Yeah, so Sihanoukville didn't exist. Looks like the port of Kampong Saom was nearer Srey Ambel.

That is an outrage! Google should label it "New Beijing" and be done with it.

Re: Google Translate is freaking out Sihanoukville
I'd prefer some sort of 'combo' of the old and new - Xi'anoukville (phonetically, it's almost the same).
You could be next.

What matters is only how the locals are calling, that's the true name.
Frogs have a tendency to give a new name to every city they've been through.
Sihanoukville, Pekin, Londres, Cambodge (Cambodia) ...
Ok, chinese does the same too

I worked with an American who couldn't say Cambodia... it was "Camboja". That's okay though... because he thought Busan and Pusan in Korea were two different cities.
