Sihanoukville is a Mess; Authorities React

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.

Looks like the beach between Otres 1 & Otres 2.

Used to be a lovely quiet walk along there until about 2015-16 when Otres got busy

I would like to see how the Snooky Occhy beachfront looks now ? last time I saw it was in Jan 2018, after they had knocked down all the beach bars for about 250m from the pier, and had the green metal sheeting wall put up around the empty plot of land

Some parts still has the green metal sheeting wall and construction on going behind but on some plots nothing happening. Government also built these new huts for restaurants and bars.

Regular cleaning:

Are the huts tenanted during this downturn? Are the tenants primarily Khmer?

Haven't been in city since downturn started so I don't know. But yes, I would say tenants are primarily locals as was the clientele the last time I was there.

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.
