Bangkok vs Phnom Penh
Bangkok vs Phnom Penh
Pros and cons. What's different about the two? I would like to hear how they compare to each other.
The food, the people, parks, traffic, pollution, nightlife, etc.

Re: Bangkok vs Phnom Penh
Food: Bangkok: +5 Phnom Penh: -20
People: Bangkok: complete assholes Phnom Penh: utter nutters
Parks: Bangkok: have Phnom Penh: no have
Traffic: Bangkok: crazy Phnom Penh: reckless, respectless and lethal
Nightlife: Bangkok: boring Phnom Penh: (next Zombie movie will be shot in Phnom Penh. The fact that they will not need any makeup artists makes the entire production about 50 % cheaper)

Re: Bangkok vs Phnom Penh
You can't really compare Bangkok and Phnom Penh, they're just far too different...years apart, and I hope PP never becomes anything like Bangkok.
Re: Bangkok vs Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh is a better city than Bangkok, but it is steadily becoming more and more like Bangkok, so it may turn into an even worse city within 5-10 years. A direct comparison might even score Bangkok with more points, but that is because there are certain traits of Phnom Penh that can't be quantified. For example, healthcare: Bangkok better, nightlife: Bangkok again, schools: certainly Bangkok, public transportation: obviously Bangkok, Thai food definitely beats Khmer food, so bangkok once more, but there is a quality of life in Phnom Penh that the rat race that is Bangkok doesn't have. Having said that, Hanoi beats both.

Re: Bangkok vs Phnom Penh
Apples and oranges. PP cannot be compared to BKK. Chiang Mai maybe. I used to love Bangkok. Every year I like BKK a little less and enjoy PP a little more. SGN is somewhere in between.

So true ! That's why my Thai is much better than my Khmer although I've been here so much longer.prahkeitouj wrote:In Phnom Penh many people happy to speak English, but in Bangkok No one speaks English to me

Re: Bangkok vs Phnom Penh
if i had to live in one over the other id choose PP, bangkok is just far too big and busy for me the traffic is a complete nightmare! i wouldnt say the nightlife is better in BKK, it costs a bomb to go out drinking in BKK, and the pollution is terrible also and the place stinks, PP is far from the best city in the world either i think its a bit of a shit hole too tbh, the food in Thailand is by far superior street/restaurant with a lot better choice, but the atmosphere in PP i find better than the rat race in BKK
