Sir Nick Faldo was in the Kingdom of Cambodia recently to visit the site for his next golf course design project at the Vattanac Golf Resort in Phnom Penh.

Vattanac Properties has appointed Faldo Design to create two 18-hole championship-standard golf courses that will sit at the heart of a luxury resort 15km from the centre of Cambodia's capital.

Six-time Major winner Faldo was welcomed to the country by Cambodia's Prime Minister, Hun Sen, before heading to the site to work on the golf courses' preliminary designs.



"It was an honour to meet with Prime Minister Hun Sen and I thank him for his gracious welcome to the Kingdom of Cambodia," said Faldo. "This is a large site and offers real flexibility to create two completely contrasting golf courses. We believe the Vattanac Golf Resort in Phnom Penh will complement our existing championship course at Angkor Golf Resort in Siem Reap and further raise the standard for golf in Cambodia, attracting more visitors to the country from across the region."

Sam Ang Vattanac, Executive Director of Vattanac Properties, said: "Partnering with Faldo Design is a match made in heaven. We are a premier property developer and aim to set new benchmarks for quality and innovation in Cambodia. The development of the Vattanac Golf Resort will be another testimony to this.

"We strongly believe in the Faldo Design principles, which will bring out the best that our development has to offer. With a good location and design, I am positive that the golfing landscape and standard will be remarkably transformed. I look forward to the exciting future!"

The Vattanac Golf Resort will include at least one luxury hotel, select private residences and a number of sports, recreation and entertainment facilities that will cater for all the family. It is also intended that the courses will set a benchmark for environmentally responsible and sustainable design in the region.

The Vattanac Golf Resort is the latest addition to a portfolio that includes over 25 Faldo Design projects open for play in 17 different countries across the globe. It is the fifth new project to be undertaken by Faldo Design in Asia within the past 18 months, with work already underway on other sites in India, Vietnam and China.

it's not new, people are like ants attracted to sugar as they say in khmer, when they see opportunity they all scramble to the location. and it isn't just happening now, in fact it's been going for hundreds of years in any development plan in cambodia, you know. so don't exploit politics here! just understand that people will do what people do best, wanting a piece of the pie as they called it in the western countries, really!

Rainsy and his party have always wanted to join the gov’t as equal partners to help and protect the nation, but not as many CPP ass kissers.

PM Hun sen initiated to joint with Sam rainsy 5 days before July election in 2003, but Rainsy he too proud himself he denied. He Rainsy looking too high while he is not capable to run it. When do you realize yourself as an ordinary man Rainsy? at that time you start to be humanistic that will bring some attention from peoples and as long as you kept act like wild street you stile a loser.

To 5:56 you may live abroad you don't judge people by just one side opinion, obviously Rainsy never have fair judgment and he hang out with young girls in Cambodia more than he works for Khmer like you thought. I urge you to make a litle research you will find out who Rainsy really is mean to you. Rainsy stimulation to come back is motivated by young girls not for the sake of SRP.

7:18AM! You may know alot of Rainsy secrets and maybe right too!

But is Rainsy wrong for speaking against land grabing? Vietnamese put frontier markers on khmer farmers's land?

He may be not perfect but we stand with him (Rainsy) in protecting the right of Cambodian, justice for all?

Hun Sen/Bun Rany mixed Politics & Economics with pleasure....Suffering is caused by desires or unsatisfactoriness...!!!

None would be above the LAWS,especially Natural Laws and the law of Hun Sen committed bad kamma's Actions because of Ms.Keo Pichenda,Touch Sreynic and Chea Vichea,ect....?

Everything is not belong to one of them and everything is subject to change as uncle Pol Pot,Eang Sary his wife,Khiev Samphan and Noun Chea,ect.....
