Siem Reap-Koh Rong Samloem-Phnom Penh
Posted by Torncalfguy on 2/2/2016 at 16:49My wife, teenage daughter, and I are planning a trip for almost 3 weeks from late June to early July. Any and all feedback on our general itinerary would be appreciated. As you'll see from the planned itinerary, we currently anticipate going to Chiang Mai and Luang Prabang before heading to Siem Reap , Kohn Rong Samloem (Lazy Beach?), and Phnom Penh (from where we'll return to the United States). Any advice on whether we should spend more or less time in any place, ...

Koh Kong is one of those towns that people often just blow through on the way to somewhere else. On this recent update of Koh Kong our writer found there were actually plenty of reasons to slow down. Think river boat trips, trekking, island exploring, fancy-pants floating hotels and more. So maybe give it a night or two when you're passing through next. ...

Rabies ?! high risk ? anxious - advice please :(
Posted by lizepize on 20/1/2016 at 03:09Dear all, My trip for a month is getting closer. I am leaving in 3 weeks and feeling really anxious.

I also assumed if i got the shot, I would be fine. ...

Wanna share a taxi to Prasat Preah Vihear?
Posted by VIX555 on 18/1/2016 at 05:46Hello! We are really keen to visit Prasat Preah Vihear and taxi seems to be the best way to go. We have found someone who will drive return to Prasat Preah Vihear, Koh Ker and Banteay Sri from Siem Reap for $155. This is a lot but could be less if shared!! We have looked into doing it using local share taxis and though it works out a bit cheaper, we couldn't do as many temples in one day and might have to stay overnight in a the town near Prasat Preah Vihear to make it work. We are mainly in ...

Trip from Battambang/Pursat to Koh Kong (via Cardamom Mountains; Pramoay and O Som)
Posted by celsau on 21/12/2015 at 07:25Hi there! My boyfriend and I are planning on taking the road from Pursat to Koh Kong through Pramoay (Promui) and O Som in a couple of weeks (end of December 2015-early January 2016). I haven't found a lot of information about this road, only that it's apparently not recommended (general advice is to go through Phnom Penh), that there is no public transportation and that the road is not in great condition in some parts. Has anyone taken this road before? Any recommendations ? Thanks for the help ...

Boat - Siem Reap to Battambang
Posted by SteinOfOrange on 25/11/2010 at 13:22I have been through this before so excuse my dryness (been in Cambodia 3 years,) and here is my experience just last week. $21 ticket for the boat to Battambang from Siem Reap. Told it was a 7 hour journey. The van, which ended up being a pick-up truck, was supposed to arrive at 6AM and arrived at 6:45. The boat was so full we ended up on the roof - beware of the sun as this ended up being a 9 hour ordeal. The scenery was pleasant. Upon arrival 8 out of 8 people I talked with said they wer ...
