just head to serendipity road it is the tourist area and will be safe

all the hotels are the same, just test out the wifi and choose one that works, get a 3g stick as backup which will shockingly actually work well in a city that can't even keep the power turned on all the time

I recommend Zana House in Serendipity area. Much nicer than the other hotels in the area, only $13 a night.

thread needs more elephants <3



smart/metfone 3g was very reliable for me in all of the bigger city's (smart might be a touch better).
i got a opennet fiber connection in snooky for 69$ to save myself some headache and generally worked better then expected

Thanks Matt, wheres that pic from?

Hope i can get Opennet fiber in Otres

North of Sen Monorom, Mondulkiri.
there were 4 of them but i suck at taking pictures and was in awe the whole time^^

Otres would be my pick if I would come back to Sihanoukvile for 1 or 2 months but yeah, internet might be an issue (fiber unlikely i assume)

Is that a open park with elefanths? can u camp there? O just a tour?

Erm can anyone shed some light on this... I'm from UK and have been playing on stars.uk in Cambodia for the past few months (it's my permanent address so didn't feel the need to change it).. tried to log in the other day and was forced to download the normal Stars client.. when I logged in it now has my registered address as Vietnam?? I emailed them and they said I have been playing from Vietnam from the last few months and I told them I haven't even set foot there I'm in Cambodia and from the UK and I'm traveling so will be back there so want to continue playing under that address (failing that I would have just provided a utility bill from here in Cambodia but I got this back from stars:

Thank you for contacting PokerStars.

Due to jurisdictions requirements, you will not be able to play in Cambodia, and you will need to provide us with a clear copy of a recent utility bill clearly showing your full name, current address and statement date (no older than 3 months) with your UK address once you return to that country. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Luckily I can still log in and play, deposit & withdraw under this phantom Vietnam address but I'd be wary anyone wanting to move here to play online for a living... since when has Cambodia been on the list of countries you can't play on? Anyone have a link to this list.. not sure whether to follow up as I can still play as it stands.

it's not on the list of countries you can't play on, with dot.com client. but they don't really want you to play there long term with the dot.uk client, as the UK is a regulated market

Essentially they just gave you 9% extra rakeback or whatever it is, problem?

I arrived yesterday in snooky and found house. Ty to people that try to help me in this forum. But in the trip my laptop broked so i need to buy an very cheap used . Anyone?

i looked inside a pc store on monivong (in phnom penh) when my laptop was close to dying and the new machines (acer, etc) were competitively priced. however, the cheap machines didn't come with windows installed. my laptop ended up lasting so i never bought one there.

Ty lol69. I look around in the morning and i had to go open a bank account but then start to rain a little and in the afternoon i do nothing... I guess i try again tomorrow!!!

Where and how much was the house J?

Well of course it's a good thing that I can now play on .com. They didn't actually make that clear in the reply though, they just said I won't be able to play on Pokerstars till I return to the UK - was just bad wording on their behalf.

Downtown Snooky and i paid for a room with fridge, cable tv, internet and A/C in a long term rental (1 year) 110$ month + electricity

And i buy today a used laptop for 20$

Common problem here. When you are using some ( i dont know which one) internet providers in cambodia, you will get vietnamise IP. Cambodia is not banned, but in some location only with VPN you can get cambodian IP.

$20 lol stolen obs, u got free wifi from apartment?
I could def live in downtown i would like more Otres tho

Nice job. Now don't spend all the extra saved money on meth and ladyboy hookers. Good luck.

Yeah I thought it must be something like that, I just sent them a copy of my passport & latest internet bill and they changed it to Cambodia and I'm good to go on .com software so crisis averted, I would have been screwed if I couldn't have played here since I'm pretty broke now & Stars is my only source of income.

I think unless you absolutely hate the partying scene then Otres would be too boring, IMO it's better to live downtown and when you want to go relax at Otres just rent (or buy obv) a bike and go there. Not been too Snooky for 5 months now think I'm due a trip down there.

lol $20 laptop

Laptop still works!! It was not stolen, nobody wants that piece of crap !!

Today buying 13 big shrimps, cost 5 bucks ... Went to utopia for a drink and after lunch a swim in the beach!!
God, how i love kombo!!

I like to live in Snooky downtown rather than touristic area, i dont have patience to tourists, backpackers and young poker players that are superstars

Yeah, free wifi from apartment

Problems with HUD (PT4). I had enough of trying to fix and went for a swim at the beach. Also asked a guy who was there and also plays poker but he did not know ... And PS not accepted the letter from the landlord and the bank as proof of residence. ****ty day ...

I'm heading to pp tomorrow, I remember someone suggestion a hotel near the river king club but I can't find the post right now and rather not stay at nagaworld again. Does anyone remember which hotel it was?
