Phnom Penh Inns - Reviews and Rates

Yesterday we both got an introduction to the past one thousand years of Cambodian history. Today we would delve into something more current, in fact it only happened 32 years ago. Roughly 3 kilometres from the centre of town, lies one of the most grisly kept secrets from the Khmer Rouge reign. The infamous prison known as S-21 (santebal), creat...

We get into the capital and head for a lovely guest house by the lake where you can watch the sun go down. a few reports fromother travellers about rats and cockraoches but none that we saw. We headed out to check out the area and bumped into a street party and were invited to join by the locals..its was a celebration of a babys birth andthe mum...

After two beautiful beach-filled weeks in Thailand, (and using every day allowed with our visas), we planned our adventure into Cambodia. On December 23rd, we checked out of our hotel in Bangkok and hopped on our bus to Cambodia. Little did we know the escapades were about to embark on! The early morning bus brought us to the Thailand/Cambodia b...

Well the border crossing went swimmingly, after a largely excellent bus journey. After waiting 45 mins for the bus from Trat to fill up (standard procedure) we set off as the only non natives heading for the border, with the horrifying sight of a local with a few bags of durian, possibly the smelliest food in all the world. Its an enormous spiky...

Hi Everyone! Sorry we haven't updated our blog in a while! We just had an amazing time in Cambodia! We met so many wonderful new friends and experienced so many great things! In fact, we did more than planned and because of how involved we were, we extended our stay in Cambodia instead of going to Malaysia! (eventhough I am currently in the Mala...

Phnom Pehn is rebuilding itself no end. Completely backwards though. After the Kymar Rouge devastating the country in the 70's and killing anyone with any education (and just about everybody else in an attempt to reset the counrty's class system), the whole economy wobbled until recently. They don't even take their own currency as the tax you mu...

We set off at 8am today to go to the 'Killing Fields' which took about 20 minutes in a tuktuk from our hotel. We paid to get in to the killing fields and the first thing we saw was the pagoda they built with the skulls of nearly 9000 people in it. We then walked around and read about what happened here. 20,000 people were executed in one field a...

For some reason (I have no idea why) but I was quite nervous about coming to Cambodia, Matt thought I was being stupid! I had no reason to worry as Cambodia is probably a lot safer than home... all the people here are so friendly and all the children just want to say hello and giggle! We have made friends with this young girl who sells books dow...
