flooding

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.

Kampong Speu - Update: The authorities are preparing forces to evacuate and assist the flood victims in the province. Police commander of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces Command, Chea Sarun, told Rasmey Kampuchea that his entire armed forces were ready to assist and protect the villagers living on the Prek Thnong river, which could face serious flooding.

Road between kep and kampot has no water on it BUT the condition is pot holed all the way, where as 2 years ago could easily drive from our house to downtown kampot in 25 minutes, tonight took over an hour

I drove down highway 7- 6-61-51-3-31 today from Kampong cham via Oudong took about 4 1/2 hours.. No parts of the road are gone

Arrived at your destination safely. Good trip then, and you never had to get the boat out?
Was good to see you, (it's been a long time since I saw you up country). Pity that there's no good food in this place.

How was 51 coming off 61 and to where it intersects with Rt 4 ?
I used it around 18 months ago and approx 40km up to the Rt 4 intersection was badly potholed, lots of dust and trucks. It would be a great PP bypass if they've fixed it.

bit of road work, maybe less than 5kms, but overall a great get around PP route

PS; i find driving on Cambodian roads mentally draining compared to Thailand, Laos, Myanmar and Malaysia

That ring road will make a big difference - they have made huge progress in the last 18 months and as a PP bypass to B'Bang or SR from the south coast it will be brilliant

I hear that my fave road 41 is a potholed mess now

Yes, good question. How did the 48 fare? It is always a bit shit. Was thinking of going to Kampot soon, maybe best to wait a while!?
