Hello everyone, this is my first post here. My visit to Cambodia 13 years ago has many happy memories. I now live in Isaan, Thailand, happily married to Thai wife for 10 years. My nephew in Oz has a Cambodian wife, Eurasian kids, they are coming to Angkhor 1st week December, then we will go on to PP.
My first question is what currency should I load my ANZ travel card up with. Are US dollars the preferred currency still?

The second question is about a whore I met in Walkabout, let's not mince words, she was a whore, I was a trick, a willing punter. She was profoundly deaf, consequently dumb but we communicated with mime. It was funny and imaginative, and the sex was brilliant. She would be mid 40s now, I don't want sex or romance with her now but I know I will think about her every minute I am in PP. Perhaps somebody in Sharkys remembers her.

I read that PP has cleaned up its act, Walkabout has gone. I'm looking forward to my visit. See you in Sharkys.

Sharky's is a mere shadow of itself from even 5 years ago

you will NOT find hardly anything the same after 13 years, ( except the tonle sap still flow, an reverses itself every year)

Angkor will be very crowded when u visit, an dont forget its $37/day now

Everything has changed in 13 years. Cambodia is changing so fast. Don't expect anything to be the same as before.
Enjoy your stay, but don't hang on to the nostalgia of your last visit.

Sharky’s bar will be closed for a make over until early December at least so you probably should have a back up plan of where to drink and reminisce. There was a couple of deaf girls around. Personally haven’t seen them lately.

Thanks guys. Yes 13 years is a long time and I had read that PP was cleaning up its image. Walkabout was my waterhole then and a lot of dangerous characters about. I'll have no time for a trip to Sihanookville(?) so looks like best behaviour. There are plenty of ATMs I trust, carrying wads of cash ($US I assume) could ask for trouble.
If Flipper is the woman I'm talking about, and you know her, please tell her I wish for her the same happiness I enjoy with my Thai family and thankyou for the fond memories.

Yes, the streets around the riverside have been cleaned up by replacing non-descript shophouses with about 150 hooker bars.

yes USD is the main currency and what the ATMs discharge so id load it up with them

Its not like before OP, that old school "anything can happen " vibe isn't there anymore and its replaces by a demand in higher prices, more expensive bar fines, less happy locals.....

Just goto hostess bars with a happy hour to drink until pontoon opens.

But the jack Daniel cokes we're near 5USD a drink, not like before when they we're like 2 dollars......
