Re: Farewell to an Era: Phnom Penh International Airport Set to Shut Down to Make Way for New Airport Next Year
It often takes me almost an hour to get from the airport to Riverside. Especially if I arrive on Saturdays, the traffic on Russkie Road into the city is often really bad. In the other direction, on the other hand, it usually takes me slightly less than 30 minutes. So getting to the airport to fly ou...

Re: Google Pay or Apple Pay payment method in PP?
