 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
1980s. The area is base to many NGOs, embassies and international
organizations as well as expatriate residences, hotels and
apartments catering to long-term visitors. The whole of Boeung Keng
Kang 1 (BKK1) is dotted with visitor-oriented businesses - hotels,
restaurants, bars, shops, spas, travel agents and realtors, with the
greatest concentration of businesses at the northern end on
and around Street 278/282, 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.
