Four weeks of sales followed by a couple of weeks to strap the whole thing together ready for print. But what can I say, wa-hey we made it! Issue 47 is at the printers and will be delivered on Tuesday. If you can't wait that long to get a look at the guide you can download a copy below.<br />
<br />
Anyway, for this issue I have to thank Gilly and Kate for working so well with the advertisers and filling our re-launch issue, may the gods be blessing you both as I do!<br />
<br />
Much many thanks go out to Keven B. for his massive contribution of the most up-to-date Kep maps ever made, nice one bud!<br />
<br />
Thanks also go out to the islander Donkey Dave for getting it together for an afternoon and submitting his first article, and of course we thank his mentor Mark who kept the fluids flowing until completion.<br />
<br />
We too have to thank our advertisers who have made this relaunch possible, I am in your debt.<br />
<br />
Well then, here you go, the new issue 47, hot in the press, still. <br />

<br />
If you didn't know, Cambodia was then part of French Indo-China, ruled at that time by the Vichy French and under occupation by the Japanese, therefore it was a pretty dodgy place for a British airman to land.<br />
<br />
Anyway its a cracikin story and well worth a read, enjoy. <br />

<br />
Yes the sleepy little town once was part of the worlds first circumnavigation by an aeroplane!<br />

As many of you may know Tim used to run one of the most run down guest houses on lakeside, Phnom Penh, it was also probably the best as it for the mast part was quiet and boasted by far the best views over the lake. Sadly those days are gone, so has the lake as it has been filled and is now being built on. <br />
<br />
Tim's little celebration on the sandy beach was dotted by folks with a connection to Cambodia so it was great chatting and exchanging experiences of the Bodge with the multitude that attended and much enjoyed.<br />
<br />
Nuff said but here's to the next 40 Tim, blessin ya bud!<br />

<br />
Ask anyone if they know where Nelsons column is and they will say London, but the first one built is in Portsmouth, paid for by veterans of Nelson's last battle at Trafalgar.<br />
<br />
If you ever pass this way have a look, here is a link to the location on Google Maps.<br />

Untill reciently Cambodia still had a couple of Russian built Turya class torpedo fast attack craft rusting away in Phnom Penh, they were last used in the 90's when the UN re-engined them and used them for river patrol duties. They have now gone to I know not where. They mainly have small patrol boats for coastal and river duties, the largest being a Russian Shershen class patrol fast attack craft.<br />

British Royal Navy<br />
HMS Victory is a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line, she was launched in 1765 and is still in service being the flagship of the First Sea Lord of the Royal Navy. She has completed 241 years' of service, and at a cost of £63,176 and 3 shillings to build, she has worked out to be a real bargain.<br />

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">A - (A little bit about
you and the other members of the collective):</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
1) How long have you lived in Kampot?
Were you travelling before?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>We, the collective have been living
in Kampot for a combine total of over 20 years now. Each and every
one of us have extensive travel experience, though none of us appear
to have gone very far.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
2) Why did you move?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Rumours of movement are greatly
exaggerated. In essence the collective has moved to Kampot to protest
the manner in which our home countries have disappointed us.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
3) What were you doing before?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>We have combined expertise in
electronics and control systems, psychiatric nursing, oil company
procurement, shipping, import export, computer sales and marketing
and bar stewardship.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
4) What have you been doing since
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Perfecting the art of </b><i><b>being</b></i><b>
in Kampot</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
5) A little bit about the Kampot
survival guide - why did you start it? Why is it no more? (boo hoo!)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Rumours of the demise of the KSG are
all false and were perpetrated by our publisher (subsequently demoted
to paper boy). An executive board meeting revamped the way we do
business (if you can in any way call a publication that earns nothing
a business), thus insuring the continuation of the Kampot Survival
Guide forever or until the collective melts down.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">B – (About Kampot
province developments):</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
1) Loved your tongue-in-cheek comments
in the last edition of the Survival Guide - but can you tell us
exactly what's going on development-wise at the moment? I saw that a
big hotel was being built when I was there last - but are there more
(grand) plans?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Once more rumours of or collective
tongues being in any cheeks are all false. Every last word in the
guide is true…really. Without more details we cannot comment on the
big hotel, though it might be the Diamond (now open) which is the
only building in Kampot with a lift. The other big hotel rests atop
Bokor Mountain and has an attached casino (both open).</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>The Old Market on the front is now
brand new and sports a number of virtually 100% Khmer owned shops.
Plans are afoot to revamp the old fish market/night club into a
riverside seafood restaurant, entertainment venue and recording
studio.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Other grand plans include at least 3
golf courses, a floating eco-village downstream, extending the river
promenade to the fishing village, and a new boutique hotel on the
former site of the Canadia Bank. </b>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>We now have freshly resurfaced roads
with lines, reflectors and cross walks, all of which are ignored.
More surfaced roads are being thrown down at a furious pace, water
system improvements, and more government building/refurbishment. The
Kamchay dam is struggling to get above 10% of capacity due to dry
season low water conditions.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
2) How long have these developments
been in the making? Who are the initiators? What's the timeframe?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>That’s a little like asking how
long is a piece of string? We think the Governor and local government
are at the heart of the infrastructure developments, while the
private sector is investing at a furious rate. In the past three to
five years the city has undergone a rather dramatic make-over and is
no longer looking like a dowager in need of a facelift. </b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b> </b>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
3) What's the ultimate goal?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Our ultimate goal is not to answer
silly questions over and over and over again…thus the Kampot
Survival Guide.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
4) What are your thoughts about it all?
What are the positives and negatives?
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4563237049916788067" name="_GoBack"></a><b>We try not to
think as we believe thinking destroys brain cells faster than the
local beers. Two members of the collective have business’ that
benefit from increases in tourism, while two of us are on pensions
and think tourism is a dirty word. Regardless, increased tourism, a
vibrant Cambodian economy and government promotion of the area, along
with publications such as yours. Trip advisor, Facebook et al are
having an effect to change Kampot from the undiscovered paradise it
once was into something completely different.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
5) What do the locals think?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>If you are referring to the local
Khmer community, they are at best blissfully happy or at least
neutral. Barang Sceut, which in essence means crazy foreigner pretty
much covers it. We think for the most part that the local Khmer
community see the growth of Kampot as a positive thing, providing
more employment opportunities than ever.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>The ex-pat community on the other
hand prefer not to think very hard or too deeply, which explains the
number of </b><i><b>sure fire</b></i><b> business’ that open and
close with predictable regularity. The collective are greatly amused
by all the ex-pat activity.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
6) How do you think it will impact life
in Kampot in general? What about your own lives? What do other expats
make of this?
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>We are of the consensual collective
opinion that the more things change the stranger it all becomes. How
these changes effect the collective is currently up for debate. As
long as we can eventually agree on a meeting date we will strive to
arrive at a collective opinion that at the very least is not overly
disgusting to any of us.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Our own lives are for the most part
mundane in the extreme. As long as it is someone else being hauled
off in handcuffs and leg irons we stay amused and emotionally distant
from it all. We are collectively disinterested in the growth of
Kampot, and as long as the price of staples such as beer and
cigarettes remains low we really could not care less.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>As to other ex-pats we, as a
collective have a problem answering this question. We are aware that
there are varying ex-pat factions in Kampot, everything from
religious zealots bent on converting the Buddhists to NGO types
living high off the donor hog, to suspected criminals escaping
homeland justice. Obviously no one will have the same outlook.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>PS: The KSG collective have voted on
this and we have moved and carried the motion that this is a silly
question.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
7) It seems that at the moment, the
whole of the south of Cambodia is being regenerated - Bamboo Island,
Koh Rong... Koh Rong in particular has massive plans in place, having
been sold by the Cambodian Government to a Cambodian-based investment
group called The Millennium Group, who are partnering with a
Cambodian company called The Royal Group, in order to build an
airport and 'ecological' resort. Do you know anything about this/have
any opinion on their plans/collaborations? Is it really going to be
'eco'? Surely they will have to destroy a lot of the natural forest
in order to build an airport?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Well, the collective sighs a
collective “Duh!” The aforementioned floating eco village on the
river is downstream of the city. With a population of around 40,000
and </b><i><b>no</b></i><b> sewage treatment, how eco can that
village be?</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Also refer to Bokor Mountain with an
estimated population living atop a </b><i><b>national park</b></i><b>
of between thirty and one hundred thousand, entailing the destruction
of untold hectares of Alpine forest. The ecology is not the primary
factor in the quest for earning tourist revenue. All one has to do is
look to Koh Samui in Thailand back in 1987 when the airport opened
there. How much consideration to the environment was given when that
decision was made?</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
8) I believe The Royal Group are quite
powerful in Cambodia in general - anything you can say about this?
Any opinion?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>It is wise not to comment on
anything containing the word Royal in the name. The collective are
guests here in Cambodia and smart enough to know that no comment is
the best comment whether that comment is positive or negative.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
9) The general word is that investors
have been snapping up long-term island leases as fast as they can. Do
you know anything about this? Who's buying them? What do you think of
it all?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>The collective can only assume that
these long-term leases, if in fact they are being registered are
being penned with people with much deeper pockets than we have. There
is an old saying that goes something like, “Make hay while the sun
shines.” Wouldn’t you take a long-term lease on a piece of beach
paradise if you could? </b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b> </b>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
10) What about Kep and Battambang?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Kep is a great place to read a book.
We at the collective recommend that visitors to Kampot make it a day
trip that includes the Kep crab market, the caves and a pepper
plantation. Unlike Kampot, Kep has no centre replete with restaurants
and bars to visit during those long tropical nights.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Battambang is affectionately called
Bottombang by we locals and we believe that is enough said, other
than it does have a river.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
11) According to an article on
Travelfish, Kith Meng (the chairman of The Royal Group) has the power
to revoke small business leases on a month's notice. Have you heard
anything about this? What are your thoughts/general consensus amongst
locals and expats?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>No doubt this is true and we have no
comment for above noted reasons.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
12) Is there a danger that the gap
between the poor and rich in Cambodia will become even greater? Are
there any steps being taken to prevent this?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Again, this being a political
question, the collective collectively have no comment. What we can
say is that the danger of the wealth gap increasing on a global scale
is high and there is no reason to assume that it’s any different
here.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
13) Is Cambodian infrastructure/the
Cambodian people ready for such mass potential tourism on this more
upmarket scale?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Our Khmer hosts, despite the horrors
of war and ideology run amok are more than capable of building on
success. The Khmer are resilient and resourceful people for who we at
the collective have the highest respect. At the high end of the
market, the Cambodian business community have proven their
determination and ability to excel.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
14) Do you think the Cambodian
government is selling out? Or, was this inevitable in the long run?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Once more, no comment.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
15) Is there a danger that certain
places in Cambodia will become yet another haven for the mega-rich
only?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Not unless they go the way of Bhutan
where only high end tour groups are granted visas to visit. The
collective, though they disdain the rock bottom backpacking traveller
do acknowledge that there is money to be made from all ends of the
spectrum. Do the math. One million tourists at $20 each for a one
month visa equals twenty million dollars. If each of those tourists
then spends only $15 a day, that’s an additional four hundred and
fifty million dollars. This four hundred and seventy million is the
minimum every million tourists spend. In 2012 over 2.2 billion
dollars were spent by over 3.5 million tourists.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
16) How do you think this will impact
the vibe/the economy/ecology? Won't a lot of natural countryside have
to be destroyed in order to build these big resorts?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Yes, yes, yes and yes. The vibe
cannot not be affected even if big resorts are not so big and
apparently eco-friendly. But don’t forget that as long as the
economic model of globalized tourism (or anything) is based on
growth, everything will be effected and not always in good ways.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
17) Do you see yourselves staying in
Kampot? What would make you move on? Where would you go?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>The KSG collective have no intention
of abandoning Kampot. It is our home, our chosen promised land. We
agree that short of war, pestilence, starvation or building a
Wal-Mart in the city, we are committed to stay the course. With a
combined age of well over two hundred years, we are becoming too
feeble to seek out a new place that offers us the same sense of peace
and harmony as we find here. </b>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Moving on is only a last ditch
option that none of the collective want to think about. The world is
becoming a less and less undiscovered land. We would like nothing
more than deter too many other’s from coming here and spoiling our
way of life. What’s left? Lao, perhaps but have you seen what’s
become of Viang Vien?</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
18) What do you think of the future of
Cambodia?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>We think that the future is bright
for Cambodia and Cambodians. There is a new generation of young
people who have not experienced the horrors of war and are beginning
to reclaim their nation and their culture. We believe that with
minimal interference from the outside world that Cambodia can
prosper.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
19) Will it still be a place for
backpackers/more freewheeling travellers?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Fortunately Kampot has not yet
suffered a massive influx of package tourists. We at the collective
note that although there are still plenty of gap-year backpackers
visiting, often on their way to Vietnam, the demographic is changing.
We have flash-packers and retired hippies on the road for the first
time since the 70’s. We have old and young folks coming here to
live, to set up a business or work for one. We are constantly
surprised that year over year more and more people of all ages are
discovering Kampot.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
... Any other thoughts or comments on
anything related (you can include views on related world politics,
whatever you like!) would be great!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Other than the fact the collective
think the world is going to hell in a hand-basket due to hegemonistic
designs the western world has on the developing world, all we can say
is don’t wax too poetic about the charms of living by a river with
a mountain range in the near distance to give form to magnificent
sunsets. There really is nothing to see or do here, so move on. There
is malaria in the mountain jungles, sharks and crocodiles in the
river, dengue fever in the city and rumours that the sea monster is
returning. Let your readers know that there are other, more adventure
driven, way more fun places than Kampot in SE Asia.</b></div>

<br />
We have had a major staff re-jig and come up with a compromise that works, basically none of us do sales anymore, we send email and then it's up to the advertisers to supply us with both artwork and money before deadline, its been tough on some but it's working.<br />
<br />
So anyway, we are back to three monthly printing, if you want in contact the boys at <u>ksgadsales(at)gmail.com</u><br />

Well we lost all of our download files, all copies of the guide and all the maps. We have since been lucky enough to get them back but its a worry. In future we will probably only offer one download option, that way we can easily keep the blog etc updated and recover from any loss with ease.<br /><br />Down to what we will be offering for download? Well probably just a cut down current issue with all ad's removed, allowing us to pop in as many pics as we want without the need to worry about a page count or advertisers.<br /><br />It is also very doubtful that we will print large quantities of copies again, the last straw has damaged the camels back and none of us at the KSG want to deal with advertisers or artwork ever again. It's a shame but well... you got five years of free work out of us and I think our work is done, all you have to do is look around, this place has changed, we have not.<br /><br />We may however print copies for our own use, i.e. we will print our own and give them to customers, or maybe sell them, possibly even sell in bulk with the old single advert on the front, who knows. <br /><br />There is still a chance we will produce the e-book version, so you may see QR code flyers appear in places with WIFI.<br /><br />Nothing is certain except one thing, there is no way we are going to deal with as many advertisers again, its too time consuming to do for free. But as a way of compensation to the many advertisers that used to drive me mad by asking "how long does it run for?" well, this next issue runs for an extended period, a period in theory long enough for us to decide the guides future. So this issue runs for 100 years and 3 months, that equates to advertising costs as little as $0.20 per year, unbeatable!<br /><br />bye for a bit...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Steve jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05724804569292296620noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563237049916788067.post-44112620002968547712012-12-18T16:36:00.002+07:002012-12-18T16:36:29.949+07:00Making Money Pay.

Breaking News – KSG Exclusive</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
From: XXX Ace Disgraced Underground
Reporter Head Teaser</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
To: Editor, Kampot Survival Guide</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Subject: Economic News</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.1in;">
“Obama was in
Cambodia last month to speak about far more than human rights.”
This statement comes from a highly placed source in the US Treasury
department who spoke to Head Teaser anonymously because he is not
authorized to speak to the gutter press. He went on to say,
“President Obama was in Cambodia to inform the government of a
daring new plan to avoid the Fiscal Cliff our country is approaching
at a gallop.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.1in;">
Another
conversation with a board member of the Federal Reserve Bank fleshed
out the story. “As you know, we have been printing greenbacks at an
horrendous rate. What do we get for that? A devalued dollar, that’s
what. The dollar needed some added value, so we put our thinking caps
on and came up with an idea that’s so American it makes me want to
get up and salute the flag.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.1in;">
He continued to
drop a bomb shell nearly as explosive as all the munitions dumped on
Cambodia during the secret war. “We have close to one Trillion
Dollars of paper money in circulation around the world. Our beloved
dollar has a life expectancy of between 4.8 and 17.9 years, depending
on the denomination. From the day our first dollar went into
circulation and our imposition, no sorry could you change that, since
the dollar was <i>accepted</i> as the global reserve currency; around
the world the Yankee greenback has promoted our brand as a benevolent
though paternally stern nation of rampant capitalists.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.1in;">
Pausing to wipe a
patriotic crocodile tear from his eye he went on to say that
advertising is as American as apple pie and advanced weaponry. “Most
of the biggest companies in the world are American, and they all have
immense advertising budgets. We can guarantee the likes of Apple,
Microsoft, Coke and Monsanto huge exposure on a global scale by
buying ad space on good old American dollars.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.1in;">
The interest in
buying ad space is so great that not even Feds ability to crank out
money is able to supply the anticipated demand. That is why the
American government is planning to auction off the one inch by one
inch ads to the highest bidder. Space on a five year print run of one
hundred dollar bills is expected to fetch in the neighbourhood of
five billion dollars a year for the next twenty years.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.1in;">
“There are a few
bugs to iron out. Like of someone goes into a Burger King and decides
to pay with a McDonalds five and they refuse to take it do we send in
the Treasury Department Police, the FBI, Homeland Security or the CIA
to enforce the legality of our currency. There’s some talk of
creating jobs by legislating a new level of bureaucracy with an
armed, international force of Money Police.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.1in;">
He went on to say
that the technology was ready at the mint to start circulating the
new ad-bucks. He also noted that other than the advertising on the
bills, they are to remain the same dull green they have always been.
“Can’t mess with the brand image too much,” he muttered.</div>
