  • Traveling to PHNOM PENH, Cambodia for the First Time!
    First impressions!? VERY good!!!!
    I left LELE behind in Pattaya and conducted much Visa renewal trip for 3 days and 2 nights to the capital of Cambodia, the city of Phnom Penh. I found a cheap hotel to stay at in the Phnom Penh tourist precinct, 500 meters from the RIVERSIDE, for only $16 a night.
    I got absolutely RINSED by a Tuk Tux driver, learned my lesson and did my best to pick up some of the essential Khmer words. I struggled to learn the Cambodian Riel (cash) despite its rainbow selection of colors. I'm doing this trip to Phnom Penh on a budget so expect to see low cost everythang! Phnom Penh Night life video coming up NEXT!

Less people, better looking beaches AND you don't have ppl trying to sell you activities left and right like you do on Thai islands.

    So glad you liked phnom penh. $10 for a tuk tuk drive anywhere in the city is a lot. The ones just outside arrivals trap tourists. Just outside there imare the indeoendent tuk tuks. Bargain with them. $2 for a 10 minute journey to $5 for all across the city. :)

    Never met them, but they lived just opposite my balcony in Jomtien for a good while.... Never been to PP but Siam Riep was fun...1st day there walked 3-4km out of town to the north/local entertainment venue area but was too early.. found a convenience store with karaoke playing, bought a ginzberg? beer ... Ended up in a small party at someones home out of town! Very friendly place for travellers! Back to my place in Jomtien in a couple of weeks - sadly only for 10 days or so, but back in Nov for longer!
