A review of Sihanoukville (Cambodia)

Cambodia / Travel photography

Well I’m going to fast forward in time from my last post and bypass some experiences best forgotten: Bangkok with it’s theft and expense, Siem Reap almost bedridden with sickness for a week, going to Phnom Phen only to find the government is filling in the lake, it’s already substantially smaller than it was the year before.  But anyways, onward to good things: Sihanoukville I arrived Monday afternoon after only a few hrs in a relatively comfortable bus from Phnom Penh.  I’d only been about 4 hrs including the rest & ‘get made to feel guilty by kids selling fruit’ stop...

Chillin’ in Siem Reap – November 2007

Cambodia / Travel photography

After a couple days in the 3$ a night guesthouse I decided to move to a more expensive option, this one almost broke the bank @ $6 a night.  For this I get a place only a couple minutes walk from the town center (as opposed to about a half hr) free bananas, bread, toast, jam, tea & coffee.  So anytime I feel like a snack I can just wander down to the common area (which is always well stocked) and just fix myself one.  The coffee is worth the extra $3 just by itself! Anyways back to the... Read More ››

Angkor, What!? – 3rd December 2007

Cambodia / Travel photography

Ok, this is what Cambodia is all about, temple ruins.  They are touted to have the best temple ruins in the world and I’d have to say that I’d be surprised to find out that wasn’t the case.  Got myself a 3 day pass for US$40 which is a bit steep around these parts, but hey, it’d be a bargain at twice the price.  I’m told that there are many times more tourists around now than even only 2 years ago – tourism is exploding here and as such I feel quite lucky that I’ve gotten here when I...

Phnom Penh – 11th December 2007

Cambodia / Travel photography

Decided on a bit of a change in scenery and so hopped on a bus yesterday morning to get me to the capital.  It was a reasonably painless 6 hr trip to get here and after fighting through the tuk tuk drivers to get my luggage I was rather surprised to hear my name being called.  Seems either the guesthouse or my driver from Siem Reap (who I ran into the night before) had called one of his mates and told him that a guy called Ben was on his way here.  It’s actually a pretty common thing –...

Phuket to Siem Reap in 39hrs – November 21 & 22 2007

Cambodia / Thailand / Travel photography

Day 1 07:00 Waiting at pickup point for minibus 07:45 Minibus shows up 12:00 After several hrs of stops every damn hour to graciously let us buy drinks and food from his mates (who I’m sure pay him to give us breaks there) we finally get to the mini bus depot in Surat Thani.  But me being the only person NOT going to one of the islands for full moon festival I have to wait until all the others have been taken to their respective boats. 13:30 Mini bus guy drops me off in Surat Thani town with instructions...
