What it is and where it stands

The Thai Boon Roong Building is a large mixed-use development on the river side of Kampot. It fills an entire city block and sits next to the Entanou Bridge, one of the older landmarks in town. From the upper floors the outlook is over the water.

The status matters for anyone considering it: the project is under construction, so what is described here reflects the plans and reports rather than a finished, open building.

The two towers

The complex is made up of two towers. The taller one is reported to reach 36 floors, which would make it far higher than anything else along the Kampot waterfront. Treat that figure as reported rather than confirmed until the building is complete.

The towers are meant to serve two purposes: living space on one hand, and commercial space for businesses on the other.

Planned facilities

  • Swimming pool: a large pool with sun loungers and parasols around it.
  • Bar and cafe: beside the pool, serving drinks and snacks.
  • Gym: fitted with modern machines.
  • Shared spaces: communal areas intended for residents to meet and spend time together.
  • Sustainability: the development is described as using eco-friendly practices.

Who should pay attention

Property buyers and investors looking at Kampot will want to follow this project, as will long-stay residents who prefer apartment living with pool and gym access over a house or guesthouse room. Casual visitors have little to see yet beyond the construction site and the river frontage around the bridge.

Before committing money to anything in an unfinished building, confirm progress, ownership and contract terms directly with the developer or a reputable local agent.
