Re: Israel and Palestinian Conflict

Maybe they should not give two hours' notice of the attack next time? It makes me think this was all a face-saving exercise by Iran after Israel blew up part of their Embassy in Syria and killed one of their military leaders. That's quite a 'fuck-you' in diplomatic terms. I don't think Tehran wants...

Re: Happy Songkran 2024

I have to admit, that I like it in Thailand, where the water war is lived out at daytime.

Re: PM seeks ban on water gun games during KNY after foreign tourist injured

Anyone in a tuktuk was getting a soaking last night in the central area. St 13 was blocked with sodden revellers from St 110 southwards. No Grabs available. Walking around I did not get very wet if I avoided the big party areas. Many bars closed. Many young punks racing around and zigzagging on moto...

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

It got developed into a big facility a few years ago with a super long runway that can accommodate the biggest wide bodied planes and the terminal can handle 8 million pax per annum.In 2018 the number of pax reached 4.19m but it dropped in 2019 even before Covid a...

Re: Parliament in favour of legalising gambling to boost economy

Oh dear. That will halve Cambodia's "tourist" entries at one swoop. Not sure it would have such a huge effect on Cambodia's economy, however. I suspect most of those Thai gamblers are spending in Thai-owned casinos in Poipet, and not staying even one night. Not much cash reaches the wider ...

Re: SERVICE-appartement in DAUN PENH

The Sunway used to have a reputation as a top notch hotel, especially with Americans. It has fallen off the radar a bit and the location is questionable, unless you want to be near the US Embassy.
