Like many Asian cities today, PP is another example of a city that was only planned for a certain population size naturally failing at non planned growth rates.

Yea, it's pretty depressing. Even the Pochentong Children's Park on the way to the airport, not a big place at best anyway, is having some sort of apartment building built on it.
It's all a-okay though! It's going to have a small courtyard in the middle with some shops on the ground floor!

The powers that be are waiting for an NGO to pay them off, pay off existing land owners, and then build and maintain the parks for them.
They wait a while in a flooding city, and then the Japanese come and build a drainage system. And now the Japanese have come and build an even more extensive drainage system for the expanding city.
They wait a while while their people get bitten by mosquitos and then the Australians provide.
Ditto with water purification, medical care, etc.
The Khmer rulers are smart. Plus they can fly to foreign countries whenever they tire of Cambodia. Or just build their own slice or not Cambodia where they live.
I’m starting to sound like Explorer..
... must try to stay positive.

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.
