  • In this video, we take you for a ride the full length of Sok San Road in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Most people visit pub street, but Sok San Road is next on the list for bars, restaurants, and probably the best people watching in town. Pull up a bar stool in a low slung shack bar and join us for the ride! We also visit Siem Reap’s biggest mosque and have a look at the food options in that area.

    WOW! Sok San Road has really changed since I lived there in 2017.
    I had an apartment room just a short walk down Concrete Drain Road. I walked Sok San Road almost every day in the two months I was there.
    Some of the places seem to be still the same, but lots of new development, and new bars. And building is expanding south of Concrete Drain road. Of course the Temple businesses. The Temple business group has their fingers into everything. I hear they are quite invested in Phnom Penh also, and perhaps a couple other places. Going near or in their dance nightclub in Pub Street, I had to wear ear plugs…ha, ha, ha.
    Great little video. Thank you Claire and Jeremy. ….yes..a few nice little mom and pop restaurants along there. I hope to be back soon.

    I see a lot of half built and abandoned condo buildings in Pattaya. The place is way overbuilt and a lot of money laundering going on. IMHO

      Honestly they just keep building next to other abandoned buildings 😕

      Some owners did not have enough money to finish the building so they leave them until they have more. They don’t normally use the bank to borrow funds…
