Would u return to Snookie... Is it now THAT bad?

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.

quite happy in PP now for the time being
Yeah the longevity foreigners used to enjoy almost everywhere in the KofW has suddenly transmogrified into "now for the time being."
i think a lot of thats to do with the new stricter laws for the long term visas,

That's definitely part of it. But I sense a greater degradation in life quality. Bad goes to worse faster than it reverts to good.
I agree, it's not only the visa situation.
Prices are up, tolerance and respect for westerners seems to have gone down somewhat (in many ways deservedly so, though honestly I can't really describe previous cohorts as especially worthy of respect, so I think it's just the sheer numbers and possibly the facebook effect), Chinese and Korean influence everywhere, and politically what was once a fairly transparently grudging, lip-service, though polite attitude towards the west has degenerated to outright vitriol.

Never. I was in Sihanoukville for a couple of days in 2006, it pissed rain most of the time and I thought the place was the fucking pits, so never went back there.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I think Thailandshe beaches seem to be a logical step forward. If the Chinese in Snookie are ruining it, then seems no point staying. I guess Vietnam also will seem more attractive now.

it has been a year but i plan to go back. it's a nice change for me from the Thai beaches, which always have too many Chinese tour groups, Russian criminals, loud Aussies and other assorted annoying people. far less crowded, better looking girls, more locals and cheaper beer! :lol:

Poo cock not rock. I just spent four weeks there, and while it's a nice place to go for a few days if you want to chill out on a beach, there's nothing else to do. You can go to tourist beaches or you can go to deserted beaches. There is no 'western' shopping (a couple of stores in Duong Dong have a few import goods... mostly Korean). The whole south west coast of the island from Long Beach down to An Thoi has been razed to make way for huge, expensive, luxury resort/condo/villa developments. It's now mostly a hot, flat, barren 'wasteland' with of piles of sand and concrete roads... between nothing... going nowhere. I can't imagine the area being 'nice' for several years; I'm sure they will plant trees (and vegetation grows fast in the tropics) but right now it's depressing. There are almost no apartments on the island. It's all hotels/resorts and geared to tourists.
You could be next.
