Bassac Lane:

Despite the widespread devastation of the hospitality industry by COVID-19, one precinct in Phnom Penh is defying the odds and operating almost Business as Usual, bustling Bassac Lane, St 308 and St 21.

There you will find small, high-end bars and restaurants that will soon be surrounded by new condos and more night venues.

The neighbourhood is made up of groovy little streets with great bars and eateries tucked away that cater to locals and tourists.

It is literally the fun area with a Western vibe. Each bar has a different theme or style to suit all tastes!

COVID-19 slowed business in the area, but it bounced back and now on weekends, the night air is filled with music and laughter as people return to their old habits.

Bassac Lane is now so full of bars and hole-in-the-wall venues, that new venues are spilling into Street 308 and Street 21.

Because land prices here are 10-20% less than BKK 1, prices are cheaper all round.

Prices of food and beverages are comparatively cheap. You can find a bar selling cocktails at $3, draught beer at $1 and meals from $5.

Amidst the general activity, there is a sense of optimism despite the tight border controls keeping tourist numbers down.

So instead of going to the usual haunts on Street 136 and Pub Street that have obviously been hard hit by the pandemic, check out Bassac Lane where the night lights are a little bit brighter.

About Tonle Bassac:

Tonle Bassac is located on the west side of the Tonle Bassac River.

It covers around 3sqm flanked by Sihanouk Blvd, Norodom Blvd and National Road 1.

The area is known for having many alleys that branch off larger streets. They are full of bars and restaurants secluded from the busy city centre.

The reclaimed land (known as Koh Pich) has undergone big development with many condos, exhibition halls, hotels and other iconic builds, such as The Bridge, The Peak and DI Riviera.

Many embassies are in Tonle Bassac – Thai, Australian, Japanese, Indonesian, Russian and Malaysian as are government buildings and gated communities.

Consequently, you will notice increased security.

Moving house?

Moving house – best you use a checklist as it can be a daunting task. Not only is it an emotional journey, but you’ll have reams of admin.

Here’s a checklist to help you tick off (and fill) your boxes! Even before moving house, change your address… start doing this 30 days before the move.

Sometimes a phone call will do, but you may have to provide proof of the new address or go into the bank, your doctor, kid’s school or Sangkat to fill in forms, so giving yourself a head start will help to shorten your to-do list.

In some cases you may be able to receive statements and accounts by email. This cuts down on paper wastage and ensures an easier address change process.
