Kampot tourist boats to move to east side of river

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.

recently seen heavy equipment in there for boring big holes for 6m or more deep pillings...
Yes, that is what I witnessed and about 5 worker's not doing a lot. One of the plant equipment seems also to have subsidised it's self into the ground. But again another day and they could have a large crew in there.
The works I understand has been proposed for a long time, even people were moved along with their businesses, and the warning of the disruption caused for nearby establishments when work is commencing. It seems that is how things work here, and then followed by no, or little progress. Then again I don't know or understand the conditions of the dealing of these investors. Lets say I am happy they have not got my penny's in their bank.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

In 2017 I signed a one year lease in Sihanoukville.
I was told 2 weeks later the chinese would buy my building.
5 months later, I was given 30 days to vacate.
I climbed aboard the Kampot bound snake and moved down the coast to slim pickensville.
I found a house and within a few months, the owner, was pissed he was locked into the lease. He began to try and sell it. He was delighted when I told him I would move after 11 months if he gave me back my deposit. I moved to Siem Reap. The coast is not worth the bullshit.
I wanted to live in Kep. But, I decided to get off the snake and move.
The snake is what a Khmer friend of mine calls the expat migration after a few beers..

:? East west, to from - these are not important terms in navigation.
You could be next.
