Sihanoukville Beach Front New Look + Dolphin Shack

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

On my 1st visit to Snooky a couple of years ago, everyday for 4-5 days, there was a huge fat old guy, must have been getting on for around 200kg's in weight , sitting in the sun in the same chair everyday at the same bar for hours, eating & drinking lots of beers whilst litres of sweat poured off him & soaked into the cushion everyday

It was pretty gross, especially for anybody later that day/evening who sat in the same chair & wondered why the cushion was damp :(

always weirds me out too. I never sit in one w/o shirt on or towels down.

just sayin'

just think its the underside of the tin roofs
That ain't no tin mate, probably the typical fibre cement panels, needs a few more braces for the weight.

Sorry, only did construction when I was very young to pay for school, and only for a month as I realized it was kind of a dead end job and in a boom/bust construction market I could never rely on a job, so back to school.

Usual Cambo construction that will be painted white and have black fungus on it next year. Didn't see any pilings being driven to support the ground floor slab. No 45 degree supports for side to side movement, no support in the walls other than the usual cheap red brick. I may have missed something, but I didn't see a concrete vibrator to settle any of the concrete or proper curing of the young concrete.
i once laid some bricks for a month but it does not make me a bricklayer

Good looking pizza pictured, but not the style I prefer. As I stated before, if you want to see a master at work go to Jeff Varasano's NY Pizza recipe web site. Those who posted comments should at least take the time to see how the best is done.

I'm rooting for three strikes for retard.


If your in Australia go to 400Gradi, Lygon St. Brunswick,Melbourne. Pizza world champion 2014. "Johnny Di Francesco arrived home today after taking top honours against 600 competitors from 35 countries at the Campionato Mondiale Della Pizza (Pizza World Championship) in Parma, Italy.

Johnny is the first Australian ever trained in Naples to the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana VPN rules and he’s the association’s Australasian Principal, travelling the region ensuring pizzeria’s are of the highest standard before officially inducting them into the Association.

notice how it looks like SM's pizza, even down to size. Upon seeing the SM pizza my mind went back to the Jersey and NYC pizza I ate SO much of. I can tell that would be a chewy crust, resisting the bite somewhat. All the chain pie places serve what is basically bread. Papa Johns being the worst, it's more like a biscuit pizza. No toppings? Crap. MOST of the NYC pizza you'd buy would come that way, or with some pepperoni. This was LONG before ppl started the pineapple, burger abominations, now add chicken, bbq and on and on (so why not amok then I suppose). For me the crust and dough are the big thing, makes it. And he's right about the HEAT.
Now I'll go back and read to the end of the thread, but I felt compelled to point out the champion pizza guy seems to be of the same thinking as SM.

also gotta wonder why anyone would prefer metal or cement roofing to thatch, thatch is a natural for native feel, hell at least COVER the modern home depot/EVERYONE has it manufactured roofing. Next I'll read that someone hates all the bamboo they see stuff built with. Personally the new look is a bit too cookie cutter for me. I also hate places built ALL in one short time period. I'm afraid one day all you'll see is the brick slathered with cement block houses. I treasure the old wood buildings and French colonials. Hmmm, LIttle Boxes just popped into my head for some reason, haha.

Thatch roofs are a much bigger fire hazard, and need more maintenance I guess
