Stop reporting that the driver "blamed" the accident on slippery roads. This is not a defense to driving too fast on wet roads and losing control. This is actually an admission by the driver that he/she was negligent for driving too fast for the road conditions at the time.
If u go just a bit further south, to Bangsaray, there are plenty of condos for rent with 7-11's near and within 200-300 meters of the beach. It is much less congested. I have 2 condos there that are never vacant.
