Phnom Penh Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Took a cyclo ride around the capital of Cambodia, and even managed to do a little bit of riding.
For me this is not easy - as the cyclos are not meant for tall Geordie's but rather small Cambodians, but one i started and got use to banging the legs i was ok and it was good fun, rad a little race with Jorge at one point - but due to foul play...

So we leave Vietnam but not before one last bizarre experience as a man forcibly and forcefully gives me a massage as we sit in a restaurant trying to eat our evening meal. I don't get much say in the matter and the massage is good, even if it does feel like he's broken every one of my toes in the process. Early morning came and it was 'get on t...

slow start to day, very hot here and still tired from yesterday - very loud accomodation here too, backpackers eh! still, had a walk down to the river and pottered along the cafes and went on a river cruise at sunset, but mainly got a few chores done. Actually quite nice to be on a cruise with middle-aged Americans given the backpaper hell-hole ...

Well we have left Vietnam behind us, sadly :( We spent our last morning in Saigon running around getting last minute trinkets then headed onto the bus (the Canadian contingent Nadz, Jamie, Paul, Adam and myself). Bus ride was entertaining as per usual. First movie consisted of Fantastic Four, dubbed in Cambodia very poorly. After that we were tr...

Checked out of the hotel by 5am and were on the road shortly afterwards. Took all of the two hours pre-international flight to check the bags, clear customs and have a Burger King breakfast (not a good idea) and arrived in Phnom Penh at 9.10am, only 30 mins late. Managed to fit in a short swim and snooze, then out for our first tour. Phnom Penh ...

Arrived into Phnom Penh from Siem Reip just as the sun was setting accross the lake. The bacckpacker area in Phnom Penh is called lakeside and as you can guess the guest houses look out onto the lake. A beautiful orange sky awaited our arrival and it really is serene looking out over the lake at sunset. We stayed in one of the main three guest h...

On April 10 I started the first leg of a wonderful trip:"Mekong Delta Trip Ending in Phnom Penh (2 days, one night, Cai Be - Vinh Long - Long Zuyen - Chau Doc - Phom Penh (Cambodia)**". Bus left at 8 :15 a.m with 4 different types of travellers going ib Mekong River direction and we split off at Long Xuyen into smaller groups. The itinerary, acc...

Bus rides always prove interesting, this time it was when we stopped for lunch at one of the usual filthy roaside shacks. On offer that day was deep fried tarantula and rotten egg (as Dave was later to discover), other than that it was a fairly standard issue bus ride. First impressions of Phnom Penh when we got off the bus were of tens of moto ...

Monday JAN 8 When Vikreat picks us up at 8am, he stills looks sad about the previous day's car troubles and the possibility of losing his job, but we cheer him up. We make it to the airport in no time, give him a nice tip and bid him adieu. The small plane we board for Phnom Penh looks like a toy with bright painted animals on the outside, but m...

We're back in Phnom Penh and about to sail down the Mekong into Vietnam tomorrow. The biggest thing I feel right now is a great desire to do something to help the people of Cambodia. I don't quite know what to do, but I hope to do something soon. The mine survivors and the ongoing demining effort are certainly worthy causes. We went to the killi...
