I'm really thinking of going down to play and relax..

no games going.

Just from reading this thread I know that there have been games at treasure island every night and you didn't go to treasure island in your search for games so I'm not sure how you can say that.

Im still looking for $ in Phnom Penh if anyone here needs money at FTP, Pokerstars, 888poker or partypoker. Minimum $500 trade.

Where are the games at in snooky now ?

I will try siem reap for there internet and if its **** find a new place. this week im just going to make sure im ready to leave. I use party poker, full tilt, 888 poker and stars and im cashing out all my money from those sites and will just re deposit when i arrive because i dont want to not be allowed to cash out.

They don't care if you will be grinding in a different country. But if you feel safer cashing out, don't do it with 888, as you will have to pay the conversion fees...

My Basic advice for anyone moving here:

- Bring as many $1 bills as humanly possible, its annoying as hell to have to always ask Tuk Tuk's for change on $10 - $20 bills as they mostly only have $2-$3

- Make sure you check all of your $100 notes prior to arriving, if any of them are ripped or not in great shape, get them changed out before hand. The majority of shops wont take a big note if it has any sort of rip/tear.

- Buy a decent portable USB stick prior to arriving, this allows for you only to buy the SIM card here saving you a ton of money, as the mark-up is quite huge on the sticks themselves

- Make sure you bring photocopies of you passport and relevant documents and carry them in your wallet. This is handy for checking in to guest houses and hotels as you never have to open your bags, flash cash etc

- Make sure you have USD ($35 min) prior to arrival as you will need to pay for your visa when you land, the ATM/conversion fees are insane if you don't.

- When booking guesthouses, don't overpay for ones that have a pool, most guest houses & boutique hotels allow you to use their pool for $5, saving you a ton of nightly charges.

- Always work out the price of a Tuk Tuk before getting in, this is a must as you are at their mercy when you try to get out, and good luck winning a khmer/local screaming match.

- If you ever need to change your money from Riel to USD, avoid the money changers and use the NagaWorld cage, they will make sure you get the correct money, and you can also ask for numerous denominations (i.e. $1s, $5 etc) where the majority of street money changers use bigger notes

- If you are a diet coke/sprite/soda fan, make sure you pay for the local diet, basically they have the imported cans ($1) and the local cans (.25c) they will always try to get you to buy the imported, but they are the same!

- Visa is king over here, if you can get your Master card switched over to Visa you will have a much better time. Some places take Master card, but its nowhere near as many as Visa.

I'm sure others have some other tips, but this is what I send to my friends visiting

Thanks, i have a vodafone and a telstra stick that i can bring but i did not know you can use other sims in them. I just heard on news australian refugees are now being deported to cambodia lol.

Hey,

is there still 1/2$ holdem games running in Nagaworld? I am thinking about staying there a few days to get a Thai visa, would you recommend? Also I absolutely need place with an internet connection good enough to grind, will NW do?

Nice post jsplit but I need more info on this... Never seen a can of coke for 1000 riel : What are these local cans? can u post a picture? ;o

really really nervous about travelling to Cambodia by myself. Im sure if it was a place like london or sumthing like that i would be masssively excited. but for most part im a little bit excited and alot of nervousness. like im more anxious than you average person for sure.

But like im usually nervous before something happens like i over think alot but once it happens. like before a fight im really nervous but once i step into the ring and actually start fighting it feels way better. And this is probly same as cambodia.

you're the new k2d

k2d?

My sister just got back from thailand and went to cambodia for a day for a boarder run. she said cambodia was very intimidating and it stunk and she hated it. she said people where harassing her for money. she also said that in thailand they dont remove the ethanol from the alchol or whatever and its like got amphetamines in it or something, she even said when you drink that alcohol you dont get tired after you been drinking at the club unlike Australia. She said she bought a bucket for 12$ and got lost that night and couldnt remember anything in the morning lol
