Off topic but is it just me or does the Donald look like a really tall midget.

Well, you've covered nearly every requirement to join "The League of Extraordinarily Naive Travelers" and you did it all within a week. I'm surprised you didn't make the palace trip with StroppyChops visiting family.
First time abroad, old boy?

Re: Been here a week. What an overpriced shithole.
Yes... Cambodia is way overpriced...
--- A typical day......
$2.50 bacon and egg breakfast at western style place
$1.5 Lok Lak beef and rice for lunch street side
$1.5 chicken thigh and rice off street vendor.
$1 pack of cigarettes.
50 cent beers in the evening,,,,
and the total.... less than $8 for the day
OMG... So expensive... I could have saved a dollar if I was in Vietnam !!

Water quenches the thirst, alcohol releases the truth.

Back in December, while in Siem Reap, I picked up a pack of ciggies from a little shop for 50 cents. It was like being transported back to the seventies.

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

Must be Phuket pricing. In Bangkok and Pattaya, Marlboros are 145 baht -- unless they raised the price yet again since I left week ago. My Mild 7 brand is 150 baht. In VN, my same brand is 32 baht/$1 from a carton -- one-fifth the price of Thailand.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 9:54 amFYI: i dont smoke, but yesterday looked at the price of cigs in 7/11 "Marlboro's " 165 baht!!!!

Looks like a good black market smuggling business opportunity for someone.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
