dam hot n dam shining.

worst than KL. if u plan to visit the angkor at siem riep, bring a lot of shading. it could be so hot in the day, that u can't cover the whole afternoon.

beer is very cheap only $1. avoid street food, very dirty can get diarrhea. bring charcoal pills, their pharmacist and clinics r shitty.

bring US dollars. over there they got two prices, once they know u r foreigner which is obvious, they will charge u the foreigner rate.

there is a market in phnom penh, well known for their pirated goods, but the t-shirts are bad quality. Nothing special abt russian mkt. go see the S-21...then u will appreciate life in merehsia...

their mutton soup is dam delicious, if u dare u can try their fried grasshoppers.

Dont bother going to tonle sap...unless you want to be sap dried.

phnom penh, i forgot which street..lah, their street got a lot of number one, like 108 lah, 110 lah.

i think u gotta ask the hotel pipu.

their mutton soup is like our steam boat.

but also got high class restaurant...that offer this mutton soup.

if u wanna ask for direction, at night you can stop by this chicago grill, the bar is own by a malaysian and a lot of msian expats hang out there.

if u like guns, u can pay $100 to fire a AK-47. Some where after the airport..its an army camp.

For $200 you can fire a RPG.

not sure if they hv hot air baloon. i wouldn't trust anything by cambodians.

my hotel, air cond rosak...they move me to 3 to 4 other rooms, the air cond still rosak.

i send my laundry to wash...end up i receive 3 additional underwear from strangers...euuuuu

their pipu very blur blur one ah. some time ask them to do something, very vomit blood. 5am..outside my hotel room, i already hear the cambodians hon hon..yeah they like to hon one...their road all jam like hell...travel 10km need 2 hours. then when car coming..the pedestrian just gently walk to cross the street like they are king..car have to stop for them. motorbike, they try to cram 5 people sit on it...heck once i saw 12 people sit on one motorbike...they put a trailer behind the motorbike.

their wet market ah, better dun buy from there. when my company van pass one wet market...i saw the meat black color..ya know why? Because the black color are the flies that cover the meat...then the stray dog come the air liur all over the meat display..the hawker also dun care..thsi is why i so afraid to eat in their hawker stalls.

but they are very good in roasting pork...dam delicious. their rice quality is excellent. just be careful of some of their dishes. I once ate some kind of wierd cake..the canteen operator was selling...it taste like burn ants add with vinegar..the taste never got out of my mouth for days.

morning all the lady there like to walk in pyjamas...then put a lot of bedak on the face.

moment u walk out from ur hotel entrance, everybody come out to kacao u...ask u wanna go for massage lah? motorbikers ask u if u need a lift lah? tuk tuk ask u if u need a lift lah? Every time i come out i kena that, even when i walk two blocks away to the minimarket next to my hotel...they so stupid one...still wanna ask me if i wanna pay $2 to ride their bike. very harrassing lah.

no lah, u only tourist there.

i worked there b4.

dam sien.

I think pyjamas is a 2nd national costume....and travelling by bus takes too much time...I planned but cancelled and flew direct to Siem Reap instead.  By pass Phnom Penh.

wear pyjamas...jap slippers and LV handbags very heng over there.

i can't recall when is the raining season go check wikipedia lah. i was there two years ago...but i advice u better go during full sunshine.

their rain is worst than ours. when it pours it is like waterfall. then banjir everywhere. their infrastructure is horrible...rain sikit pun banjir.

some more the land very parch, not like our dense jungle, dusty roads and all, so when rain easily banjir.

phnom penh is between two gigantic rivers, mekong and one call tonle bassac (something like that, my khmer is a bit rusty)...so when rain they overflow.

take their taxi lah...6 hours ride.

very special one, somehow they can fit 4 people in the front with the driver.

Hi,

I'm visiting Cambodia end of this month. The route I will be taking is Phnom Penh - by bus - Battambang - by boat - Siem Reap.

Can anyone advise me on how's the weather like in Cambodia currently? Tonle Sap water levels good enough to take the boat? 

Tonle Sap is deeper than any Malaysian river man. deepest in SEA.
and cambodia is dry. 'nuf said

Can I ask how's the weather around late July to early August? Lots of rain? 

raining season now....

this was yesterday. rain 1 hour already like that... rain continue for another 3 hour, whole town was flooded.



i am living in cambodia for the past 5 years already, some of the things people tell you here are over exaggerated but yes there are shitty times.

taxi is cheaper than tuk tuks for sure, they go on meters, all of them.

tuk tuk will chop you at every opportunity possible.

if in phnom penh can take taxi to the places of interest, not expensive and 24 hours.

some hotels are shitty and some are cheap and good, depend on which hotel you stay.

how many days will you be in phnom penh? if i am free might be able to bring you to some places to eat.

u work there or doing biz?

feel to go there have visit again..the pub girls sure pretty one

It's not Tonle Sap I'm worried about, but the Sangker river 

Very bad time to go...

banjir manyak during this period.

Cambodia has zero drainage infrastructure.

Sangker shouldn't be that deep. Cambodia is a dry country after all. Only Tonle Sap is something you should be afraid of.

This 22nd, I'll be in Phnom Penh setting up my new office. Anyone else in PP this time?

Wadafak, how I go jalan2 like that 
End of this month... nvm la, duwan bother you 
My only worry is that I won't be able to take the boat to Siem Reap from Battambang if the river water level is too low
Nope, I only go a few weeks later
