Troubled waters
... . We found Cambodia to be a very nice place and the people were a lot more friendly than in Vietnam, you can certainly tell Cambodia is still feeling the effects of the terrible thing Paul Pots did and due to the lack of teachers people are very poorly ...
Crab Shacks
Well, finally! The Beach! We arrived and found a Guest House. Walking there, much to the surprise of the TukTuk drivers who genuinely couldn't believe that we would ACTUALLY want to walk. The next day, we set out intent on reaching the shores ...
Last days in Cambodia
... it was very rare to see them up stream this early in the season so we were very lucky. We had our most amazing meal in Cambodia that night (although we must confess it was French food, there is only so much curry you can take after a while). Then ...
Koh Kong, aaAAaRgh, what a disaster...
The bus drive from Sihanoukville was one of the worst so far (and that says something). In Cambodia you better be prepared to listen to nonstop karaoke, it sounds all the same and the people seem like they are in some sort of a trance looking at ...
Finding Paradise
... and stayed in a very funky guesthouse in Tratt by the river instead. We met a great Australian couple who had just arrived from Cambodia by a 10 hour mud track bus journey, and they looked really shaken so I guess we had it easy. We celebrated our ...
Spezialitäten in Kambodscha
Die Fahrt nach Koh Kong, der Grenzstadt zwischen Thailand und Kambodscha im Süden Kambodschas, ging gegen 9 AM los. Der Bus fuhr planmäßig weg entlang der Küste waren wir 5 Stunden schon an der Grenze. Leider war das etwas zu weit, da wir eigentlich ...
Koh Kong, not King Kong!
... day. Then we returned back to the guesthouse. I enjoyed meeting all the people who came with me. There were people from Cambodia, Australia, England, and Italy. And me, the only American! Everybody spoke English pretty well, so we all talked about our ...
Welcome to Cambodia
Yesterday I crossed into Cambodia. It was a quiet and easy crossing, though 1200 Baht for the visa. In Krong Koh Kong they accept USD, Baht and Riel. They have standard exchange rates 40 Baht = 1 USD = 4,000 Riel. Today my motorbike driver came to ...
4,000 Islands - Don Det
... that. We stayed here just 5 days then arranged to head to Cambodia by bus to Stung Treng. (I am a little behind with these blogs mainly because the internet/computers here are rubbish so Cambodia entry might be a bit brief as i'm now in ...
Tackling Cambodia
... tourists for too long to get overly excited about seeing us on a daily basis. The first thing I noticed about Cambodia was that there are more push-bikes, dirt roads, less mini-marts and a disproportionate number of hairdressers for some reason ...
Thomas' English Instruction Blog
I work for a reliable English instruction organization as a Future Directives Coordinator . Articulation is my companion and is a really impulsive long-tailed chinchilla . ...
Koh Kong home to Bangkok
... were immediately overrun but desperate tuk-tuk & moto drivers looking for business. Although it had happened in most places in Cambodia when getting off buses, I think this was the time I found it most overwhelming and luckily Ronan kept a cool head ...
Back in the land of noodle soup for breakfast
... Bhuddha, finishing off with a much needed leg, foot, head and shoulder massage. Bliss! Had a long long journey to Cambodia from Bangkok yesterday. It didn't start well with the 8am bus being nearly and hour late (not sure if ...
PHOTOS VIETNAM et CAMBODGE
Quelques photos sélectionnées parmi celles que j'ai prises au Vietnam mais aussi au Cambodge ce mois de septembre 2011. Il est impératif de cliquer pour agrandir ces photos dont quelques unes figurent déjà dans d'autres pages. ...
The Rainbow Lodge – en smuk plet i junglen
På vejen fra Phnom Penh til Kardemommebjergene havde jeg betænkeligheder. 6 dagen i storbyen, en børneflok, der var ved at bære præg af at savne vennerne, håndbolden og lidt alenetid. Jeg har forsøgt at vælge steder undervejs som ville kunne ...
On the move along the coast
... , who work like crazy for half the year at home in order to spend the rest of the year diving off the coast of Cambodia and Thailand. V pleasant place to spend the evening drinking on the verandah... Apart from the lack of running water and cacophony of ...
Mangrove forests and deserted beaches
Didn't think that Koh Kong itself quite lived up to its description in the guide book with the streets full of the usual and pretty dirty as well. Our guest house for $7 a night was one of the better cheap ones we have stayed in. The two redeeming ...
Lear sen hi Cambodia!
... tourism and sparsely populated with Khmers. I set off on my birthday on a fishing boat with four other tourists for a day on Cambodia's biggest island. The island itself is part of the nature reserve and is only accessible by private boat or with an eco ...
Inside the rainbow
... Cambodia at Koh Kong. The journey to one of the biggest provinces in the whole country is one of the best in Cambodia, weaving through the manifold forests while catching a glimpse of some of the most breathtaking sights of the nearby Cardamom mountain ...
getting tan deeply
Hi there Today we,another German girl Anika, went to Koh Kong Island. The Largest Island in Cambodia, A Gulf of Thailand.the other side of here is very popular beaches. But This side, quiet & calm white sand beaches only for us. It took us ...
Drinking and riding?
... next border checkpoint. Within about 2min I realize my driver has been drinking as he's explaining to me about tourists coming to Cambodia and quickly passing through his town, he's a little surly and I'm not quite sure how this is going to play ...
14 hours from Trat to Phnom Penh and worth it!
... a lovely American was the only one travelling to Phnom Penh however the English couple and two Swedish guys were going to Cambodia's coast yet they were apparently also getting on our bus (despite the coast not being anywhere near Phnom Penh). We ...
A sticking point
With time ticking slowly down to my exit from Cambodia I spent the last two weeks edging my way closer to the Vietnamese border and the Mekong Delta. Thankfully there was an abundance of sites to see from the West to South Coast, mainly natural, ...
Last Night in Cambodia
... 4 on the way back to Thailand. Yes there is a paved road and the side streets are dirt, but you have to remember you are in Cambodia. You would be aware that in almost every country there are workers from a near by country do the work no one else will do. ...
