What's up with Kampot ? Is it next in line ?

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. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Apparently a 41 story building with condos right on the riverside is planned - they have fenced off the site already but the developer has a history promising this sort of thing and it languishes like an eyesore for years

Some dude is trying to presell some loft style places for about 15k on the KPot Noticeboard atm

Does anyone know what the high rise building they're erecting at the big market in Kampot is gonna be? Doesn't look like apartments or a hotel, a showroom or mall or something?

I think you hit the ''jackpot '' there.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Phnom Penh
Publication date 12 June 2018 | 10:10 ICT

Kampot provincial police have appealed to the public to be aware of a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) scam, in which Chinese criminals kidnapped fellow Chinese nationals and attempted to extort the victims’ families for their release, police officials said on Monday.

Dan Vutha, a deputy district bureau chief, told The Post that two years ago, a group of 10 Chinese criminals kidnapped Chinese nationals. They have since been arrested and deported to their home country, he said.

“The appeal is not only for Cambodians, but for all people living and working in Cambodia, especially Chinese migrants staying at construction sites,” Vutha said.

In March, Immigration Police arrested 100 Chinese nationals in Phnom Penh for allegedly running a large online phone-extortion ring that involved acquiring compromising photographs of victims and threatening to send them to family back home.

According to Vutha, there are many internet-extortion rings, and the authorities are investigating them.
