Koh Pich is an island, so everything depends on the bridges. Wide roads, light traffic on the island, but choke points at the bridge entries during peak hours.
/ 10
The wide, planned streets on Koh Pich are actually pleasant to walk and have less traffic than central Phnom Penh. Within the island, daily errands work on foot if you live near The Élysée or Elite Town. The catch: the island's 2km length means cross-island trips need a tuk-tuk or scooter, and anything off-island depends on bridges.

Koh Pich pros & cons: what's great, what isn't
We won't pretend Koh Pich is for everyone. Here's the honest version, from a Cambodia-based team.
- +The cleanest, most planned part of Phnom Penh. Wide roads, organised utilities, real drainage, building setbacks. None of the chaos that defines most central districts.
- +Genuinely modern infrastructure. Own sewage treatment, sewage system, fire station, planned utilities. Stable power and internet by Phnom Penh standards.
- +On-island Canadian Intl School. Kids can walk or bike to school, low traffic between home and school gate. A genuine differentiator for families.
- +River views & green space. Riverfront promenades, the 6-hectare Central Park, golf driving range. Real outdoor space, rare in central Phnom Penh.
- +Adjacent to NagaWorld & AEON Mall 1. Major entertainment and shopping just one bridge crossing away.
- −Still under construction. About 80% built out, but new towers and infrastructure work continue. Expect ongoing noise and changing skylines for years.
- −Limited street life & neighbourhood feel. By design, Koh Pich is more 'satellite city' than organic neighbourhood. No equivalent to BKK1's café culture or Toul Tom Poung's street markets.
- −Bridge bottlenecks at peak. School drop-off and pickup, plus weekend events at the exhibition centre, can stack up at bridge entries.
- −Investor-heavy buildings. Many condo units are owned by overseas investors and sit empty. Owner-occupier density is lower than BKK1; can feel quiet.
- −Single-developer dependency. OCIC sets the master plan, manages most infrastructure, and runs most amenities. Great when it works; concentrated risk if it doesn't.

Koh Pich (Diamond Island): FAQ
The questions buyers and renters ask us most about Koh Pich and Diamond Island. Straight answers, no marketing fluff.
Yes, for condominium units (strata title) above the ground floor, capped at 70% foreign ownership per building. Most Koh Pich condos (CASA by Meridian, Diamond Bay Garden, Diamond Twin Tower) are foreign-buyer eligible. Villas and shophouses (Elite Town, Elite Town III) are landed property and cannot be owned outright by foreigners.
Studio condos start around $95,000. 1BR units start around $155,000, 2BR around $220,000. Riverfront and high-floor units carry significant premiums. Per-square-metre pricing ranges from about $1,600 to $3,000+ depending on tower, floor, and view.
Overseas Cambodian Investment Corporation (OCIC) is the master developer. In 2006, OCIC signed an agreement with the government of Phnom Penh to develop the 100-hectare former swamp area into the city's first satellite city. OCIC has built around 10 projects directly including Elite Town, The Élysée, and La Seine, and partner developers have built others.
Yes. The Canadian International School of Phnom Penh (CIS) has its main campus on Koh Pich, opened in 2015. EFI International School is also on the island. This is a major draw for expat families and one of the genuine differentiators of Koh Pich versus other Phnom Penh areas.
Reported gross yields range from about 6% to 8% for condo units, with some pre-sale projects advertising guaranteed rental returns of 8% for the first few years. Actual yields net of management fees and vacancy tend to land in the 5% to 6.5% range.
Koh Pich was built up on reclaimed land with planned drainage and a dedicated sewage system, so it does not flood the way older central districts do. However, the island sits in the Bassac River, so river-level monitoring during major monsoon events still matters.
BKK1 is older, denser, more walkable, more organically expat, and slightly more expensive per square metre. Koh Pich is newer, more planned, has wider roads, offers villas and shophouses, and feels more like a self-contained satellite city.
