The day after tomorrow or Wed, my friend and I will head out to Bang Melea early in a taxi. We'd be happy to split the cost with one or 2 other people. I'm guessing it's 30 to 40 $ total. I'll check this email tomorrow night to see if there's any interest.
Or drop a note at our hotel, which is My Home at #142, St. Psar Krom--for Doug or Karin.

If you're heading to Cambodia around early December, be sure to check out Cambodia's only international, indie film festival, CAMBOFEST, now in its 3rd year - CamboFest features new movies from around the world (including Cambodia, of course)
This year's CamboFest takes place along Cambodia's south coast in Kampot (close to Kep and Sihanoukville), from December 4-6, and will be held in a vintage Cambodian movie house which is being revived especially for CamboFest.

Hello all,
Has anyone done this trip recently? because i am planning to do it now in December my problem is that i have a plane to catch in Bangkok at 18 and i'm not sure how much time does it takes to get to Bangkok from Siem Reap, does anyone knows the bus schedules ? Is it possible to get a Bus in the morning and get in Bangkok in mid afternoon?
I have read that the road is much better now than it used to be, but i am not sure if doing it in one day or get out the night before.
Thank you

I'm moving from China into Laos in mid December, and I have a bunch of warm clothes - coat, gloves, thick warm sleeping bag and so on.
I'm planning on being in Laos / Cambodia / Thailand till mid February, and want to do some trekking and camping out.
Will I be needing any warm gear, or can I send it home before entering Laos?
Would a small thin sleeping bag be enough for camping?

On my way out of Phenom Penh I am planning to pick up some local Cambodian films. I've heard that they specialize in horror films (and that when they plan in the theaters the director sends in actors wearing costumes to run through the aisles screaming and scaring people). Is this so? Can anyone suggest some classic Cambodian horror films, and films from other genres?

Hello
We have found ourselves with 2 weeks in Cambodia, starting in PP and a flight out of Siem Reap. Any ideas how we can fill the 2 weeks? We're backpacking with a small budget. We'll obviously do the temples and killing fields but don't think that will take 2 weeks.
Thanks

Good news for frequent Philippines-Cambo commuters like myself: Cebu Pac to (probably) launch direct MNL-PNH flights early next year. Story here

Hi there - sorry if this has been asked before but I have looked......
I have read somewhere that you can get your Vietnam Visa in Sihanoukville in a day - is this right? We're planning to go to Phu Quoc from there, and it would be very handy if you can.....if not I'll crack on and sort it out before I go .Thanks all.

Hi. I'm looking for accommodation in Phnom Penh for July and August 2010. I would like to have a single room with an own bathroom. Wireless internet access is a must-have. Price per night can be up to €20 (US-$30). The hotel should be situated between 'Blvd Samdach Preah Sihanouk' and 'Blvd Mao Tse Toung', or at least in walking distance to the 'Olympic Stadium' or the 'Royal Palace'. Thanks for your support.

I’m planning on travelling round Mekong region for 2 months (Dec & Jan) & was planning on travelling from Mekong Delta & Phu Quoc into Kep/Kampot to see Bokor Hill Station and the great views, but have read it’s shut completely at the moment.
Anyone know when it’s likely to open up again and whether it will still have the rustic charm or just a massive commercial construction site?
If not is worth skipping Kep/ Kampot altogether (I’m not sure near the end of my trip I’ll still be able to handle more caves with temples inside like Phnom Sorsia & Chnork) and just going to Sihanoukville?
Thanks in advance.
