Snookie Sucks... so far

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

You should have asked on here for recommendations mate. I don't think any of us who live here would have recommended Victory Hill, its a fukn shithole to be blunt about it. Good only for picking up a chick and then getting out asap!

I know anywhere is 'what you make of it'. I don't meant to be unduly harsh on Sihanoukville, but yeah... live and learn. It's my first time to Snookie and I wanted to check out some of the condo developments (a huge "No!"); so, for convenience sake, decided to stay on the 'Hill' for two weeks. I only have 8 more days here and will move to Otres for four weeks, then on to Kampot for two weeks and finish my vacation with three weeks on Phu Quoc.

Currently nasty weather - torrential rain and winds gusting to 70 knots - there's no fuckin' water from the taps... but, I can always bathe in what's flooding into the living room from the balcony... LOL.

Note to self - be careful with electricity.
:bow:
You could be next.

Why prepay for a room during low season?
Should have just moved to another hotel when you first walked in to the dirty room.
Since you are sticking with the place for some unknown reason, at least write some reviews on the booking site and tripadvisor.

Photocopy of your passport. A lot of small or mid-range places ask you to pay the first night on arrival, and then generally you pay as you go, every couple of days or once a week, or even when you leave.
If you have a regular place to stay, then they know you, so you don't even need a passport or ID - this is Jamie's case I suppose. There is a lot more trust than some people seem to think - everyone is not out to rip you off - and that goes both ways. O:-)
Guesthouses, you usually pay when you leave, but they will have your passport copied. Mind you, that doesn't stop some people obviously.

During holiday season, or because you want a particular room kept for you, or because you can negotiate a discount for cash upfront are good reasons to prepay. But paying for a room in advance sight unseen can lead to bad surprises. Why should they make an effort since you've already paid ?

congrigate a mixture of concrete and aggregate :?
