Re: Cambodia: Asia’s New Fraud Capital

I’ve always been curious about those $5 massage parlors, but I’ve never gone into one.
I’d love to hear a review from someone who went with $5, instead of a few thousand.

Re: Yes, Thailand, you will be able to smoke potent weed at home

You go into the dispensary, look at the bud under the microscope and light and it looks amazing, but it only looks amazing re: THC crystals, it's just smoke and mirrors. It's unscrupulous. The flavour and high is lacking, severely. I’ve been saying exactly the same thing about the weed in Canada, s...

Re: cambodia - vietnam - cambodia

I took that boat from Phnom Penh a few years ago, but there were only 4 passengers, so they kicked us off the boat at Chau Doc and paid for our bus ride to HCMC. Is it possible to take the boat all the way to HCMC? I seem to remember that it was supposed to go as far as Can Tho, and then I would hav...

Re: Westerners spend twice as much time on beaches than at Angkor

Sure, just go to Malaga if you want sun and sand. You do you. I’m doing me, that’s why I’m in Cambodia, but a lot of people ask me why I choose Cambodia when I could just go to Mexico, and the reasons I give them don’t seem to be very convincing to people who are just looking to get away for two we...

Re: Westerners spend twice as much time on beaches than at Angkor

Tourism in Cambodia, and other countries in the region, boomed because they were cheap, adventurous places to go, where people could get away with partying in ways that they couldn’t at home. It’s not that cheap anymore, it’s much less exotic than it used to be, and the party has died down substanti...

It's Scandinavian neighbours predictably came in next best, with Switz and Israel (stats over 3 years and they avoided some atrosities. They won't be so lucky next ye...

Re: Khmer foreigner rating system — it's riel

Right from the start, I could sense that the purpose of this thread was to make it known that most of us are losers, who are hated by the locals.

Re: Tourist Traps

I don't think that double pricing is a quality of tourist traps. Classic examples would be vendors anywhere who have the sole concession at historical sites. But the preeminent tourist traps nowadays are the f&b concessions in airports. Lonely Planeteers may prefer the term 'traveller traps' as...
