but not having to commute to work I am lucky. It also depends on other times if you are traveling by what mode of transport, I ride the Moto at most times and have no problems, sometimes unfortunately at rush hours, but I don't let it bother me has I am not in no rush myself.
It is certainly changing around the area with the new builds of the Boreys. Plenty of coffee shops and restaurants and supermarket's, and Dan's meats now has a shop there.

For supermarket's I tend to use Sambo, open until 10pm. If later there are plenty just a short ride over the river open 24 hours, and I would possibly tie that visit on return from a restaurant.
Just a few more maps for you.


I am still finding things around the area myself and I must have been here over 6 months now.
Came across a little Khmer coffee place the other evening on the Riverside.



The other thing is like now for me traveling around, such as heading towards Kampong Cham, I tend to get the ferry so I don't ride in the city at daytime, at $1 for two people and the Moto it's a good price.

A friend thinks it would be a great place for a burger joint.

It does appear that khmers like Western fast food.

Has your friend told McDonalds

I don't think McDonald's is interested in Cambodia.

It does not fit their real estate model.

Hey, why do Khmers like Pizza and hate cheese?

Also, they don't go much for chocolate. Never figured that out.

Chbar Ampov River Cafe Collapses
October 2, 2019

The café next to the Mekong River under the brand "Coffee Chow" in the village of Chan Chan, Sangkat Chbar Ampov 2, Chbar Ampov district started sinking into the river at 12 noon on September 29, 2019.

According to the shop owner, the heavy rainfall, mixed with continuous winds for several days, led to the rising tide of the river, causing the columns to collapse. The place was becoming dangerous, so he and his family decided to shut the cafe, collect all their belongings, and get to safety.

Shortly after they moved out, there was a heavy rainstorm causing the wellknown cafe to collapse into the river almost 100%. Fortunately no one was hurt. Unfortunately, the family's residence, built on the same riverbank, is also threatened.

WOW that's not good news. I looked back on when we were there, actually on the 27th.
