Khmer New Year is here again. It’s a time of year when many people pack up and take a trip. Many chose to travel around Asia. But tourism to locations in Cambodia is on the rise, too. Of course, everyone knows about Siem Reap and Sihanoukville. But if you’ve been in Cambodia for a while chances are you’ve already been there. So we’ve decided to look at places that won’t be crowded with tourist.Here’s our guide to the other places in Cambodia you should consider visiting this year:MondulkiriIt’s the largest and most sparsely populated province in Cambodia. So, it’s no surprise that most of the province’s best features are its natural wonders. It hosts pine tree forests, mountains, coffee plantations and is home to most of the country’s elephants.The waterfalls in Mondulkiri are quite popular. Most well-known are:Sen Monorom Waterfall is a short trip from the provincial capital.Bou Sra Waterfall is a short drive from Sen Monorom. It’s one of the largest in the country.Romnea Waterfall is just 10 kilometres from Sen Monorom. Eugene Morozov, a Russian expat, said he recently rode his motorbike to Mondulkiri from Phnom Penh, but in the future would opt for a bus because of poor road quality.“There isn’t much to do besides hiking and experiencing nature. But it’s not hard to find guesthouses in Sen Monorom,” he added.KepRight down the road from Kampot, Kep is still off the beaten path for tourism. It won’t be for long, however. The area has beautiful beaches, an amazing wildlife park, organic pepper farms and a sleepy vibe.Rabbit Island just offshore is great for a few days, or stop by the butterfly gardens outside of town. And don’t forget to order a crab dish at one of the seafood shacks next to the market. Guesthouses and bungalows are still the main types of accommodation here. There are still a couple of larger hotels, however. It’s easy enough to catch a bus or taxi to Kep, or even take a tuk-tuk there from Kampot.Exploring old colonial villas is quite popular in Kep. Read all about old French design in the country over at our guide to colonial buildings in Cambodia.BattambangBattambang is usually just known for its agriculture. The province has tons of quirks that you won’t find else, however. First off, it is one of the best places in Cambodia to find French colonial buildings. In fact, many of these places have been converted into guesthouses, so you can experience them first hand. Don’t forget to capture it with plenty of Instagram pics!There’s also the ruins of Wat Banan, from the 10th century. It may not be as huge as Angkor Wat but you can bet it won’t be swarmed with tourists either.We can’t forget the famed Bamboo Train, either. Known as “Nori,” the cars are wooden platforms powered by small gas engines. For $5 you can tour the entire area in a truly unique way.For a deeper dive into all things Battambang, read our ultimate guide to Battambang to find out more.KratieSitting right on the Mekong river in northeast Cambodia is Kratie province. This place is definitely not a typical tourist location. On the other hand, many stop here for a night when bussing between Cambodia and southern Laos.Check out Koh Trong, an island in the middle of the Mekong. Kratie is also known as a place to see the river’s elusive dolphins. It can be tricky to catch a sighting. But it’s about the journey not the destination, right?Sok Sothea, a Khmer language teacher and avid traveller, said he had stopped in Kratie three times on trips to other parts of Cambodia.“There are a lot of colonial buildings there. I also like to visit Wat Sasau 100, or Pagoda of 100 Pillars,” he said.Because it isn’t a huge tourist spot, there’s a smaller selection of accommodations in Kratie. They’re all affordable, however, so stay for a night or two and see what life is like.Koh KongKoh Kong is usually looked over in favour of Sihanoukville next door. It gained the spotlight briefly in 2017 when plans were announced for an airport there. Read the whole story here.Being near to the Thai border means there are a couple of casinos here. If you want to discover more about the gaming industry in the Kingdom, read our guide to casinos in Cambodia.The province is still much more low-key than Sihanoukville. Sothea, who has been there twice, said that he liked to go for walks through mangrove forests there.“There are so many hotels there and lots of good restaurants,” he said, adding that the roads were excellent by Cambodian standards.“I recommend taking a drive along the National Road 48 Bridge. It’s one of the longest in the country.”A traveller's paradiseThere you have it! Five spots that are off the beaten path in terms of tourism. These spots are growing in popularity. Especially as more Cambodians enter the middle class and have more disposable income. Tourism is such a large part of the Kingdom's economy, however. It's safe to say that some of these places will become as significant in coming years as Siem Reap, Sihanoukville and Kampot are today.If you want to learn more about how tourism plays into the economy in Cambodia be sure to browse through our 2019 Investment Guide. It has tons of information about every sector of the market here. And, of course, read through all of our location profiles to learn about all the different areas of Cambodia.

Online commerce has notably grown over the last few years, while the Industrial Revolution 4.0 continues to be deeply embedded in the contemporary world.There are a few companies that have blazed the trail for ecommerce. These include the likes of Alibaba, Amazon and eBay. Buyers the world over are using these sites to both buy and sell goods.Many of these e-commerce players have made it a goal to penetrate into new markets. These markets have huge potential and massive consumer bases.In a recent interview with Capital Cambodia newspaper, Kevin Li, Alibaba's general  manager of transportation, said that Cambodia is central location in Asia. The country has huge potential for warehousing, and as a transportation hub to other countries in the region such as Thailand, Vietnam and Myanmar.Additionally, Alibaba CEO Jack Ma, expressed plans his firm has to establish networks in Cambodia over the next five years. These networks would be key in transporting goods from China to the Mekong region.News of this decision follows on the heels of a similar announcement by Alibaba’s US rival Amazon. The e-commerce giant, headed by the world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos, recently chose Vietnam to host a transportation hub in Southeast Asia.In choosing Cambodia to be a part of its strategy moving forward, Alibaba is building on the mounting relationship between China and Cambodia playing out through the One Belt, One Road policy.One key advantage Cambodia has over its neighbours Thailand and Vietnam is its use of the US dollar. This means that the Kingdom can be a convenient intermideary between China, one of the world’s largest producers, and the US, the world’s largest economy and biggest consumer of Chinese goods.Many experts think the interest from China will draw even more international investors to Cambodia.To learn all the ins and outs of doing business in the Kingdom of Wonder, head over to our Investment Guide 2019.

After comparison, we realized that Cambodia’s GDP has grown by more than 7% for many years. Not only in Southeast Asia, it is extremely rare even worldwide. And our most optimistic expectation has focused on the Sihanoukville of Cambodia, which has a huge demand that has not yet been met and all the investment advantages we can foresee."  Sihanoukville, located on the southwestern coastline of Cambodia, is the largest seaport in the country, whose cargo throughput accounts more than 70% of the country.

It runs through nearly every topic and every sector in Cambodia.

According to the latest report by CBRE Cambodia, as of Q4 2019, there are 17,995 condo units in Phnom Penh, a 27% increase from the same period in 2018 where there were 57 completed projects, offering 14,170 units.Condominiums are still new to Cambodia. Yet they are becoming an integral part of the real estate sector. For now, Boreys seem to be the most demanded form of housing among locals.1. Saving time for productivityLiving in a condominium can help save time for working professionals. Commutes are shorter if you live closer to where you work. Cambodia’s population is rapidly urbanising, especially those between the age of 25 and 40. These people want to improve their careers and build businesses. Being in the city helps them achieve these goals.2. Less houseworkCondos are relatively small compared to villas and standalone houses. There are no courtyards or driveways to take care of. This means residents spend less time cleaning and maintaining their homes. Furthermore, many condos offer cleaning services and utilities. Fewer hassles mean more time for yourself or your pursuits.3. More amenitiesCondominiums offer more luxuries than other home types. Having a gym, pool and meeting room right in your building means you don’t have to travel as much. Plus, most also feature advanced safety features like CCTV and security staff. This means you have fewer things to manage while still retaining peace of mind.4. A sense of communityNeighbours can help you when you accidentally get locked out of your condo. Or maybe they become friends and you take turns hosting weekend barbecues. Condo buildings give you a chance to connect with other people who live in the same community.5. Facilities at your fingertipsCondominiums are often built in the CBD of a city. This means residents have access to everything the urban area has to offer. They can get there quickly, too. In Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville, central condos have access to tons of schools, hospitals, government offices, markets, restaurants, banks and much more.6. Buying a condo more beneficial than renting a luxury homeFor the same level of luxury, it can be better in the long run to buy a condo than renting a home. Monthly payments will be similar, but with the condo you will get future returns. For example, if you rent a twin villa, you have to spend between $1,500 and $2,000 a month. Mortgages on condos, on the other hand, can be found for under $1,000 per month.7. Return on investmentCondominiums can offer profits in two different ways. First, they simply appreciate in value as the years go by. Maybe you will choose to live there for 10 or 20 years. When you decide to sell you will get more than you paid. Secondly, you can lease the condo out instead of living there. Rental rates in Cambodia’s cities can range from $500 to $2,500. This means you can start getting returns of around 8% and 10% per year.8. Little maintenanceCondominiums do not require constant repairs. They are small and maintenance is usually covered, at least in part, by the building management.9. Low starting priceCondos are relatively affordable compared to landed properties. Indeed, in Cambodia, they are much cheaper than in other areas of Asia. Many condo units for sale in Phnom Penh sell for just around $60,000 per unit. It is a bit higher for units within the vicinity of the city’s CBD such as Chamkarmon district, on average a starting price is 100k for a one-bedroom unit.10. FlexibilityOverall, a condo offers more flexibility than landed property. The buying process is quicker and there are many choices and price points. Though boreys are growing in popularity in the outer regions and suburbs, although condos will soon dominate the city’s streets.

Phnom Penh is still a small city by global standards. Current estimates put the city population at around two million. Compare that to over eight million for both Bangkok in Thailand and Ho Chi Minh City, just down the road in Vietnam. But those on the ground will tell you that Cambodia’s capital is somewhat of a hub for regional migration. Many speculate that this is because the visa process is simple, the economy is growing, and daily life is super affordable.Certain areas of the capital are emerging as enclaves within the city. Realestate.com.kh wants to give you a handy guide to these areas, and outline what housing in the area looks like.So, here’s your guide to Little Tokyo, Little Seoul, Little Manila and Little Taipei in Phnom Penh:Little TokyoThis isn’t so much a single area as a single road. Simply start at the intersection of st 63 and st 466 just south of Mao Tse Tung and head north. You’ll see Japanese restaurants aplenty on either side of 63.The restaurants have actually spread out through BKK1 in recent years. They were once all concentrated near the Japanese embassy, however. Luckily, you can find great Japanese food here in every price range. If you want to spend a little more try Katanashi or Green Bowl. When looking for a quick noodle fix you can’t go wrong with Murugame.Yuko, a Japanese expat who lived in the capital's BKK1, said Japanese restaurants were great if she wanted a little taste of home."The prices are quite fair so many of my colleagues also liked to go there, especially if they lived by themselves," she said, adding that her favourite places in the capital were Wako, Shangrila and Garaku.Living here can mean anything from finding a shophouse for rent in BKK1 to a serviced apartment for rent in BKK1. A quick way to get started would be to start looking at real estate for rent in BKK1. Little ManilaOne of the biggest Asian expat populations in Cambodia is Filipinos. Many find opportunities here teaching English or working for regional companies. It’s no surprise that a few restaurants have popped up to satisfy their taste for home. Most of these places are clustered around the Toul Tum Poung (Russian Market) area. Michael John M. Gonzales, the owner of the restaurant Mang Miguel Kainan, said the majority of his customers are Filipino expats. However, other expats also make up a larger part of their base. “We’ve been running the restaurant since 2016. Initially, we chose this area because it is a well-known tourist spot. Over time we’ve seen it become more of an expat area because of its convenient location, and a great place to live,” he said.Indeed, this area is known for diverse food offerings and it one of the most popular for expats. Housing options here are mainly shophouses for rent in Toul Tum Poung and apartments for rent in Toul Tum Poung. Read our profile of Toul Tum Poung to learn more about the neighbourhood. Also, find out what you should be paying in our expat rental guide to Phnom Penh.Little SeoulInterestingly, Toul Kork has been deemed the Korean enclave in Phnom Penh. North of Russian Blvd there is a smattering of restaurants serving up Korean fare. These include Dae Jang Geum, Heng Heng, Goong BBQ and Hwaro. Interestingly, Korean food may be the cuisine that has gotten the most traction with Cambodians. Some speculate that this could be due to the popularity of Korean pop music, television and movies that are popular among Khmer youth. In 2017 Phnom Penh even hosted a massive concert on Koh Pich Island given by CL, a Korean singer.Commenting on Korean food in Phnom Penh, local expat Jihye Kim claimed that it varies a lot in terms of price and quality.“Authentic Korean food is pretty expensive here. And the more affordable restaurants are catered more for local tastes,” she said. However, she noted that Heng Heng, in Toul Kork, was one of her favourites and quite affordable."When I first walked in there, BAM, I was back in my grandma's kitchen."The fact that Korean restaurants have taken off in Toul Kork is a testament to the district’s status as a residential area for affluent families. As the middle class grows, more people want to live in quiet, secure areas which are still close to the city.To dive further into this quickly growing area, watch our video about real estate in Toul Kork. Despite being more attractive to local families, there are still plenty of options for expats there. In fact, apartments for rent in Toul Kork, condos for rent in Toul Kork, and even villas for rent in Toul Kork can be found quite easily. Overall, rentals in Toul Kork are more affordable than those closer to the centre of town. Little TaipeiThere are tons of Chinese restaurants in the city. If you’re looking for hand-pulled noodles, dumplings or dim sum, there are many places you can find it. If you want a taste of Taiwan without getting on a plane, however, just head to street 225.Just south of Russian Blvd there a stretch of Taiwanese establishments serving up everything from radish cakes and beef noodles to scallion pancakes. Big names are Qian Chao and Lo Kang Seav Chen, or Taiwan FamilyMart if you need groceries.Just like Little Seoul, this area is in Toul Kork district, albeit the more central part. Rent here is usually significantly cheaper than in areas closer to the CBD. Read our Toul Kork guide to see what you should be paying. Apartments for rent in Toul Kork can start at around $300 per month, serviced places like condos for rent in Toul Kork can be found for as little as $700, and villas for rent in Toul Kork start at around $500.Phnom Penh, an international cityEveryone knows about the Western expat spots in Phnom Penh. But travel a bit further off the beaten path and you’ll find that the city has tons of different cultures and cuisines. Visiting new and interesting restaurants is a great way to explore the city and try something new. Keep exploring and you’ll find even more food from all over the world. Phnom Penh hosts people from Iraq, Armenia, Ethiopia, India, Nepal, and so many more places.

Use one of our trusted agents in Cambodia to find a place that fits you best.And, in the meantime, browse listings of expat rentals in Phnom Penh.

Phnom Penh is a city defined by rivers. It sits at the point where four waterways intersect. The Tonle Sap, Tonle Mekong Leu, Tonle Mekong Krom and Tonle Bassac all connect in the Kingdom’s capital. Why then, is the riverside area still waiting to see major real estate development?Though there are a few ongoing projects there, and a few in the pipeline, the area has yet to take off in terms of investment. This sits in contrast to other areas of Phnom Penh such as the central business district, real estate in BKK1 and real estate in Toul Kork which have all seen numerous projects across many different industries. Koh Pich, on the other hand, may be an exception. It has flourished over the past few years. Along with other waterfront areas such as Chroy Changvar, Koh Norea and Areyksat it could take centre stage in 2019 and beyond.Sorn Seap, founder and CEO of Key Real Estate, said that Phnom Penh benefits from a large supply of riverside land. He claimed these locations were perfect for the development of high rises. Developers have begun to take advantage of land along the Tonle Sap and Tonle Bassac, he said, while land near the two diversions of the Mekong is largely undeveloped. “Koh Pich and Chroy Changvar are seeing most of the activity. Developers aim to use any corridor in these areas for major residential projects,” he said, adding that Koh Norea and Areyksat may have to wait for a major project.Koh Norea sits across from Koh Pich, where the Tonle Bassac splits off from the Mekong. Areyksat is on the far bank of the Mekong, a part of Kandal province.“It will take around ten years [for Koh Norea and Areyksat] to be developed. There is still more necessary infrastructure such as a bridge. This would lead to more real estate development, ” said Seap.In the pipelineRecently, Overseas Cambodia Investment Corporation (OCIC) announced through Fresh News a plan to develop a 100-hectare satellite city stretching from Koh Norea to Kean Svay district. This project will purportedly be developed in a similar fashion to Koh Pich.Teng Rithy, founder and chairman of R' Investment Group, claimed that the majority of the areas along the rivers are already earmarked for medium and high-rises.Rithy noted that the presence of OCIC project along Chbar Ampov’s riverside will provide more value to the area. That area, he said, is already on the radar of many investors. “Our city development is similar to the development of Bangkok or city development in Korea during the 1970s,” Rithy noted. He said it was reasonable to assume that Phnom Penh would expand east, across the river, in the coming years.Echoing Seap, Rithy contended that more basic infrastructure was needed to provide incentive for projects.Diving deeper into the potential of the Chroy Changvar peninsula, James Hewson, manager of research and consulting at CBRE Cambodia, said that the area held huge potential. Land in Chroy Changvar is relatively affordable and plentiful, he said, while still being close to the CBD.“Over 300 hectares of the OCIC project is located in Chroy Changvar and will come with mixed-use high rises. There are more opportunities for high buildings along National Road 6 as well,” he stated.Seap broke down the price of land in various riverside areas of the capital:Koh Pich is the most expensive. Land there costs between $3,500 and $5,000 per square metre.In Chroy Changvar, he said, plots can be found for around $700 to $2,000 per square metre.Koh Norea hosts land that ranges from $500 to $1,000 per square metre, andAreyksat is one of the cheapest areas. Land there is nearly always below $500 per square metre.“Over the next five years, many high buildings will be developed,” Rithy said.“The riverbanks will become a part of the modern city.” If you want to look for real estate along the river, check out listings for real estate for sale in Daun Penh, real estate for sale in Chroy Changvar and real estate for sale in Koh Pich.

After reading a few headlines you might think Chinese people are leaving their country en masse. But a quick glance at history books will remind you that there’s a huge legacy of emigration from the world’s most populous country. According to a 2016 report from the Transatlantic Council on Migration (TCM), 4% of all the world’s migrants came from China as of 2013. This puts it in fourth place of all the world’s source countries.More relevant, however, is the fact that those emigrating from China are mostly high-skilled individuals. The report showed that the emigration rate was 1.8% among those with high education.In Southeast Asia and elsewhere, the influx of wealthy Chinese means a rising demand for real estate and other investments. But why is there such an appetite for property abroad? Why not buy more property in China.Leading experts in the sector often cite four main factors incentives leading Chinese buyers:1. InvestmentDeveloping nations hold huge investment potential. What’s more, many investors can tweak growth formulas that were previously used in China to find success in other countries.Many see real estate as one of the safest kind of investments, preferring it over stocks, bonds or currency. Chinese buyers are often shopping for affordable land. So, they often look to developing nations.Hang Sokunthea, research manager at Belt Road Capital Management, said that price point was a huge factor for Chinese property buyers coming to Cambodia."The price here is still much cheaper than their home country and Cambodia has stable economic growth and political stability. It is also important to note that the wave of Chinese property buyers is now a global phenomenon which has just slowly come to Southeast Asia and Cambodia," she said.2.  Boost their living standardThis can go hand-in-hand with investment. In China, an overseas property can be a status symbol. According to data published by Bloomberg, 70% of home purchases in China were either second or third homes.While developed countries like the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand hold prestige, having an additional home in a developing country can also be a signifier of wealth.3. MigrationChinese buyers often buy real estate if they plan to migrate in the future. This allows them to avoid the typical costs of renting property. Many migrate for job or business opportunities, or even retirement. Despite efforts by the Chinese government to increase employment, hiring is a highly competitive process. Therefore, to access more opportunities, many Chinese people move abroad, especially in labor-intensive countries.4. Pursue EducationAccording to data from the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, as of April 2018, there were about 1,454,100 Chinese students studying abroad. Many wealthy Chinese choose to buy a home or apartment for their children who are studying in Western nations. The TCM’s report showed that nearly a third of all the international students studying in the US in 2015 were Chinese nationals. Migration for education is also growing in Australia, the UK and Canada.Three out of four ain’t badWhile Cambodia may not be a destination for education, it certainly hits on the other three factors. Given its proximity to China, it is certainly on the radar for those looking for a holiday home.Favourable investment regulations also mean the Kingdom is an attractive place to relocate for business. As more luxury buildings come online it’s also a hotspot for investment properties. If you want more information about foreign investment read out Investment Guide.

Vietnam is one of the fastest growing nations in Asia. Similar to Cambodia, it has hovered around 7% GDP growth nearly ever year for the last decade. Indeed, it is a hotspot for international investors.The country has pushed forward economic development to intice foreign investors. Among other things, this has led to more jobs in key cities. Ho Chi Minh City is one of these economic hubs. The metropolis now has more than eight million residents.To address the issues of traffic, congestion and pollution, the Vietnamese government has decided to build a metro project to in Ho Chi Minh. It is set to span around 20 kilometres, stretch across three major districts and cost around $2 billion. According to the deputy managing director of the Management Authority for Urban Railways (MAUR), the metro project is nearly 80% finished. A launch ceremony is planned for October of next year. However, the metro project has faced major financial hurdles. The Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA), which is carrying out the project, almost halted its construction at one point. Government sources have reiterated that it will be complete by 2020.Plans have also been announced for a major metro train system in Phnom Penh. No progress has yet to be seen as feasibility studies are still being conducted.    For more information about infrastructure across the regionk be sure to read our free Investment Guide 2019

Cambodia is experiencing a miraculous period of growth. Real estate is growing but the sector is still far from a mature market. Thailand, on the other hand, is a powerhouse market in Southeast Asia. Real estate there is considered more stable. The number of new projects and developments is, of course, greater. For the moment, investors still see Cambodia as a high risk, high reward location. Growth is faster than in Thailand, and the price for entry is comparatively low. But how else are these markets different?Realestate.com.kh met with Dr. Sopon Pornchokchai, president of Fiabci-Thai and a council member of the Asean Real Estate Network Alliance. He also runs an Agency for Real Estate Affairs based in Thailand. What similar points and differences do you see between real estate markets in Thailand and Cambodia? Is Cambodia following where Thailand was in the past?In 2009, I conducted a survey in Phnom Penh. I found that shophouses for sale in Phnom Penh made up most of the housing market, which is similar to Thailand in 1982. In 2015, I conducted another survey and found that condominiums for sale in Phnom Penh accounted for a third of the market in Phnom Penh. In Bangkok, they make up half of the market. Nowadays, condos could be around 50% of the formal housing markets in Cambodia. In Bangkok, I suspect they make up around 60%. Cambodia is growing more similar to Bangkok, but more infrastructure is needed.What are the strengths and weakness of the real estate market in Cambodia?The major strength is that the economy of Cambodia is getting better over time.  Affordability levels are higher than in the past. Cambodia also attracts a lot of investment, particularly from China. Indeed, Chinese developers may dominate the market, and this could threaten affordability in the long run. What do you think the Cambodia market will look like five to ten years down the road?Cambodia and many countries in Asean depend on the heavy investment from China. If trade tensions between the US and China continue, Cambodia could see negative effects. However,  if China remains strong Cambodia will continue to grow. On the brighter side, the tourism industry is seeing huge growth. More direct flights are coming here and we can expect more jobs in that industry.Could you tell us how the real estate market in Thailand is doing? The market in Thailand is still in a period of growth. There is a bit of uncertainty because of the political situation. Tourism is one of the strongest sectors there. Foreign buyers are also a large part of the market and account for around 20% of demand.Shopping centres and hotels are growing quickly. Industrial properties are also growing in the Eastern Economic Corridor. The residential property still dominates the market, representing 70%. Currently, there are over 450,000 housing units on the market worth a total of US$41 billion. Keep in mind, the average house price in Bangkok is $137,000.How do you see the Thai real estate market shifting in years to come?In terms of housing supply, I expect 3% could be an average growth per year. In terms of value, on the other hand, we could see 5% growth per year or even 6% ROI for owner-occupied condos. Returns on low-rise buildings could be as low as 2%, however. For commercial and industrial properties, I suspect the area near the border with Cambodia will be a hotbed of growth over the next decade.For more interviews and articles, check our news section every day.

The Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC) earlier this week posted on their Facebook page a master plan for Sihanoukville. The document, originally issued in June, defined land use regulations in the coastal town. Valid until 2030, the map shows which areas are to be developed for tourism, commerce, and other industries.According to the report, Sihanoukville will develop into a “modern city with the world’s most beautiful beaches, multi-purpose special economic zones, and logistics centers”.The document comes amid a flurry of development in Sihanoukville’s tourism sector. Investments are coming mainly from wealthy Chinese and aim to attract more tourist from that country.In addition to being a focus of hospitality development, Sihanoukville is also in view to be a major shipping port for the region. Indeed, having the nation’s only deepsea port, it fits squarely into the purview of the China-backed Belt Road Initiative.

In May of this year, Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem islands will form the newest municipality in Cambodia, according to a sub-decree released by the government in January. Previously, the islands were classified as communes within Preah Sihanouk province’s Mittapheap district. Later this year, however, they will be classified as a single city and gain administrative power of their own.Many expect investments in the tourist industry to rise sharply after the islands become a city. But there are concerns over the status of land ownership on Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem.The two islands have a combined area of over 100 square kilometres and are located 25 kilometres offshore from Sihanoukville.Currently, Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem are comprised of four villages and two villages, respectively. The islands are home to around 4,000 permanent residents. They are two of the biggest tourist destinations on the Kingdom’s southern coast.Thousands of visitors every dayChheun Chantha, commune chief of Koh Rong Sanloem, welcomed the plans. He expressed hopes that more real estate development would come to the area, in turn increasing land prices. He explained that, with new administrative management, the islands would need more government buildings and more infrastructure.Chantha claimed that land along the beach in Koh Rong Sanloem’s Koh Touch village was currently selling for more than $1,000 per square metre. Land further in was going for between $100 and $200 per square metre. The price for land without a hard title, on the other hand, was just $20 to $50 per square metre.“The area is very attractive for tourism. On average, 2,500 tourists show up every day,” he said, adding that around 75% of the visitors stay for at least one night.Accommodation on the islands ranges from $5 per night for a dorm bed up to hundreds per night for a luxury bungalow.Brad King, managing director at Sihanoukville’s Cambodia Real Estate, said that making Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem a single municipality will be good for the real estate sector. However, King noted that the real estate market on the two islands is still quite limited. He expressed concerns over ownership on the islands, adding that most landowners simply hold their plots instead of building on them.“Most villagers don’t own their land with hard titles,” he said, adding that investors are waiting until they can get these before they make significant investments.Royal Group is one of the only major players to come to Koh Rong. It established a luxury resort on the island called Royal Sand.‘No one keen to buy’Commenting on the issue of hard titles, Chantha said that only a third of landowners on Koh Rong Sanloem held them.King, who has developed some of the only apartments on Koh Rong, said construction is a long and difficult process. Because of this, owners aren’t willing to invest until hard titles are issued.“It took 60 boat trips just to bring materials for my apartment project,” he said, adding that land prices were comparable to Sihanoukville at $2,400 per square metre. He claimed that if hard titles were issued, buyers would come in droves.“No one is keen to buy or invest on land without [full] legal ownership.”Sharing King’s view, Den Sakal, CEO of Universal Real Estate, said that land transactions on Koh Rong have become stagnant. He claimed establishing a municipality would speed up activity.“This will buoy confidence from investors. At the same time, rental prices will increase and services will be upgraded to the next level to welcome more tourist,” he said.Chantha agreed with the concern over hard titles, adding that undeveloped infrastructure, poor waste management, and illegal logging and fishing are other key factors holding back the islands.Besides making the two islands a single city, the sub-decree also adds two new districts to the map of Phnom Penh. The two new districts will be called Boeung Keng Kang and Kambol.Read the full story of the new BKK district.
