What a pleasant surprise
This is a top pick! ... , my sister had a poster on her wall for some band or another, probably The Smiths or The Clash or something, entitled 'Holiday in Cambodia'. If I remember rightly, on it was a picture of a Cambodian bloke about to be smashed over the head by some nasty ...
Phnom Penh and spiders in Skuon
This is a top pick! ... in solid silver tiles) - all very ornate and beautiful but a stark contrast to the poverty on the surrounding streets. Cambodia was a fascinating country to visit, with Siem Reap and the temples of Angkor being the definite highlights. Maybe Phnom ...
Final Day in Angkor
This is a top pick! Our last day in Angkor was a very long one. We saw both sunrise and sunset at Angkor Wat, still looking for that perfect view. I don't know that we ever found it, but we found more than enough stunning vistas to make the trip ...
Back in Phnom Penh
This is a top pick! It was a 7am start this morning to get the bus back to Phnom Penh. Really have enjoyed our 4 days in Sihanoukville. It's been really relaxing and felt very much like a holiday when we were crashed out on the beach! The bus journey was 4 hours again and ...
Silent Partners
This is a top pick! If you spend enough time in Thailand, you're bound to see some pretty freaky things. Like monks smoking cigarettes while talking on their cellphones, or two-year olds balanced precariously without helmets on the handlebars of motor bikes. One ...
Angkor - not the ship kind. Temple Tour Day 1
This is a top pick! Temple Tour Day 1 After brekky we met up with Josh and went down to our allotted rickshaw driver who immediately threw all his toys out of his pram about having to drive three people round and not two, so we told him where to put his map of Angkor and ...
Crossing the Border
This is a top pick! ... , those farmers who lose limbs to land mines can no longer work as farmers. They are reduced to being beggars. Cambodia has a population of about 13 million and is a constitutional monarchy with King Sihanouk as its head. Phnom Penh (population 1 ...
The country that time forgot
This is a top pick! ... here is sporadic and expensive. It's hard to rebuild an education system when most of the teachers and books were destroyed. Cambodia once had a fantastic infrastructure of roads and railways. Most are now collapsed to the point of no return. A ...
Day 77 - 83
This is a top pick! Weds 29th November I left the guesthouse and headed down to the bus station in Phnom Penh. I had bought a ticket to Sihanoukville - Cambodia's sea-side town so that I could go and chill out for a few days. It was a four hour bus ride and on the 20 ...
Incredible Angkor
This is a top pick! ... ticket for the rest of the ride. A minor insult, only $5, but the bus company owner's rudeness was a sour introduction to Cambodia. The roads to Siem Reap, as in much of Cambodia, are astoundingly bad. Many are laterite and dirt, which devolves into a ...
Seeing Angkor Wat at Sunrise: PRICELESS!!!
This is a top pick! Now, I didn't dive into my bus ride in yesterday's entry so I want to add a little color to that debacle. Upon sitting down on the bus, I began talking with a 20 year old Finnish guy (Janne) and a ~28 year old Norwegian couple. Throughout the ...
So this is what they mean when they say monsoon
This is a top pick! ... Club, where international journalists host weekly discussions on current events over cocktails. This should be particularly interesting, as Cambodia's upcoming election (July 27th) will certainly be a topic of conversation. Voting is a big deal here, ...
Quiet Kampot
This is a top pick! ... ! Anyway, the first time we attempted the mountain we ran out of gas halfway up and had to roll back down. Luckily everyone in Cambodia has petrol and so the rangers at the bottom helped us out. We decided to make our next attempt the next day with a ...
Bloody history, uncertain future.
This is a top pick! ... officer on the street-- their SUV's are all purchased with bribe and extortion money collected from the unlucky citizens of Cambodia (and the occasional western tourist, though thankfully we were not affected). If a Cambodian has a problem with this ...

An overnight adventure to remote ruins
This is a top pick! This tale is best told through photos, and this batch is worth several thousand words. (I've included at least a few hundred.) Please click on our photo album for this entry and read the photo captions to join us on our adventure into the Cambodian ...
Pedalling around Angkor
This is a top pick! ... only 50 cents so having a few in the evening didn't give the finance minister any headaches. That is one odd thing about Cambodia, although they have their own currency, the riel ($1 = 4000 riel), almost all prices and transactions are done in US dollars ...
Heart of Darkness
This is a top pick! ... three of us sharing a room we were up early this morning even with the previous days fun to get some money exchanged with Cambodia, like Laos, accepting both it's own Riel currency and US dollars but with most prices being shown in the latter. Mark ...
Anchor What Mate..
This is a top pick! Greetings from one of the world's unlisted wonders, The Temples of Angkor. The temples of Angkor, capital of Cambodia's ancient Khmer empire were built between the 9th and 13th centuries. There remains 100's of them today the largest of which is ...
Still Here
This is a top pick! With only having just gone to bed getting up to get the bus for the start of a 10 hour journey to Siem Reap just did not happen this morning, or at least not for Mark and I who decided to stay on while Zian and Shirly, obviously with greater will power ...
Angkor Wow
This is a top pick! There must be something special about the temples of Angkor for them to be able to get me up at 4am to go see the sunrise over them. Waiting for me was my moto guide for the day called 'Me' but if was too early in the morning to crack any jokes about ...
Don't look back in Angkor
This is a top pick! ... day, we are raring to go, and head off with Tommy to some of the more distant temples. First port of call is the Cambodia Landmine Museum, which contains thousands of mines which have been deactivated by one man, Aki Ra - who used to set them when he was ...
Cambodia (second time lucky)
This is a top pick! ... a very early start to get our plane to Phnom Penh. By 8am, we were there- second time lucky, I'd made it to Cambodia. Luggage retrieval was quick, and getting visas was straightforward. We were soon weaving our way through the city to Rory's ...
Ta Prohm Temple - Just call me Lara Croft!
This is a top pick! Our next stop is the 12th century Ta Prohm Temple. This temple quickly becomes a favorite A trail through the jungle leads us to where the temple waits. The air is muggy and filled with the sounds of birds whooping and squawking in protest of our ...
Coming to Cambodia
This is a top pick! We got off the bus in Phnom Penh and very quickly noticed a difference in Cambodia... everyone was smiling... everyone was waving hello with big welcoming grins and offering us help for nothing.... this felt good... I've heard people say they didn't ...
Tomb Raider country
This is a top pick! We left Bangkok at 6.30am for our bus journey to the border with Cambodia well prepared for the journey ahead, we had been organized enough to get up early and get the hotel to make us some food for a 14 hour adventurous (as we had been sold it) journey ...
Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh - Cambodia
This is a top pick! ... sight seeing and then leave to the Sihanouk Ville in the south west. The killing fields exist as a legacy of the shocking past Cambodia faced until very recently. The Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot, brought terror to Cambodia for many years and ...
Phnom Penh to Sihanouk Ville
This is a top pick! Our trip consisted of yet another bus journey! Thankfully we had Miriam and Victoria to break up the monotony and prevent the urges to throw things at the driver, other passengers etc... After five joy filled hours we arrived in Sihanouk Ville (Snookie, ...
Worst day so far on the road
This is a top pick! ... Guesthouse and Angkor Travel Agency on the southern bank. Lunch time and I'm upsold on a further ticket to second largest city in Cambodia, Kampong Cham (which is a lot closer to Phnom Phen for tomorrow's trip) as I'm making pretty good time. 13:15 - hop ...
Abandoned on the Cambodian coast
This is a top pick! With 20 new and very close Cambodian friends (and one driver) I made the 2.5 hour trip by 11-seater mini van to Kampot, a nice, relaxed little town near the southwest Cambodian coast. Shockingly, it was on a river and full of old French colonial ...
