Phnom Penh rated one of the worst livable cities

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.

Phnom Penh rated one of the worst livable cities

Post by hanno »

Good thing Shitsville was not part of the survey:
Widespread corruption, poor health care and a lack of adequate infrastructure continue to make Phnom Penh one of the least livable major cities in the world, according to the annual Global Livability Ranking, released on Thursday by the Economist Intelligence Unit.

Phnom Penh would be a brilliant city ... if it weren't for the filth spewed by a million motorbike exhausts - if (IF!) the bikers could all
buy cute little electric bikes [some hope!] PP would be one of the world's nicest and most liveable cities.

Remove the garbage, do not use sidewalks as parking lots, follow basic traffic rules, have a few parks and then it might move up a little in those rankings.

Until the day, God forbid, you have an emergency (fire, accident, etc.) and realize nobody will be coming.

You learnt how to tackle a blaze? Perform emergency surgery on yourself after a bike crash? That is pretty impressive :hattip:
