how long does it take to get from Sihanoukville to ho chi minh city
[edit] Khmer Writing
I can read a little Khmer and the Khmer Version "ក្រុងព្រះសីហនុ" is wrong. Transliterated this would be something like "KrangPreSihn" but not Sihanukville. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.186.69.80 (talk) 07:42, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Sex Tourism
The town is increasingly popular with former residents of Pattaya forced to leave by changes in Thailand's tourist visa rules in 2006. Many bars in the centre of town and on Victory Hill (also known as Weather Station Hill) cater to a mixed clientele of older white men and young asian women.[citation needed]
I've deleted this, as it paints Snookyville as a sex tourism destination. Anyone who's been there knows it's anything but, and is still essentially a sleepy seaside town. Besides which, it suggests that sex tourism are older men and insinuates that anyone who sleeps with a girl or a prostitute in Asia is automatically a sex tourist, neither of which are true. --CloutierFan02 03:45, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] possible vandalism
There is some possible vandalism, especially about the part where Kampoung Som is an unnattractive place compared to Thailand becuase its full of greedy narcotic shipping criminals. There is also something about huts being bulldose by the government. First and foremost, I don't know about the narcotics but its not verifiable. Secound, there were no reports of Khmer Rouge kidnapping tourist in Kampoung Som in 1994. Kampong Som is not a stronghold area, expecially after 1993. This would have been on the news. Lastly, the beaches in Kampoung Som are narrow stripped, meaning a hotel would never fit on it and huts being bulldose is not reported on the news, or by civil rights groups.
