Re: Pedestrianizing Phnom Penh Riverside

Sounds great but where are people going to park their motos or SUVs? And no mention of the giant bridge that's about to go up on top of the Night Market all the way across the rivers. At night, most streets are pretty empty of parked cars, so I would say most of the cars seen on streets during day ...

Re: Farewell to an Era: Phnom Penh International Airport Set to Shut Down to Make Way for New Airport Next Year

By the way, Vinci has commenced construction on the new SHV airport terminal this month. The groundwork actually began two years ago, but now there are workers actively involved in the construction once more. Of course, this project is much smaller in scale, with only a 3 million passenger capacity...

Re: Farewell to an Era: Phnom Penh International Airport Set to Shut Down to Make Way for New Airport Next Year

Perhaps you could have enough space for next 10 years if you would use the army land as well, but then you would have even bigger traffic problem on Russian boulevard in your hands with twice the trucks and passengers travelling on the Russian boulevard. It is already awful during peak hours. And t...

Re: Farewell to an Era: Phnom Penh International Airport Set to Shut Down to Make Way for New Airport Next Year

Re: Borey living

As said earlier in this thread, there are many different types of boreys, some bad and some good. The better ones are pretty good for families, as usually there are playgrounds, greenery, sports parks, swimming pools, etc. The streets are also quieter. For a single person or couple, I don't really s...

Vinci website has all the numbers. Exact number for 2019 was 6,029,000.

Vinci just got the deal to operate the new airport, and extended the concession deal on Sihanoukville airport. Techo International Airport has nothing to do with Chinese.

Re: Farewell to an Era: Phnom Penh International Airport Set to Shut Down to Make Way for New Airport Next Year

There's a plan for a toll road (above of the 60m boulevard) and also aa plan for a train/tram. I'm fairly sure both will be completed before the new airport hits 10 million annual passenger mark. That's great, but the airport is supposed to open in a year. And it's a 35 km trip into town. To Pochen...
