Phnom Penh trip report

[Blacktouch]

This depends entirely on what you are interested in.

The Angkor Wat temples are amongst the most amazing sights in the world. The centre of Siem Reap also has a nice vibe, or at least that's how it was on my previous 3 visits.

Phnom Penh does of course have more bars.

We visited Angkor Wat Temples. Was interesting to see. But once you've done that, no much else to do.

We still perfer Phnom Penh over Siem Reap.

Thanks for that Blacktouch.

Getting closer now!

The Killing Fields are a bit out of town but everything else is close by, if I recall.

Any tuk-tuk driver will take you. I paid $15 to go to the Killing Fields".

aussie, thank you very much for your excellent report. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

It is unfortunate that double duch got wacked out and ran off on some bullshit about air travel but then we must wonder what runs through the mind of a person who dismisses Angkor Wat as ruins in the jungle when it is one of the great wonders of the world.

Cambodia, especially Sihanoukville used to be my favourite beach holiday destination, but not anymore. Almost all of the rustic atmosphere is gone, especially the city beaches. With rubbish strewn everywhere and almost non-existant municipal cleaning services, I'm now back to Dongtan Beach. Earlier this year I noticed a great development project by Chinese investors taking the choicest beachfront real estate. Some of the favourite small hotels are no longer listed on Agoda, as they have been leased to Chinese companies. And the plastic pollution is too glaring and unsightly, even on the nearby islands. Prices have been on the rise. Boys have gravitated to Pattaya and Bangkok.
