Re: PP to DMK flights

I often use AirAsia to DMK, no problems and cheap with no checked luggage. If you need to sleep close to the airport for an early flight I've regularly stayed here https://www.donmuanghotel.com/ It's walkable from the airport (use the walkway bridge to the Amari) and sites like Expedia have it aroun...

Re: Cambodia: Asia’s New Fraud Capital

I am very dubious about claims of loss of large sums of money, often thousands of dollars, by anyone. Who carries such sums? They must be either very, very wealthy or very, very stupid! Regarding locals rather than foreigners, 10 years ago only about 10% of Cambodians had bank accounts. Large payme...

Re: Pallets for Sale

Plastic or wood, new or used? There are a few places around here https://maps.app.goo.gl/4nHsLeYm9SXsimST9 Wood and used. That place looks perfect. Any idea as to cost?
