'No Cambodia left': how Chinese money is changing Sihanoukville

Fake news or the end of SNV>>>as most of us knew it..

The once-sleepy beach town of Sihanoukville has been transformed by Chinese investment – and the sheer speed of development has divided locals

The speed of development has left many locals unnerved. Some estimate that the Chinese make up almost 20% of the town’s population. Of the total number of foreign arrivals in 2017, nearly 120,000 were Chinese – an increase of 126% year-on-year

Why suggest it's fake news ? Or was that a joke ?
It's just one more article on what the Chinese have planned for Sihanoukville, with the full accord of the Cambodian government. I think there are enough CEO posts from people in Sihanoukville, photos, and articles in the press, to suggest that this is really happening. Sihanoukville, as we knew it, is no more. Fact.
After that come the discussions on whether this is a good thing for Cambodia... But, in the end, the deal is done now, so good, bad, or even catastrophic, there is massive change happening, and we have to suck up and deal.

Personally, I thought I would retire and live out my days in a sleepy little Cambodian coastal town. Well, I won't. Three choices now for me - move out permanently, move out for a few years and wait for the dust to settle, hang on for the ride and see what it brings.

Take a look at Vung Tau in Vietnam. Ex-pat population there is growing.

Thanks, but don't think this is for me - theme parks and skyscrapers.

Resorts and theme parks

A big resort project has just been licensed by the Vietnamese government, the Saigon Atlantis. Upon completion, this entertainment project worth US$300 million in capital investment will include resorts, shopping, sailing.[10] The investor of this project is proposing to raise the investment capital to USD $4 billion. Two other noteworthy entertainment projects awaiting licensing are Vũng Tàu Aquarium, which will cost USD 250 million, and Bàu Trũng, a Disneyland-like entertainment park which will cost US$250 million. The project includes Landmark Tower, an 88-story skyscraper proposed to be built and completed by 2010 in Vũng Tàu by a USA-based company, Good Choice Import – Export Investment Inc, once built will likely be the highest building in Vietnam. The project is under consideration for approval by the local provincial government.[11][12]

Maybe I will have to find a sleepy little Cambodian town inland somewhere. But most are a bit too sleepy tbh. Somewhere with a bit of life, but no skyscrapers, and no traffic jams. I'm not difficult. (Much.)

Of the Vietnam coastal towns, I particularly like Quy Nhon, but it lacks easy access to an airport.

My next door neighbour, the Khmer with the Australian accent, was talking about opening a Western bar here in Kleang Ler. On the drive out to PP I saw they've cleared nearly all the hillsides of trees all the way down to Ream, so it should be quite central here in a couple of years. Or six months.
