Paragon Hotel Phnom Penh

Upon arriving in Phnom Penh we went straight to our hotel - the infinitely superior (compared to the last one in Phnom Penh!) Paragon Hotel. Our bags were carried up to our room for us which was fantastic; we had been debating how on earth we were going ...

OK, after 4 or so hours in the bus we are here at Phnom Penh again. Unfortunately the Paragon Hotel didn;t have a romm so we are at the Burly Hotel in no less than the VIP suite which for $20 got us 2 beds but more importantly hot water. After lunch we ...

... we are in Phnom Penh. Got here yesterday by taxi in a little over 4 hours rather than 6+ by bus. Settled into the Paragon Hotel right on the riverfront, then found a halal restaurant for some lunch. Just relaxed on the balcony for the afternoon and ...

... only 35 years ago.  The cells many were kept in were tiny, conditions appalling and when the Vietnamese army liberated Phnom Penh only 7 prisoners were alive at S-21. Though the Cambodians have a cruel recent history, you'd be pushed to find ...

After a pretty painless 6 hour bus ride, we arrived in Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital city. The boarder crossing and getting our visa's was way easier than either of us thought it would be. The landscape on the drive was very similar to Vietnam; ...

We spent a few days in Phnom Penh seeing the sites as well as hanging out with Max and Sue for pool time and amazing dinners.  We visited the National Museum, Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda on day one. Day two was a somber day as we visited ...

... and a few farmers washing their prized cows in the river (their are Brahman cows everywhere here). We were dropped off at a hotel in Phnom Penh (Singh Hotel which the tour company owns). It was in the middle of the suburbs about 5 kms from the city, ...

... I think definitely this type of travel is for the young and beginners to travel. We are now in the luxurious Cambodiana Hotel in Phnom Penh after an altercation that it was time to accept our weakness, luxury hotels. I didn't mention the sex trade ...

We landed in Phnom Penh and got a taxi to the Paragon Hotel, where we checked into what would be a 4 star Hotel room in the UK, for the incredible price of 20 American Dollars, about 14 quid! The first thing that struck me about Cambodia was the ...

... lovely :) we visited three hotels and I let the girls decide while I hung out with luc. We eventually secured a triple room in the Paragon hotel on the river front for $21 a night, bargained down by ranu from $30 :) the room was nice and our moods began ...

Saluatous, Bien arrive a Phnom Pehn - Cambodge. Le speed boat depuis Chau Doc jusqu a Phnom Penh prend 5 heures, cest cool non ? Donc depart 8h, que des voyageurs bien sur, et arrivee au coeur de PP a 13h. Cagnard evidemment. Passage de frontiere on ne ...

... the missing garments on the balcony below…. a word with the concierge and they too were retrieved. One last comment on Phnom Penh... our overall impression of this intoxicating city is a positive one of hope. The sheer exhuberance of youth is on ...

After we arrived into Phnom Penh, we got a tuk tuk to our hotel. It was an interesting journey because it started pouring down with torrential rain, fortunately the tuk tuk had canopy which enclosed us so we didn't get wet, but the poor people on the ...

... moment we stepped out the plane, into the air-bridge, both of us want to step back into the plane again!! Hahaha. The Phnom Penh International Airport is small, but neat and nice.  On the left of the airport exit, there's the Tourist Information ...

... and off we all went on our way. Enough said, for further details we can talk about it at another time! The ride into Phnom Penh was beautiful and although the boat would have been more relaxing, we were pleased to get our first taste of Cambodia on bike. ...

... forme le Laos. Interro ecrite demain ! Viste du palais Royal, qui ressemble enormement au Palais royal de Bangkok. Dailleurs, Phnom Penh, avec son developpement actuel, me fait penser a une petite Bangkok en devenir. Son developpement, son big mart, son ...

... you think of dry barren landscapes – well I do. ************************************************************************************************************** We eventually arrived in PHNOM PENH at about 02.30pm. We got off the bus and ignoring all ...

I don't think there can be anything as hectic as Vietnam so our arrival in Cambodia was a bit of a relief. Phnom Penh seems like a nice enough place, although our plan was not hang round too long as there is a rumour that 'Ar Kid' is in Cambodia ...

... panniers and a donkey pulling a cart! In Phnom Penh was accosted by tuk tuk drivers as soon as I hopped off the bus! I said the Paragon Hotel but when I got there I didn't really like it. Of course in my usual style I still said yes. Then I walked around ...
