Cambodia official reiterates casinos barred near Angkor Wat

[geovalin]

A Cambodian government official has reiterated that casino developments are not permitted in the “area” of Angkor Wat (pictured), in Siem Reap, which gives its name to a city and province in northwest Cambodia.

Hong Kong-listed casino investor NagaCorp Ltd had said in its interim results filed on August 27 that it was planning to “explore viable and profitable IR development in [the] Siem Reap and Sihanoukville areas”.

NagaCorp has a long-lasting casino monopoly for Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh, and immediate surroundings.

Good...this place is revered by Cambodians and does not need to become a gambling den!

For reference:- there are no tall buildings/tower blocks in Siem Reap as nothing can be constructed higher than sacred Angor Wat - everything looks UP to Buddha, not down (unlucky)!! So no high rise Chinese hotels and casinos in Siem Reap - perhaps just low level ones no more than 5 floors high (the maximum) in the future.
