Kien Svay - You will never wish to go again

Today my friend Alex , Eugene ,Meiju and I were heading to Kien Svay . My last visit was probably 5 years ago and I didn't really like the place . I thought maybe there were some improvement after such along time. Kien Svay is the place where price cheating is such a damn notorious place .I have heard many people complaining about this but now it's my turn. We were expecting to kill our sunday time with the feeling of relax but it turned out to be the most horrible experience I've ever met.

When we arrived at that place , . a guy ran toward us by trying to lure us to rent a hut for 0.5 USD. I thought : " wow, that's pretty cheap. It can't be this cheap. This guy must be cheating me " . But , also I wanted to know how he was going to cheat me . I confirmed the price with him a few times before following him to the hut. After parking my car, while following him I saw many people shouting as if they were trying to fight for something but I didn't bother to listen to them. However, it gave the impression of unfriendliness of the people there. Looking at the other side , the market was crowded with people passing by and the foods were on the display with the dust flying everywhere. I thought " such a dirty place , why on earth people would consider it as a resort". Along the walkway toward the hut, garbage was everywhere on both sides and the lake is filled with a messy water plants scattering everywhere. Until I reached the hut, I could see another number of huts built in the middle of the lake so I checked the price with him and it was the same price. We took the boat to the other hut side. After that I ordered some dishes for lunch. I was on full alert in making the order by checking every single price very carefully. I ordered tomyam, fried and chicken and other miscellaneous like rice , ice , dried beef and squib. All the things that I did not clearly talk of pricing , I didn't dare to use. Even with a box of tissue, we didn't dare to open since we didn't ask the pricing. I have asked the sale lady on per dish basis to be 15000R but her arguement at the end was that the she replied to me with each price of chicken and she needs to use 7 small chickens for every dish. Plus with all the miscellaneous, it totals more than 500000 R . The moment I saw the bill , my eyes were almost drop off. What da fu*k !! you such a cheating bitch. We were arguing and screaming at each other for a very long time. I felt that if I were someone powerful, nobody would want to play such a game with me. If I had a gun with me , they wouldn't dare to cheat me like this. What I needed was just to pull out my gun and show them. I wish I had such a power to turn them away. But, I was stuck in the middle of the lake and could not walk away from them. Then , I tried to negociate to 200000 R. I felt that was a pretty high offer already I would not pay more than that. They still didn't want to take until they heard me seeking my friend's help to call police then they became soft a bit . I could see their behavior started to change when I was seeking third party's help , then I began to feel reluctant in giving them 200000 R but since I already talked to them I at the end decided to pay off and leave the place. Just a short while later , I received a phone call from my friend telling me that those who cheat customers have been caught many times to the police station.What a pity! I should have received the abit earlier than this.

I still felt very bad while driving back home. On one hand, I felt I need more power to stop people from bullying me. On the other hand, I felt why this thing is happening in Cambodia. Why were they so cunning yet brainless?. They would slowly kill their own business. Someone must step in to intervene this before it further spead down.

This is my last time in life to visit such a place unless a substantial improvement has been taken place. I will boycott from visiting that place and would be very happy to see it closed down someday.

We closed the page by going for a massage to relax ourselves after a very long tiring day =) It was good though
