What if they start to spread their wings and try their luck with a few well-heeled expats?

If the Chinese government, with all its power and influence here, cannot protect its citizens and get the authorities to stamp out these K&R / cyber scam industry, what possible chance would your embassy have to get you out?

Just come back from Sihanoukville, and i liked it. Much cleaner then PP, now traffic-jams, hardly cops asking tea-money. Found twice a nice restaurant, Poipet-bbq, good food for reasnoble price and 0.75c beers. Yesterday eat at Romdoul Buffet near 2 lions roundabout, open for 2 months, nice buffet with even live music, great choice of seafood. 12.90 a peron and 1 dollar anchor can.
Hotel was ofcourse chinese-runned, a bit noisy because of on the main street.
Just arrived back with Larryta, 14 dollar and in 3 hours back in PP, more or less on time, no stops on the road, straight ahead by tollroad.
Will go back to Sihanoukville for sure.
Beaches not dirtier then in thailand.
Maybe they cleaned a bit more as usual for chinese newyear, but i have no reason to regret.
And the chinese: knever had problems with them, knever been kidna^pped either.
Car was not stolen either . . .

Lol, you went to Sihanoukville, and you didn't get kidnapped, held up at knifepoint, or wounded in cross-fire between casino gangs ? :plus1:
Spoiler:
Ask for a refund.

Lol these were funny back in 2019. Sihanoukville is safer for white face than Phnom Penh or Kampot for example.

@Bongmab69 Nice to hear you had good experience. The place has truly changed. I have similar feeilng about it compared to PP. It's a really nice place now days. I have been going there almost weekly lately. Need to try that buffet place next time! Let me know if you need hotel recommendations for you next trip.

And no, they clean streets and beaches frequently so the main streets and beaches are pretty clean always.
