Cambodia's Clean City Contest !

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.

But that's a gated/walled compound, right? That doesn't count.

I recognize that condo area - move like 50 meters left or right of it... And how does the water look at the back of the building?

UPDATE 2022

Three Cambodia’s Provinces Win ASEAN Clean Tourist City Standard Awards
AKP Phnom Penh, January 19, 2022 --
Image
Battambang, Seim Reap(sic), and Preah Sihanouk provinces of Cambodia have won the ASEAN Clean Tourist City Standard Awards for their cleanliness, green environment and smart facilities.

The award hand-over ceremony will be held at the ASEAN Tourism Forum in Preah Sihanouk province, according to the Cambodia Clean City Committee’s announcement on Jan. 17.

Valid for 2022-2024, the ASEAN Clean Tourist City Standard (ACTCS) aims to equip ASEAN member countries with a tool that will improve the quality of tourism in their cities, increase their marketing competitiveness.

It also contributes to improving the livelihood of the residents, alleviating poverty, and protecting the environment to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

It is expected to offer ASEAN member countries with benchmarks to aim for and ultimately lead to greater tourist satisfaction, greater numbers of visitors and better conditions for the local population.

The selection of the winning cities is based on a set of indicators that evaluate how sustainable the nominated ASEAN cities are, assess the quality of the tourism they offer, and identify areas that can be improved.

It's all very promising these small scale awards but in the big scheme of things it's still pretty bad. This morning I could barely see the other shore of the Tonle Sap river due to the smog. Was around 8 am

Agreed, still a trash problem. Don’t let the pat on the back let you forget about the boot in the ass.
