Hotels in Phnom Penh - Prices and Reviews

Day 87 - The bus from Nek Luong was a completely wrecked minibus with the back seat, on which three of us were sitting on, was completely unattached to the vehicle and rocked to and forth with each pothole - of which there were many! I though the roads in Laos were bad but these are not only mostly dirt, but a field of holes you have to see to b...

My full story is at http://isis-journey.blogspot.com/2008/0 1/cambodia-5th-9th-december-2007.html We got married on 2nd December 2007. And had chosen Cambodia as our first oversea trip together. Why Cambodia? :) Well, it was the nearest wonder of the world from Malaysia. And of course, we had to control our budget as we just got married. Hehehee...

We arrived in Phnom Penh by plane from Vientiane. What can we say about Phnom Penh? 'Hustle and bustle' just doesn't seem to cut it. The place is crazy, noisy and busy and, well, a bit of a dump! We wandered around the central city area on our first day and decided that there wasn't much to see so we went back to our hotel on the banks of the To...

HE SAID: We were excited when we found such a great deal on a flight from Phuket to Cambodia on Air Asia. Of course, once we decided to pay for the ticket, the price doubled. They tacked on a fuel surcharge, administration fee, government taxes and had a ridiculous 15 kilo baggage requirement that resulted in additional costs. Upon landing in Ph...

Mr. Wah, our trusty Tuk-Tuk driver was waiting for us as arranged ready for day 2 of our Phnom Penh tour. 1st stop were the Royal Tombs -, at Oudong Mountain. The site was about an hour's ride outside the city. Travelling through the countryside and watching the locals go about their daily lives is very interesting. We stopped along the way to t...

An 4 hour flight before our actual journey into the Land of Khmer from Shanghai starts. By the time we arrived, it was already night time and raining. Luckily, we have arranged for someone from the hotel to come pick us up from the airport. The airport was unexpectedly modern and clean, kind of reminded me of the Budget Terminal in Singapore act...

Half way on the way to the capital we made usual pit stop at some place in the middle of nowhere with a shed cafe and a couple of food stalls. I got off the bus to have a bit of stretch, and of course, within seconds, I was surrounded by kids selling me fruit. They were cool. Bought some pineapple of one and paid the tourist price.I then asked h...

How do you know an elephant's been in your fridge? There's footprints in the margarine! How do you know you're in Phnom Penh? An elephant walks past your hotel every morning at 6.30am! Yes, I know I'm not a morning person but I was awake on Wednesday morning early and thought I should get into the gym. So while standing around waiting for the li...

Man I hate organized tours. If any of you that haven't been over here, get off your duffs and make the trek, never, evereverevereverevereverever get mixed up with anything over a day trip tour. On advice from my buddy Ronan (thanks Ronan!) who heard from some chick that he met (thanks you cow!) that the three day Mekong Delta tour,including home...

After a 6 hour bus journey, we arrived in the Capital and were ambushed immediately by hordes of 'tuk tuk' drivers. Quite intimidating as they were grabbing at your bags, desperate for our business (all of 2 dollars). Fortunately we'd pre booked our 2 nights accomodation and got saved by a nice man who picked us up. It's a very busy and dirty ci...
