Dara Sakor | Workers at an international airport under construction in western Cambodia this week were preparing the tarmac for a runway more than 3km long – big enough to land Boeing 747s or military aircraft, and longer than the one in the country’s capital, Phnom Penh.
The airport will sit inside Dara Sakor, a special economic zone where a Chinese company with ties to the military is building a mega-resort with a casino, an 18-hole golf course and an area for mooring jet skis and yachts.
