with all the Chinese money leaving, will all these buildings just sit half finished?

There is a possibility that they finish it at one point in the future. Why not go back then? There even might be an oversupply on rooms which could lead to reasonable hotel prices.

it was never that good, even back in 2006-2009, I think last time i was there was 2015 and only spent the night to see friends> It wont ever have the lawlessness/uniqueness it had back than, no matter if they finish the massive amount of hotels or not.
and to go somewhere cause there are cheap rooms, is not a reason i travel...

written by Intrepid Travel January 15, 2020

If you want to see the face of overtourism, take a plane to Phnom Penh and catch a bumpy five-hour bus to Sihanoukville – a once-sleepy town on a little peninsula in the Gulf of Thailand. Sihanoukville is the jewel of Cambodia’s tourism industry. Or at least it used to be.

If you visited Sihanoukville five years ago, you might not recognise it today. The town has been swamped by foreign investment and tourism, mauled by construction. In fact, we’ve just made the difficult decision to stop visiting Sihanoukville altogether. As of this year, it no longer appears on Intrepid’s Cambodian itineraries, which is a terrible shame on so many levels.

We started coming here back in 2007. At that time, Sihanoukville was still a blip on the average tourist’s radar. Serendipity Beach drew a steady crowd of unshaven backpackers, and there were a few bungalows popping up near Otres Beach, but most tour buses still made a bee-line north from Phnom Penh, shuttling visitors back and forth to Siem Reap. Cambodia’s coastline was kind of ignored, especially compared to Thailand’s archipelago, pulsing and flashing just across the Gulf. Sihanoukville was growing, but slowly. If people knew how good it was, they weren’t telling anybody.
