After the French left Cambodia in the 1950's it became a popular resort for the Cambodians with its great views and good seafood and it saw something of a development boom. Tragically, for much of the 1980’s, this inauspicious little seaside town was the site of ferocious fighting between the Khmer Rouge and forces loyal to the government. Only now is life starting to grow in the area with people returning as the threat of land mines lessens by the year. Lots of the colonial property's in the area have either been destroyed with only the grand and ornate walls remaining or the remaining parts of them have been turned into housing by transient workers. This one ... the grandest on the beach front has had the garden looked after by the Town Governor for many years but the house has just been left as by law it cannot be destroyed, when we passed we found a family was living in a bottom room but after a little talk and a dollar they were happy for us to have a look. Not the biggest location but the views did it for me!  Media Coverage  Future Plans  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Pepper Mansion April 2007 Thu, Sep 20th, 2007 posted by lilli 10 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links http://urbandesert...he-pepper-mansion/  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
