Phnom Penh Guest Houses - Reviews and Rates

Well here we are, Phnom Penh, Cambodia! Another country, another currency to get used too. We get approx 7000 riel to one pound, but what makes it even more confusing is the fact they use us dollars at the same time. You can pay in Dollars and get Riel back in change...hmmm!!!

Our time here so far has been quite busy. Yesterday we checke...

Jon taking over. Another early morning to catch our bus to the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh. Hopeful that our experience would be better than Siem Reap, we had a pleasant trip and arrived in the bustling bus station near the central market. Also on our bus were 3 other English girls around the same age as us, who kindly let us disembark from ...

Today, we have been to the infamous S-21 Detention Centre in Phnom Penh. They had tried to preserve as much as possible in the state that it was found. We were walking around and thought that we saw blood drops still there on the floor. We went into the interrogation room and into the individual holding cells. There were also room after room of ...

Christopher Parkin told his interest when traveling around ..Angkor..temples. Stare at the sun Letme start this off like I always do...short bus ride...tuk tuk drivers and hotel offers...we know where we are going...so leave us alone...get our room...done. Now the fun begins. Well the first day was not much fun... We had some planning and some b...

We weren't originally planning on stopping in the capital but due to bus connections it worked out better to stop over for a day which we are both really glad of. We were staying near the river on the edge of the tourist area and spent part of the day walking around exploring. We saw the royal palace, the silver pagoda, the independence monument...

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!! The time here is, of course, 12 hours ahead, so just as you all are about to dig into some yummy, sanitarily prepared turkey and dressing, we have just finished eating at....Outback Steakhouse. Yes, you heard me. And it is one of my carnal sins of traveling to eat at any establsihment that appears to have Westr...

So once across the boarder into Stoeng Treng in Cambodia there was no time to rest. It was straight onto another bus to Ratanikirri in the North East of Cambodia to make the most of my time in Cambodia. The journey was tough- which most bus journeys tend to be at the moment not sure why?- but I made it and was rewarded with the fantastic scenery...

Goodbye to Siem Reap. What a cool place! Loads of traffic on the roads and we were stopped at the first accident we had seen between a Camry and a moto bike. The guy on the bike picked up the bike and a few bits and pieces on the road and limped off and the car driver just drove off. No one helped just looked. Next time we slowed was for the rem...

I made it to Cambodia! The 2 day trip here was good. The flight from Rome to Kuala Lumpur was 12 hours, but watching the sun rise over Malaysia made it completely worth it. I found my youth hostel (they call them guesthouses here), which is pretty nice...as nice as you can get for a few dollars a night. I'm staying right in the heart of downtown...
