Living in Cambodia and turning Pro - Page 382

Thanks for the input boys. Going to take the advice and get up super early to beat the crowds. Won't be a problem cause I'm still jet lagged and waking up in middle of night anyway.

Should I just hire a guide from the hotel for the day and what is a reasonable price for one? I read a guys travel blog and he was promoting a service that was 65 pounds seemed way high but if that's going rate whatever - basically a driver, entry fees and some water would be all I'd want.

Or if a guide is spew I'll just do it myself

Any local dishes I must eat? ... I'll eat anything in Thailand except street food that's iffy safety wise. Spicy is fine.

I imagine by guide they mean someone who will wake you around and give you a bunch of information about everything which I imagine would be pretty annoying and severely distract from the experience. Just hire a Tuk Tuk driver for the day who will just drop you off at each temple and wait for you finish then take you to the next one.

Really glad I came here this wknd. Angkor Wat is incredible - arrived at 6am and it was crowded by 730 loved it.

Really like khmer food ... nice change after eating a week of super spicy thai. Spices more subtle. French influence? And how can you go wrong with 50 cent draft!

People here broke as F even by SE Asia standards eye opening for sure. Everybody is hustling to make a buck can't hate.

I follow george leeman on youtube, famous powerlifter. He just decided to say screw the 9 to 5 and move to Cambo and is posting a bunch of videos on it, worth a follow.

Was just discussing this with someone. That whole relationship is such a trainwreck.

It's sad for Cambodia few month ago and was already disappointed by the beaches in Sihanoukeville. I tried Otres - it's nice but have seen nicer place both in Vietnam and Thailand. To learn that the beach is already threaten by construction projects and that it's supposed to be the best beach in Cambodia is not a great new for the country

In other news after crossing several times the boarder between Cambodia and Vietnam I always had the feeling that the casinos were looking dodgy . It seems to be confirmed: http://somuchpoker.com/horror-storie...s-in-cambodia/

Still, I would feel better if I didn't have to worry about an Eli Roth torture porn movie possibly going on in the next hotel room.
