Can you tell me where exactly?
The last bit of Sothearos going south before it meets Norodom, on the left there is a row of shops all selling rattan stuff.
I bought two 2m x 2.5m rattan roll-up blinds for $42 each. I didn't haggle.
Wow 15 USD In Siem Reap locals probably get for 12
That's what I was thinking. I am looking for something a bit more robust. Anyway, I'll take a look and see what they have.

I have, several times. Any reason for your curiosity? Were you there for one of my performances?

No, just heard about.
BTW, do let us know what you pay for your sunblind.

I bought a 3m x 2 metre which covers the balcony about 95% and looks set to protect the balcony from morning sun glare. Of course, on the first day in situ, it is cloudy!

It does not come with instructions as to how to 'rig' it with the rope, and I am not entirely sure it is correctly done now, but it works. Now I just need a cleat fixed to the wall to tie it onto (new job on list).

I paid $48.

From the shop in Sothearos, on the bend in the road. They were not on display, I showed them a picture of what I wanted and they produced one out of a dark corner.
