Hotels in Phnom Penh - Prices and Reviews

Graham & Sandra came to PP & took us around to meet so many people from all types of organisations. All these people were so amazing not in just doing what they were doing here in Cambodia but in giving us time & talking about what they did & showing us around.




We met many people working in the area of afterca...

We arrived at Phnom Penh (the capital of Cambodia) around midday and decided to stay at the guest house we were dropped at; Okay Guest House. It was relatively clean, had hot water showers, aircon, and satellite TV and only cost £5 so we went with it. You forget how good hot water showers are when you've been washing in cold water rivers and sho...

Over this weekend is the Water Festival where there are the dragon boat races with up to 50 people in each boat. I watched them practising on the Tonle Sap river. The boats were very colourful and each crew wore the same coloured T shirts.Unfortunately I would not be here for the actual racing. I was told that up to 1 million people come in from...

Verjetno skoraj ni zapisa iz Kambodze, ki sva ga doslej objavila in ki ne bi vseboval vsaj stavka ali dva o tukajsnji drzavljanski vojni in obdobju vladavine Rdecih Kmerov. V samo zgodovino se ne bova spuscala detajlno, lahko le stenografsko nastejeva nekaj najbolj osnovnih podatkov. V letu 1975 so Rdeci Kmeri po 5 letnem boju zasedli celotno Ka...

Saw a possibly Russian tourist kick off at a Cambodian waiter for... no reason really, probably had too many Angkor drafts. I think it started beacuse his drunk Australian mate tried to buy a meal for one of the street kids and about 7 showed up and the restaurant owners didnt want them sitting at a table. The Australian stood his ground and the...

So after a very long and rainy monsoon season, I decided it was time to take a little time off of work and head down to Thailand to visit some friends from Malaysia. I left for Koh Lanta, which is an island about 3 hours south of Phuket, last Friday with a quick stop in Bangkok to drop off some work for my boss who has been stuck there for more ...

Our $10 each 5-6 hour bus from Ho Chi Minh turned out to be just bordering 12 hours! As usual we did it true hardcore backpacker style and didnt bother getting any provisions for the bus bar a can of coffee each and an apple. There're aint such thing as shops really in Vietnam so it wasnt totally our fault! We made good time until we got to this...

Naa har vi havnet i Phnom Penh i Cambodia etter en 4 timers busstur fra Vietnam. Dette var en ganske enkel tur. Over grensen gikk det veldig greit med visum, bortsett fra at Olav holdt paa aa glemme bagen med alle vaares papirer/kredittkort++ paa passkontoret ;) Vel fremme i PP fant vi et hyggelig gesthouse, satte fra oss bagene og dro ut og tok...

Another early start today as we have a flight this afternoon. our guide met us at 7am (having packed and left our room - David on time!)and we headed off to see Angkor Wat, I think we said yesterday, it is totally impossible to capture the whole feeling of this place without pictures, smell and touch. but WOW it is totally jaw dropping. lots of ...

First impressions of Cambodia's Capital City Phnom Penh were very good indeed! The city was alot more cosmopolitan and built up than we expected! Lots of big 4x4's, traffic wardens on the streets, and alot of the buildings were very new and french looking! However this soon ended when we hit the backpacker area by the Lake in the northern part o...
