Heat. Empty streets. Ivy League road names in Cambodia.

Welcome to Koh Pich (Diamond Island), Phnom Penh — a master-planned luxury district built on what was once a sandbank at the meeting point of the Mekong and Bassac rivers. In this episode of Big World Cinema, I explore Elite Town, a high-end gated community of villas named King, Queen, and Prince… and ask the question: why does it feel like a ghost town?

From Harvard Street to Arizona Street, grand Roman-pillared “City Hall,” unfinished malls, rooftop bars, shuttered cafés, and near-empty shopfronts — this walking tour captures the strange contrast between prestige development and quiet reality. Once home to fishing families after the Khmer Rouge era, Koh Pich transformed in 2006 under a massive redevelopment project. Today, it stands as both a symbol of Phnom Penh’s economic boom and a reminder of Cambodia’s rapidly changing urban landscape.

Is Diamond Island the future of luxury living in Cambodia — or an overbuilt investment zone waiting to fill up?
