Thai province to supply water to Koh Kong

[geovalin]

Prime Minister Hun Sen yesterday urged authorities to connect pipes to Thailand’s Trat province to obtain water for Koh Kong province, which is facing drought. Speaking to about 13,000 garment workers in the province, Mr Hun Sen said that Koh Kong is facing a shortage of water sources. “Koh Kong is running out of drinking water,” he said. “This is our concern.”

. .

Mr Hun Sen noted that tycoon Ly Yong Phat has a reservoir to supply water in the province, but the water level is going down. “Now water supply from the reservoir may only be enough for one month but today I received information that Thailand’s Trat province has agreed to supply water to us,” he said. “So we have to have pipes connected to Koh Kong.” Mr Hun Sen thanked the Trat provincial authorities for agreeing to supply water to Koh Kong province.

There are about 10,000 factory workers out near the border but I think they make car parts. Don't know there are garment workers there.

No pipe yet. They are trucking in water from a lake. It seems to be getting low quickly.

Probably not a good destination for New Years. This hotel is not taking bookings.
