It just doesn't stop.  New roads, new power plants, water supplies, new hotels, more islands opening up, ATM's, fast food, banks, stop lights, housing developments, even a city within a city.  SihanoukVille, Cambodia keeps growing. And fast. The inland marina is almost (still) finished, with many condos occupied already, the bridge to the island formerly known as Snake Island is about halfway

For the first time in years, land prices have stopped going up. However, they're not going down either. The volume of sales transactions has slowed considerably, but new deals for bigger pieces of land and buildings continues.Late last year and earlier this year, Cambodia took steps to slow down lending, and they got the timing just right.Several new hotels around SihanoukVille are still being

The Beverly Hillbillies are missing out on the oil boom in SihanoukVille, Cambodia. While only a few will benefit directly from the oil and gas coming out of the ocean, SihanoukVille is becoming the base for all the oilfield exploration, drilling and soon refining in Cambodia. Many hotels have booked blocks of rooms for several months for the drilling companies, and the services that support

Most of the island have been sold off, though there's a few (and parts of a few) left.Thar's oil out there, and the supporting services for oil exploration and drilling are starting to set up operations in town. Rumored a few have hit already, but still don't know the full extent of the reserves in the area. (Guessing it's pretty substantial)The bridge to Snake Island has begun construction,
