It would be perfect as a restaurant / bar with large rooms, good access, leafy outdoor area, great location and large kitchen.

Why do we love old colonial buildings? Phnom Penh is one of the most best colonial cities in the world. Wide tree lined avenues, pretty gardens and stately homes made it ‘Pearl of Asia’ in the 1920’s. It is an attractive style distinguishing it from other cities.

From a micro to macro level, Colonial buildings should be cherished and preserved. With old buildings gone, Phnom Penh will become a concrete jungle, indistinguishable from other urban centres.

• Large garden setting with ample off street parking

Tonle Bassac:

Tonle Bassac is located on the west side of the Tonle Bassac River. It covers around 3sqm defined by Sihanouk Blvd, Norodom Blvd and National Road 1. The area is known for its many alleys branching off the larger streets full of bars and restaurants away from the busy city centre.

Reclaimed land known as Koh Pich has many condos, exhibition halls, hotels and other iconic buildings such as The Bridge and The Peak. A number of embassies are also located nearby, such as – Thai, Australian, Japanese, Indonesian, Russian, Malaysian, South Korea and Philippines.

The area is also home to many government buildings and gated communities so you will notice an increased security presence (private, police and national security).

Bassac Lane:

Amid widespread devastation of the hospitality industry by COVID, one area in Phnom Penh seems to be defying the odds. It includes bustling Bassac Lane, St 308 and St 21 where you will find cozy, high end bars and restaurants surrounded by new condos and other night venues.

The neighbourhood is made up of groovy little streets with cool bars and eateries almost hidden away. It is the fun area with a distinct western vibe with bars in a different theme or style to suit.

COVID-19 slowed business here but it bounced back and now the night air is filled with music 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.
