Did you grow up in the countryside? Phnom Penh is way less hectic than almost any capital I have visited.

Nop always been a city guy but what annoys me about PP is that for example these motorcycles have a tendency for using the pedestrian pavements. Then the lack of parks , greens. Anyway what do u think is so great about PP maybe I overlooked it?

Almost overnight Vietnam has become unviable as a place for Digital Nomads due to the new visa laws.

What western amenities are missing from Sihanoukville and Siem Reap? Also pre-covid connections from Siem Reap and Sihanoukville were pretty good.

Also interesting to see Sihanoukville getting so much votes comparing to all the negative comments in threads about Sihanoukville.

People are hoping the tide will turn and it will become habitable again.
May be good timing for business minded people to stake out a pitch if it is thought that tourism will soon come back.
I am Assuming the infrastructure upgrades like sewer and power are complete now?

well, I like the ocean draft/ sea breeze and to look at the sun setting over the ocean with a cold beverage next to me. So Snooky it is for me!

And yes, I have noticed that there have been some ongoing construction in Snooky over the last five years, but there must still be a nice spot on the outside of the city left for me?

Kampot but Sihanoukville in a few years.

Kampot for me. I absolutely love it there. There are so many places around the outskirts to sit and relax next to the river. I just find the whole vibe of the place very peaceful and relaxing. And on the odd occasions I need to pop back to PP for some reason, I can get there and back easily within a day.

That could be.

Road and major sewer network upgrades completed. Wastewater facilities and water supply are upgraded in phases and first phases were completed last year but for example behind Sokha the water treatment facility phase two upgrades are still on going. Haven't heard citywide blackouts or water outages happen anymore for over a year now.

As a retiree traveller with wife I second Kratie as it is small, cheap to stay and still has a little of that original cambo vibe. The surrounding area is stunning if you love nature and relax contary to bars and having fun.

Choice of western food and/or good restaurants is limited but as we love to cook as much as possible, ingredients for lovely home cooked food are all there. 5-10 liter of good olive oil will make my stay even more comfortable on a long stay.

From time to time we fly out for a thai/filippino beach holiday (to some remote island) to have our share of beach time. Evey couple of weeks a visit to PP or BKK (better) to have some city life. Cambodia beaches have mostly lost their appeal beeing overpriced or horribly developped...or with no service at all (im out of Robinson Crusoe lifestyle).
