 The Boeung
Keng Kang area, bordered by
Sihanouk Blvd, Norodom Blvd, Mao Tse Toung Blvd, and Monivong Blvd,
has been considered the city’s ‘foreigner’s quarter’ since the 80s.
The area is base to many NGOs, embassies and international
organizations as well as
expatriate residences and hotels catering to long-term visitors. The
whole of Boeung Keng Kang 1 (BKK1) is dotted with visitor-oriented
businesses - hotels, restaurants, bars, silk shops, massage spas,
travel agents and realtors, with the greatest concentration of
businesses at the northern end in the Street 278/282 area,
particularly between Streets 51 and 63. Street 278 is lined with
restaurants, bars, shops and small hotels frequented by an
interesting mix of NGO/IO workers, tourists and expatriates. The
Street 278 area is well worth a visit and a stroll anytime of day,
but especially for lunch or dinner, or even better, in the early
evening when the bars are cafés are full and the street is at its
liveliest..
