  • 14 FEBRUARY 2019 - SIHANOUKVILLE, CAMBODIA: A Chinese worker rides his motorcycle through the Leu Market in Sihanoukville. There are thousands of Chinese workers in Sihanoukville who work to support the casino and hotel industry in the town. There are about 80 Chinese casinos and resort hotels open in Sihanoukville and dozens more under construction. The casinos are changing the city, once a sleepy port on Southeast Asia's "backpacker trail" into a booming city. The change is coming with a cost though. Many Cambodian residents of Sihanoukville  have lost their homes to make way for the casinos and the jobs are going to Chinese workers, brought in to build casinos and work in the casinos.
