Ma, look what they've done to Otres Beach..

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.

The hotel there was called something Hill Resort (going just off memory)

Remember when they carved that huge new road out of the jungle around the headland, back in about 2016 or 2017 ?, after they rebuild the little bridge the year before. Little did anybody know that that was the start of the complete destruction of Otres as we knew it

That halfass concrete pier was put in illegally around 5 years ago by Sokha to take building materials out to a project in Koh Rong and they ordered them to dismantle it. I bet a Khmer girl $50 that within one year, it would be gone. Guess I lost that bet. 🤣😂
Looks like a real sh*tshow in that area now.

Few years back stayed at Spayhiti walked over headland for swim at Otres on the way back coming down the track my girlfriend's 4y old daughter found $100 note, they were very happy , me secretly hoping it was a chinaman's.
It was a good hotel, good people hope it's survived.

Lucky you, you didn't lose that bet as it's not the same pier. That one was dismantled years ago. This is totally new, approved by HE himself. It's part of their coastal development plan, you know Kampot tourist ferry port etc.

Glazing has been added in last 2-3 months, so there has to be few construction workers working at least.

Ok. Whereabouts is this new pier then? I still can't make heads or tails out of these pictures.

The new one is pretty much exactly between Otres 1 and 2. When the Royal Group's (not Sokha) pier was bit further down at Otres 2.
