Mall mania...

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Urban planning in Cambodia? Don't be so foolish
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

There's a ministry for that
Don't go by car, as they didn't plan enough parking space

seems weird to me they keep building malls in PP when half the population cant afford anything in them
i'd like to see them start building Tescos or Big c's through out the country

Does PP really need all these malls? (NO) will they make $$, ( NO) or are they just away to wash $$ (YES)
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

yes and if u go u will see there are people in them all the time...
especially the food courts.

Bangkok is far more developed than pp with a far larger middle class, expats and tourists

I have been to all the malls, and yes; the food courts, and the bookstores, are busy. The rest: not so much.
