The 1st Fully Cambodian-Owned MEGA MALL Just Opened

  • Опубліковано 15 вер 2022
  • The opening of the Chip Mong 271 Mega Mall is upon us! It's the largest mall in the south part of Phnom Penh, it's the first megamall to be fully owned by Cambodians, it's huge and it's beautiful, and I'm taking you on a tour of it on just the second day of its soft-opening.
    Cambodia is one of the fastest changing countries in the world. Much of the change has come by way of foreign investment, but Chip Mong is one of the local brands that have really helped to shape Cambodia, and to help the country become more self-sufficient. It's a family-owned corporation that operates businesses in industries like: retail, hospitality, agriculture, construction, banking, food and drink, etc. They own Cambodia beer - one of the most recognizable brands in the country.
    The Chip Mong 271 Mega Mall is their first mega mall and it's a huge step for Cambodia's future, as well as the development of southern Phnom Penh - an area that many believe is where the country's future lies.

    As an Cambodian-American, this is by far the most goofiest channel about Cambodia that I’ve came across on UA-cam, so you’ve honestly earned a sub lol. Cambodia (imo) is an underrated country, and as an extremely goofy Cambodian, I am very happy to finally see funny and actual entertaining content brought about this country. Also, I am very surprised and happy to see Phnom Penh becoming a lot more modern! I haven’t been to Cambodia in about 10 years so I mostly remember the rural parts of Cambodia, but watching this made me realize that this country is finally starting to enter the modern stage.

    It’s good to have some malls but hopefully they don’t overdo it. Cambodians use to travel to Thailand and Singapore and the US and stuff to buy international brands and bring them back to Cambodia when Cambodia had no international stores, now they don’t have to anymore except the super super rich who go still to buy luxury brands like LV and Dior etc in Thailand and Singapore. I hope they bring at least one Tory Burch into Cambodia 😁. When I go there I can browse hehe

    I'm a mall rat myself but really prefer going to the big street markets that you find all over South East Asia. Malls are becoming more popular but really it seems for the expats and for some of the locals who can afford it. Malls are good to get out of the heat but they don't seem to have any personality. I go to Aeon mall in Hanoi all the time as its close to my house. When in Bangkok I also spend a lot of time in malls. Chatuchak though is my favorite market in South East Asia in Bangkok. Its good to see Phonm Phen developing more but I would rather see more about being creative than just selling products. Also create new spots for live music in the city.

    A fab tour. Good to hear that there is a genuine Cambodian company/group behind it.
    But at the same time, it is sad to see the same old Western Mall Brands that decimated the diversity and character previously provided by local shops and vendors that added value to the high streets, towns and shopping centres back in the day.
    Seriously, what's the point in traveling to another town or country if they are saturated with the same international and sterile brands as every other town and country.
