SE Asia is a mapping nightmare. There are frequent duplications, and Google Maps in unreliable at best.
My first gym appointment was on Mao Tze Tung Ave, Phnom Penh. I turned up at the correct number at the correct time, to learn that I was 30 mins ride away over the wrong side of town. This is common. House numbers relate to plot numbers, plot numbers relate to developers, street numbers relate to an original plan of the city that is unrecognisable now. Drench it in rain for six months and nothing looks recognisable or anything like what you started out with. There are three developers building the same number house on the same street now. You want a Grab? hahahahahahahhahhhahhahah
