PO is on Corner St 13 and 102, but the parcel collection office is on the St 102 side building so don't go in the main front entrance.
Thanks again! :-)

Postscript (...no pun intended?) :

Yesterday the Cambodia Post Office *delivered* my package. I didn't even have to go and wait in line for it, much less pay extra.

Dangerous Dave should invest in a local SIM card. Why would you not have a phone?

Unusual but not unheard of. You are lucky they didn't pinch it though.

I love, love, *love* not having a phone. Or a car. Or a house. The tiny-house movement, except generalized. Never been happier in my dumb life.

You can have letters delivered to your address if you ask at the post office. they use local couriers though so not terribly reliable and they don't like climbing stairs so they will give it to any random bloke who happens to be standing near your entrance. I caught the DHL guy doin the same with some urgent papers from home and went ballistic. Now I always go to DHL and collect
