Re: Kep?

I wouldn't bother - we went down last year...did the crab market, walked along the beach...GF took a few selfies, then we hit the road back to PP. We didn't find anything of interest...unless you like quiet beaches. There doesn't seem to be any focal point or town centre that tourist infrastructure ...

Re: CryptoCurrency Trading - Anyone doing this?

I've been using the Copay wallet and the Jaxx wallet - both of which are apps for your phone. Both seem to work well, are easy to use and free. The Jaxx wallet has the advantage that it has "Shape Shift" technology included which lets you add Bitcoin to the wallet, then convert it into man...

Re: Where can I buy Bitcoin in Phnom Penh, Cambodia?

I just started buying some crypto as well but I'm in Europe at the moment. If you have a bank account back in your home country can't you just wire transfer funds from that account to one of the big exchanges? Once you buy the bitcoin, you can download it to a wallet on your phone or laptop anywhere...

Re: Exploring Cambodia and the Rest of South East Asia on a Cruise Ship (LA Times)

My Dad does these - they sound absolutely awful. You are at the mercy of the cruise company who sell you outrageously-priced "day trips" at each destination. There is no opportunity to go "off-piste" and no time to really see anything interesting. I asked my Dad about his memorie...

Re: High season Cambodia, Thailand, etc.

Currently the UK Pound is very weak, so that is also another consideration, and ATM fees, and Card fees back home is another thing. Try getting a Revolut card - it removes a lot of the cost of using bank cards abroad and exchanging money - you will still get stung for the local ATM fees (which are ...
