Beware of the bunkers
PHNOM PENH – Cambodia and Vietnam are planning to build a US$100 million golf course straddling their border in a region heavily bombed by U.S. forces in the Indochina wars in the 1960s and 70s.
Project partners Cambodia’s Bada Investment Co. and a Malaysian firm called VXL will take five years to build the golf course, which will have nine holes in each country, as well as a 450-room five-star hotel.
A helicopter service will carry visitors from Cambodia’s famed Angkor Wat temples to the resort, Cambodia’s tourism minister Thong Khon said.
“After visiting Angkor, they can play golf before heading to swim at the beaches,” he told Reuters.
Cambodia recently leased five islands in the Gulf of Thailand for US$627 million to six local companies and foreign investors to build tourist resorts.
