We already have the Thai IKEA resellers in Cambodia, somebody give the minister a heads up

Also, Heng Heng Bedding would probably lose some customers if IKEA moved in

IKEA, being the prolific tax avoiders that they are, aren't even headquartered in Sweden anymore.

Or an uncle with a big piece of empty land just right for a long-term lease.
Or maybe Ming wants some Swedish balls

All these possibilities are so exciting

I drove past a building undergoing restoration that had Tesla written on the side. I think it was along Russian Blvd somewhere but can't quite remember. I am sure Elon will be here as soon as quarantine rules are lifted
Looks like that TESLA Dealership is unofficial... Only in Cambodia would you see this :crazy:

Adisorn Chieu was listed as director of both firms and Preedawannalert Kompakorn was named as a secondary director of Tesla Engineering and Construction.

But the names were mere coincidence.

Chieu told The Post that his Tesla is not affiliated with the US electric vehicle giant and works with international partners on technology and engineering.

“My company’s name was registered in 2013, and it is not related to Tesla Motors,” he said using the US automaker’s former name.

“It is just a tech company named after famous scientist Nikola Tesla as an inspiration. At the time, the automobiles named Tesla were not widely known in Cambodia.

“To be clear, we have no connection to the import or authorised distribution of Tesla cars in Cambodia, but I do wish for a worthy automobile supply to the Kingdom’s market and people,” he said.

Neither Tesla, nor distributors in Australia or Asia responded to requests for comment as of press time.

IKEA have pulled advertising from a new TV channel just started in the UK, GB News. They were urged to do this by a group called "stop funding hate" GB News is not a right wing channel but aims to counteract the leftie/gay/BLM,Trans propaganda by the BBC so fuckem !

Also they planned to build a huge storage hub to Vietnam that will handle all the logistics for whole the SEA. After that they want to expand to Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar. Though for these smaller markets they plan to build only small city center showrooms, instead of those traditional huge stores, but all the products would be available through their online store. They have trialed smaller showrooms in Singapore already.

So I do believe that within 5-8 years we will see Ikea showroom in Phnom Penh.
They haven't yet opened in Vietnam...wish they would!
