Cambodia

Siem Reap:

STAY: Mad Monkey (3 nights)

EAT: Pub Street

DO:
- Angkor Wat and Temple exploring (book at hostel)

- Sunrise at Angkor Wat (this is a must do!)

- Nights out on Pub Street; lots of clubs and bars to choose from.

TRANSPORT: We got the train from Bangkok to Siem Reap which is an experience I would recommend. 14 hours on a bench surrounded by chickens and gossiping locals. I would not recommend over a plane however but if you are the adventurous type, it's right up your street. Book a bus from here to your next destination.

TIPS: Unfortunately scams and pick pockets are very prominent in Cambodia. We were surrounded by children pretending to dance with us on pub street and I was left with no phone. Just exercise caution and keep valuables close.

Siem Reap:

STAY: Mad Monkey (3 nights)

DO:
- Killing Fields of Choeung Ek

- Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum

- National Museum of Cambodia

- Russian Market

TIPS: Learning about the history of Cambodia was one of the most heartbreaking and unforgettable experiences over the last 5 years. It will take you a while to really come to terms with what you learn, but it is very important you do in my opinion.

Sihanoukville:

STAY: Boho or The Big Easy (3 nights)

DO:
- Party!!!

- Massage on the beach

- Beauty/ threading on the beach

TIPS: Use this as a stepping stone to Koh Rong. The parties are quite cool along the beach. However there is a lot of corruption and it's not completely safe. Never walk anywhere alone and don't carry large amounts of cash with you.
