The construction report you've been waiting for
The construction report you've been waiting for
Sihanoukville construction report, PNR Bicol to begin construction Q1 2022, and more transport and infrastructure news from around Southeast Asia.
A presumptuous title, I know. And if you know my blogging style, you know I am not one for clickbait titles. Out of all the places that are changing in Southeast Asia, Sihanoukville is the one that elicits the strongest reactions. If you do a Google search for “Sihanoukville”, news articles about what has happened there recently outnumber the usual clutter of online travel agents. And the first result I see is an article saying why they don’t go.
Of course, I had to go and see for myself. I went to Sihanoukville for four days and walked around everywhere. If you saw me walking around this what my face looked like most of the time…
This week’s article is a construction report for Sihanoukville, listing projects under construction, and a gallery of abandoned projects. While I was walking around I started thinking about how Sihanoukville could fix itself, so that might be another article in the future.
