It’s all has started in Sihanoukville!!
Gregory McCann is seriouosly concerned:
„Sihanoukville was once a hippie enclave, perhaps the detritus of Pattaya expats who could no longer afford the rising costs of Thailand. Those Sihanoukville expats are now washing up in Kampot, but with the arrival of the Chinese in their thousands (and millions of tourists) they may soon find themselves being pushed farther inland, perhaps as far north as Kratie or even Ban Lung in Ratanakiri province.
Whatever the case, big (Chinese) changes are in the works for sleepy Kampot province. And you can call me a romantic, but when those old villas get bulldozed and the town begins looking more like Guandong or Shanghai it will be a sad day indeed. And it’s coming.”
Not a nice perspective, isn’t it?
We will try to enjoy and take care of what has been (perhaps for a few years) left in "our" Kampot.
Kampot must survive in its charming form !!
