Potential for a massive new resort including theme parks, water park, multiple hotels, ecology and historical entertainment. It would be a similar size to the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim.

Just 500 meters from Angkor temple park grounds, casino operator NagaCorp has proposed a giant 75-hectare resort with theme parks, a “China Town” and hotels that the company compares to Disneyland. The resort, tentatively named “Angkor Lake of Wonder,” will be situated south of the Angkor Archaeological Park’s protected area in Siem Reap province and is expected to have its initial phase of construction complete by 2025.

The first seven to 10 years will be rent-free, with the company paying about $450,000 a year thereafter, with a 5 percent increase every five years. Over the 50 years, Naga would pay a total of at least $21 million, or about $29 per square meter. In the announcement, NagaCorp says the initial phase, costing $350 million, would see two five-star hotels, a water park, indoor hi-tech theme park, China Town and ancient Angkorian-style canal attraction developed. It has further plans for a spa and cultural gardens.

The construction of Movenpick Hotel & Resort Al Marjan Island is in greater progress. The hotel will boast a prime beachfront location, offering guests unrivaled views of the magnificent Ras Al Khaimah coastline. The hotel offers 5-star amenities, including branded rooms and chalets, in addition to world-class entertainment attractions, restaurants, cafes, fitness facilities, and more.

According to Construction Week this hotel construction should have completed external construction by September 2020 however this is the most recent video I can find and it doesn't look likely! Does anyone have anything more recent to share?
