Is Kampot Town Turning into a Red Light District ?
Re: Is Kampot Town Turning into a Red Light District ?
That's the kind of strange thing nobody knows about, isn't it...? Should tear it down and build a leafy park with a nice fountain in the middle... Until then, another reason to avoid Kampot...Plan B wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 6:47 am Work on the huge development near the Old Bridge seems to have been halted after around 6 levels. Believe some Chinese involvement in the project but stand corrected.
This takes up a whole block.
Not a good look if the project isn't completed. Anyone know what's going on???

Is this the one?
"Thai Boon Roong Kampot Building is a two-tower development in Kampot, Cambodia. The project occupies an entire city block on the riverfront, next to the old bridge (Entanou Bridge)"
Update from January 2022:
https://futuresoutheastasia.com/thai-bo ... -building/
Not much of an update, just some photos from earlier this year. Apparently, 42-floors are planned,

I may be going to hell in a bucket,
but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Last time I drove by there was action there. Not sure what the status is but it's not dead for sure.Plan B wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 6:47 am Work on the huge development near the Old Bridge seems to have been halted after around 6 levels.

I agree, I walked past a few times and as recently as this afternoon, there's definitely some activity.ItWasntMe wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 8:56 pmLast time I drove by there was action there.

So Chinese are now taking Kampot town already? They built this huge casino/ apartment complex years ago to the Bokor mountain. Something didn't go as planned I guess. This was before covid.

How about that harmony golf development 18km from kampot on the way to PP?
Khmer project. Beautiful setting. "European style", with lots of glass on the villas.... But its not double glazed, and therefore the houses are super hot inside.
Massive plan for thr next 7 years with various villa sizes and styles, a shopping complex, condominium....
Might be a good investment as kampot inevitably will grow.
What does everyone think?

Wasn't this tower widely mocked at the time as Blowfish Tower, also because it was touted as future cloud development center spanning multiple floors?

Its a Thai project in Kampot.

They didn't. That was built by Sokimex, a Cambodian company.
