Sihanoukville is a Mess; Authorities React

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

I think they're coming by sea now. Or, were.

The next arrivals have been delayed while they take swimming lessons prior to departure.
I mentioned that, she has seen it on Fb.
Her reply was;
Now close a lot of online computer here.
Police go check every days.

Public toilets to be built on Sihanoukville beaches

Nine public toilet blocks are being constructed at strategic locations along the beaches in Sihanoukville as part of making the city more attractive to tourists.

Kheang Phearum, Preah Sihanouk provincial spokesman said yesterday the toilets are being built along O’chheuteal beach, Otres Beach and Chum Teav Mao Beach.

And the waste from the toilets will go where? Keep your mouth closed when swimming.

At a Sihanoukville Beach, Stinky Wastewater Flows Into the Sea

Foul-smelling wastewater is draining into the sea at Sihanoukville’s O’Chheuteal beach, leaving visitors plugging their noses and a local business owner and tourism official concerned that the stink will scare off tourists.

People began smelling a strong stench from wastewater flowing into the sea after a new sewer drainage system was built earlier this year, said Mean, a beach restaurant owner who only gave her given name due to fears of reprisal.

“The patrons always asked, ‘where does the smell come from?’ when they arrived, and I told them that it was from a sewer nearby and they saw, so they know,” she said. “My mother used to tell the relevant authorities who came to see this sewer but they just made a report to the upper level and there’s no solution so far.”

The sewer was built in March this year and the foul smell got worse in June, Mean said.

A CamboJA reporter visited the site in October 2021 and saw what appeared to be raw sewage flowing from nearby public toilets directly into the sea. Last week, CamboJA reporters observed the new drainage system built near the restrooms — and smelled the foul odor of the wastewater draining into the sea.

Preah Sihanouk provincial tourism department director Taing Socheat Kroesna acknowledged the issue, saying the odor would hurt beach tourism if it went unresolved.

They probably used half of the concrete meant for the roads to build the walls around the slave compounds.

And the public toilets. Shit show. Like everything else in..... Shitsville

Maybe a decoy to lure the tourists into the "fresh and clean air" of the casinos. The casino mafia dont want their sheep to hang around the beaches, they want them at the tables.

It’s always like that. Selfish tits parking where they want and blocking the road.

It needs to be moved out of town, like Sangkat 5 out near Don Bosco area.

It wasn't that bad when people only had Moto's.
As for the shit show, town planning from the middle ages, how could anyone come up with that idea.

I wasn't there when everyone had motos, that would have been in the late 90s early 2000 - about the same time when you'd never see a local walking a dog on a lead.
