Phuket Richard sounds like a thaivisa member.phuketrichard wrote:ok;
1. ur up against TA. advisories, all Cambodian based forums;
websites that have tons of info on Cambodia, travel guides ( lonely planet.rough guides both online and in book form)
not to mention all the free publications that one can get in Cambodia
2. Will ur guides just wait around for a call? everyone need to work so they will not be available on the spot so to speak.
today's traveler, via his smart phone, can get instant info. ( new google trips) he also does more research BEFORE he arrives thna those of us that started to travel decades ago ( why? cause he can an for us there was nothing). Fuck even i now do research before heading out to places in Burma off the beaten track ( an still hardly any info)
3. A local Cambodian travel guide that speaks good English... nope . Maybe for Angkor, but there already guides there
A Barang... maybe would do it for a friend in town but a stranger.... not unless he is getting paid more than his teaching job.
4. if u were offering something that is not available elsewhere by other media,,,, great idea but.....
5. You have not even been to Cambodia an see what ur up against> who does a business plan without being on the ground?
Hotdigr, get off my ass, i know as much, if not more about ALL of Cambodia than you, I first went there in 1988, How many KR have u ever met or had a meal with?
and traveled there frequently since than
lived there 2008/09
been back at least 2 x /year and i don't just hang out in shv ( u may like it but...) I have seen more of the country than u in ur dreams.
get over it, I have my opinions, ( one of which Thailand, FOR ME and many others, is far better than Cambodia) you yours
live with it.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

If you all have any questions, I'd be glad to help out. I'd say the biggest change in Phnom Penh is the onslaught of building activity. You better hurry up if you want to catch the feel of yesteryears Thailand, cause this town will be looking like a mini version of modern day Bangkok/Saigon in less than a few.
Thanks for the interest! You will hear from me soon

Man! That second video is creepy. WTF?
They may as well build a hovering Elysium, as it would be just as alien as that. If Aeon Mall is having to go downmarket to survive, how the heck can fantasy island succeed?
Of course the question is moot if the purpose is really to launder money and feed more loot to the corrupt classes.

Re: Who's in for this *unique* travel guiding idea?
There is money in travel. I have just been on the website of a Kiwi woman who does escorted tours for women, six people at around $8000 each for 13 days! They stay in pretty good hotels but we know how cheap hotels are, these rooms would not be more than $120 a night. There are a few free cocktails and spas and a cooking class but otherwise the clients pay for meals.
And they drive from Siem Riep to Battambong, to Phnom Penh, to Kep and back to Phnom Penh. That's a lot of time on the road but her web site makes it sound like jolly good fun. Who wouldn't want to visit the museum of the russian market on a hot April afternoon? And of course Friends are on the menu, those delightful little brown kids are so cuddly.
When you add up her costs compared to the gross she must be absolutely coining it. Say $200 a day each for everything times eight times thirteen makes about twenty K and her gross is forty eight K. Four trips a year at full capacity and you have a hundred K profit.
