Phim Hay 360s

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 .

Bangkok is a tourist's paradise but also quite a lot of hidden potential disaster scams .
1 . Tuk tuk hoax

With travel time is tight , everyone is eager to sit up after the tuk tuk can be straight forward or destinations need to be paid directly to the hotel after the tour is finished . However, tuk tuk drivers in Thailand are very " wise " error .


They will tell you that they get government support to take you to the mall , jewelry center , souvenir shop before bringing you to the point of need. When you buy an item in it , of course the driver will be money percent . If you do not buy anything , the driver is still part of the money , smaller for referral . Some tuk tuk drivers at night your dog straight to the nightclub and refused to take you home .



The best way to stay away from " finger moves " are hired taxi , take public transportation or just go tuk tuk in the daytime .

2 . " Tourist Trap " Khao San

Khao San is the familiar streets with tourists " dust " but is also home to many potential scams trick . Here you easy to buy worthless items or pricing " chat " much more . Typical items that tourists are trapped gemstones , branded fashion and electrical goods .


The best way to not get the trap is dropping do not buy anything that you do not understand , ask your visitors to go before the price of the item and look around before deciding Quotes purchase.

3 . Fraud at the famous works

Even if you've come to the right destinations need to as Wat Pho , the Grand Palace and Khao San Palace , you can still continue to be tricked .

You can be the tour guide fake or management staff seem very realistic to tell you that the process has closed and lure you to other destinations . Even some scammers still right up stalls selling fake tickets right outside the real ticket to cheat tourists .

Some crooks even willing to pick you up outside the famous building to take you to the other shopping , bus lie that it is completely free .


So , if you do not want to be fooled , do not ever step right onto a tuk tuk , especially if it's free . Information should be checked prior to the opening hours of the ticket booth and the famous works on the internet .

4 . In common with the indigenous people

In common with the indigenous people are the ideal way to explore , learn about their daily lives . However, you should thoroughly learn about the family that you intend to live together when this intention in Bangkok .


Sometimes , some not so honest family can bet money you invite to your siphoning , others may charge extremely high fees for meals or give substance to food and drink .

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.

 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.

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.
