Booking.com now lists a lot of private apartment and AirBnB type places.

Re: The Inevitable and forthcoming Lock-Down

anyone knows of any loophole that can be exploited or has any advice on how to best deal with a potential lockdown in phnom penh? Again, finding ways to get around laws is not condoned here.

Does anyone play Cribbage in Cambodia?

I’m an avid cribbage player. I even carve my own boards. Are there are any regular games or clubs there for playing cribbage? Do the locals know what cribbage is? Maybe they were taught during the war but I don’t know. I’m sure they have their own card games.

Best have a credit card as backup in case you lose your card. I don't use credit cards and how would I even get the monthly bi...
