So as I’ve written before, Sihanoukville has lots, LOTS of unfinished and abandoned buildings that blight the place, giving it a rather creepy feel. It’s also still a poor, developing country, with many people struggling to get by. And while wages and the standard of living has gone up with all the development in Sihanoukville, it has been quite messy process. These photos are attempting to capture some of the harsher realities of that “progress” and how residents continue live in their ever changing environment.
Full steam ahead
Bring whatever you can carry
You’re going to need it
The real Sihanoukville doesn’t shine until after the sun sets
Your skin starts to prickle
Some things only come out at night…
