SIHANOUKVILLE,
has a different look and feel than most Cambodian towns.
Constructed as a port city in the late 1950s, the town is much
newer, more urban and cosmopolitan than most Cambodian provincial
cities. Nowadays, Sihanoukville is as much a beach town as it is a
port town, catering to beach-going weekenders from Phnom Penh as
well as a steadily increasing number of foreign visitors. Still,
the pace of life in Sihanoukville is very relaxed. Cows
occasionally wander the main road, outside town foreign faces draw
smiles and curious stares, and most of the beaches offer only
beach umbrellas, thatched roofed eateries, and a few restaurants
and hotels. |
