Middle of Asia

Post by BronzeMonkNomad »

Hey guys,

So I would like to start a hostel in kampot, it's like extra extra though, cause i'm an artist and i wan't to make it a very useful facility to meet the problems i'm currently having, as well as other aspiring creators. I started a kickstarter for the idea kinda, and we got half funded, so I'm relaunching it because, it got half funded with barely any really information.. cause I just do things on the fly.... which is why i'm here cause I wanna get more solid information as I design this next kickstarter, plus me and my friend that's starting the hostel with me are starting to work on ideas of what we wanna build and all. So my question, I saw another post about some girls asking about starting a hostel, in Cambodia, and someone said Kampot was pretty out serviced also. What are some locations for me to go visit, if Kampot turns out to be not ideal, I'm looking for a lot of open space, by the ocean or river, easy access to the ocean is preferable because i plan on having boats. oh should of said i did a bar gig in Sihanoukville for a month and half, while traveling SE Asia for 6 months for the first half of this year.

Thanks!

Sorry to say it, but I personally think you're 20 years to late. (OK, ten)

I foresee the govt making it harder for small businessmen like yourself to strat such things here, they will probably go the Thailand route...that is where the visa overstay increases came from, that is where the work permit enforcement came from, and next it will be same bar/gh rules as Thailand, iow, you may own it, but you can't work in it.
