Islands for sale in Cambodia
Just asking>>>>Is there anything Not for sale in Cambodia/
Island shopping: Cambodian officials buy up the Cardamoms’ coast
A buying spree by Cambodia’s wealthy and politically connected elites has put the fate of a string of small islands in the balance, affecting the livelihoods of local fishers.
Resort developments threaten the Koh S’dach archipelago’s seagrass and coral ecosystems, which harbor rare and threatened marine life.
Local fishers have also found themselves locked out of their traditional fishing grounds by the developers, leading to a loss of earnings.
This story was supported by the Pulitzer Center’s Rainforest Investigations Network where Gerald Flynn is a fellow.
By November 2022, Koh Toteung’s artificial beach had been completed, with workers living on the island and logging the island’s largely untouched forest. Photo by Gerald Flynn/Mongabay.
The tourism development on Koh Ampil’s islands has largely stalled, but the project’s developer – former tourism minister Lay Prohas – requested no boats come within 1km of the islands. Photo by Gerald Flynn/Mongabay.

It's just a matter of time. Mother Nature will set things straight.

They might have flipped them by then, leaving some poor schmuck with a slice of beachfront property, minus the beach.Username Taken wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 2:24 pmIt's just a matter of time. Mother Nature will set things straight.

Like the lakeside stuff, sans lakes. And riverside properties, ot Mean tonle.
I wonder if UT is referring to something more cataclysmic; resulting in preferably less humans?

I once lived right on a beach on Koh Chang when Typhoon Linda passed through. The beautiful sandy beach was all dragged out to sea.

Are you sure? I saw some photos a friend took there about a week ago and it looks like there's still a few hectares of mud there.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 5:10 pm The new kep beach was built up with dirt taken from nearby mtns, sand brought in from offshore by pipes

None of those islands has a beach. It's very difficult to walk around the waters edge.
The logging is to clear land for construction.

When you have to much power and money you look for something beautiful and demolished it
