Changes

There was very little noticeable change in this area between my first visit (2005) and third visit (2008). By 2009 tourists had discovered this area and now Golden Street has more bars and spas. The Internet Cafe is now a bar and delightful Khmer Cafe had gone and the Internet Cafe moved into their old premises. Six months later it has been replaced by a women's fashion shop. New bars and coffee shops have opened in the once quiet surrounding streets. There is also a number of new apartment buildings replacing houses in nearby streets.
