Cambodia Casinos
May 19th, 2023 at 3:25There is a captivating story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den wagering is not legal. Eight casinos are anchored in a relatively small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect spot, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling locations in Asia.
