No but if they take the money for a sky train it could be in a few years when combined with airports and ports.

Re: 25 Japanese Phone Fraud Suspects Extradited from Cambodia, Headed for Japan
You know they were probably trafficked, right? Cambodia likes to say everyone working on these fraud buildings is a suspect instead of a victim so they don't look so bad when they all get deported.

Re: rent deposit question for those that know
Make he could say so we don't have to get the police involved give me back 80% and they settle around 50% with each side unhappy but better off than now.
If he fully paid up seems like he made good and the landlord shouldn't keep all of it.

Re: Grab app not what it was?????
Grab recently added sharing your actual location and not just the pin you put with the driver which will hopefully help with pickups. Overall grab is still better than pass app for location and routing.

From the Greek restaurant go towards cloud / the water maybe half a block. From hub street cocktails going towards bassac street...

Re: Kep or Kampot? The Trip Report. Day 2
Fish market definitely a tourist trap, sucks you didn't even get to enjoy the view properly though. Curious to see if twenty three or hotel old cinema make an appearance as they are my most consistently good nicer places in kampot. The aforementioned ecran and nom tom bakery definitely institutions ...

Re: Kep or Kampot? The Trip Report.
I had the same issue with that lasagna a few months ago. By far the worst I've ever had and I'd never eat there again.

Re: How is the Phnom Penh Bar/ Nightlife scene now?
Everything is a bit slow right now except the Khmer customer base places. With a lot of teachers gone and it being rainy season most of the foreigner targeted businesses are super slow.
The range of types of places to go is pretty good now though.
