Tourists began leaving Koh Rong Sanloem and canceling their bookings as authorities extended Thursday’s eviction deadline for businesses and resorts in the island’s Saracen Bay area, spray-painting resorts with new messages to demolish their businesses.
Business owners facing a second eviction deadline stayed mum on government negotiations last weekend as excavators and construction workers took over the Preah Sihanouk island.
Cambodian authorities are calling the popular beach resorts on major tourist attraction Koh Rong Sanloem island “illegal” and claiming there are only “one or two” left after a sudden eviction notice.
