Phim Hay 360s

Destination of visitors to Cambodia 's Angkor always mysterious . Road from Siem Riep very close to this temple and gorgeous tree with two rows , mostly 6-7 people to embrace new tree overwhelming .

When it comes to travel Cambodia most visitors will just mention the famous sights as AngkorWat , Silver Pagoda , the Royal Palace of Cambodia ... However, there are few who know Cambodia charming coastal city of Sihanoukville with stretches of white sand beaches , the island like sapphire blue water .



Looking back at the history of Sihanoukville , it is not difficult to explain why this place is less tourist attention . The old name of Sihanoukville Kampong Som . Before 1954 , the main maritime trade route of Cambodia 's Mekong River . After 1954, the French withdrawal from Indochina, Kampong Som - with the advantage of a convenient deep waters for boats up to - was chosen as the site for the construction of a new sea port in Cambodia . When finished , Kampong Som Sihanuokville renamed , the name of King Sihanouk . Early 90s of last century , the Khmer Rouge murdered the international tourists come here first , put an end to tourism Budding birth of Sihanoukville . Until recent years , the new international tourists started back to Sihanoukville .



As a peninsula jutting out his Gulf of Thailand , Sihanoukville beach possesses great series . Sokha Beach quiet , smooth white sand , a few scattered bars and water sports service luxury . Occheuteal crowded beaches , bustling with popular seafood restaurant . Victory beach with hills always the bustling entertainment services around the clock . Then Otres beach , Hawaii beach , beach Independence , Serendipity beach ... , every beach has a charm all its own . In Vietnam , most are overlooking the coast east and visitors usually only watch the sunrise over the sea but rarely watch the sunset. You stay Sihanouville , towards the west coast should sit on the sand smooth when sunset , watching the sun slowly setting an unforgettable experience for visitors .

The casino development company in Cambodia believe that casinos will create attraction to bring visitors to find money to vibrate more with the Southeast Asian countries , the Wall Street Journal reported.
According to the Wall Street Journal , Cambodia - country of 15 million people - currently has 25 casinos , but mostly small casino , concentrated in border areas to serve people less money to play from Thailand , China and Vietnam .



Now , the company is raising Cambodian casinos ambitious complex built resort areas combined with large-scale casinos to attract more passengers , especially the wealthy . But there are many ideas cautioned that success will not be easy coming soon with this model .

Among the major casino projects in Cambodia today must include Thansur Bokor Highland Resort , the capital, Phnom Penh two -hour drive south . The resort opened on trial last week and is expected to be operational by mid official this year . Both parks have 418 rooms , a conference center , spa , walking area , a center of education and entertainment for children , and the gaming library .

Owner of this region is a subsidiary of Sokimex Group, a large conglomerate controlled most of the oil industry of Cambodia . An interesting feature of this region is positioned at an altitude of 1,100 m above the sea , in a place often covered by clouds .

The most famous casinos of Cambodia in Phnom Penh is NagaWorld is also adding 220 new rooms in a room next to the existing 500 . Also, this casino also added 30 new gaming tables in parallel with 131 tables and 275 gaming machines today. This casino is operating under NagaCorp company listed on the Hong Kong stock market .

In addition to expanding the gaming area , the consortium also plans to open more NagaCity Walk , a tourism park and retail space with luxury brands such as Cartier , Rolex and Piaget .

Besides, the company Cambodian casino also plans to expand and build new casinos in many other regions of the country , near the resort include Sihanoukville in the south coast , or in Siem Reap , right temple near Angkor Wat - local tourist attractions of Cambodia 's most famous .

The Cambodian government has long supported the idea of ​​opening new casinos , despite the objections of many fear the project will increase crime and that many people lost their land . The Cambodian government said , the casinos have brought in $ 20 million in taxes last year , up 25 % compared to 2010 .

This source of revenue to help Cambodia develop areas such as education and health , while encouraging tourism activities - Mr. Phay Siphan , spokesman for Cambodia's Council of Ministers said .

Development efforts in the field of Cambodia casinos is done when a number of countries and territories of the neighboring countries scrambling to reap profit from the explosive growth of gambling activities . Last year , Macau territory revenue of 33.5 billion dollars from the casinos , larger than 5 times the " gambling capital of " Las Vegas Strip in the United States .

Singapore , the country 's first casino opened in 2010 , also has a casino revenue rivals the Las Vegas Strip . Meanwhile, the Philippines aims to surpass Las Vegas in casino revenue when planning to open 4 casino - resort complex in the Manila Capital.


It is too early to assert Cambodia can compete with other gambling markets in the region . In recent years , the country has emerged as an address attracts international visitors , reached 2.5 million passengers in 2010 , compared to less than 500,000 in 2000.

However, this figure is still lower than the number of tourists to other destinations , such as the 28 million visitors to Macau last year .

Besides, most of the players come to Cambodia silver are " dark red " high . Many of them do not care to address other tourist attractions , such as the ancient temple , in this country .

According to analysts , NagaWorld casino - casino is a popular Vietnamese customers and more profit $ 90 million last year - is likely to attract more customers in the future .

Thansur Bokor casino project is bigger than NagaWorld , is built on an area of ​​5 km2 area . Previously, this place has a French colonial hotel and then moved into the casino , but was abandoned in the 1970s . In the future , Bokor Thansur can also add the cable car line for tourists sightseeing and a great golf course .

Some experts in the field of business casino doubts about the success of this project , as well away Thansur Bokor Phnom Penh . In addition, it is unclear whether Cambodia can attract visitors to object the same family as holiday tourists helped subjects of casino revenue in Singapore increased boom .


According to Ben Lee , an expert with the consulting firm IGamiX , in Cambodia , gambling is a " serious business rather than going out . Travelling lots and time consuming ."

But Thansur Bokor Director , Mr thousand Banal , is confident that this project will succeed . "We provide a perfect address for leisure travelers in a pure environment with cool weather all year round ," he said Banal . According to Mr. Banal , opening routes to destinations nearby Sihanoukville will also help increase the amount of visitors to Bokor Thansur .

Welcome to historic Angkor Cambodia ... or at least my virtual tour of it!

Angkor consists of dozens of temples and other structures, spread over a wide area, built between the 9th and 13th centuries by the mighty Khmer empire which, at the time, dominated southeast Asia.

Angkor Wat, seen here, is perhaps the largest and most impressive of the temples, but it is far from the only site worth seeing!

 Angkor is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and for buildings a thousand year old, the structures are amazingly well-preserved. The nearest town, only a few minutes away, is Siem Reap. Not surprisingly, the town has plenty of hotels and restaurants, many of which seem to have opened only in the last few years. Perhaps the easiest way to get here is via air. The small but modern Siem Reap airport has direct flights from a number of cities, including, conveniently, Bangkok, a
major regional hub.

 Most people visit Angkor for 1, 2, or 3 days. Passes to the Archeological Site are available for 1, 3, or 7 days. In one day, you can hit the main highlights. I'd recommend at least two days, though, which lets you see a lot more. There are a number of ways to tour the sites. An awful lot of folks visit here as part of group tours. Better, in my view, is to hire a car and driver for the day and go at your own pace. By Western standards, that option is remarkably cheap here, typically around $25 a day. Most, if not all, hotels can arrange it. 

 One of the most amazing things about Angkor are the beautiful and intricate carvings, which have survived surprisingly well over the last 1000 years! (I suppose it helps to be surrounded by jungle, not urban pollution.) It's useful to have a guide to point out some of the best carvings and explain the meanings. It costs about $25 a day to hire a guide, and the guides are all government trained and certified. (You can recognize them by their matching shirts with the official patch on the sleeve!) According to my guide, they have to go to school for two years to be certified.

 It helps to be in good shape to visit Angkor. Many of the temples have very steep steps, and some of the best sites require a healthy uphill climb. According to my guide, the steps were made deliberately steep and narrow to force worshipers to ascend slowly, with proper respect.

 It never hurts to remember to be careful! (I don't know what the health care is like in Angkor, but I wouldn't want to find out!)

 The good thing is if you make it to the top of the steps, the views are very impressive. As we will see later, some of the best views at Angkor are not only from the tops of the temples, but also from the tops of hills where some of the temples are located.

 Throughout Angkor, one sees many steles and walls covered with ancient writing. I have no idea what they say, but they certainly look impressive.

 The temples of Angkor are a mix of Hindu and Buddhist. Every once in awhile you will find a little shrine that is still in use, like this one.

 Although the temples today are of plain stone, in some places you can see hints of color, a sign that when they originally were built, these places were a lot more colorful and, thus, even more spectacular to behold.

 Many of the carvings give you a good idea at what the Ancient Khmer's wore. If you want an even better idea, around some of the sites you will find entrepreneurial Cambodians dressed in ancient costumes. For a small fee, you can take their picture, or have your photo taken with them.

 This is perhaps the most famous view of Angkor Wat, from the front with its reflection in the lotus pond. In the morning, when this was taken, the temple is somewhat backlit. The view is supposed to be even better in the afternoon, but that is also when the largest crowds arrive! Now it's time to leave Angkor Wat and move on to some of Angkor's other highlights.
