Cambodia
One Week Cambodia Itinerary: The Best You Can Get
Last Updated August, 2020
I definitely got a certain type of attitude towards Cambodia. This country shocked me so much that I felt almost depressed when leaving it after one month stay there. Part of the reason was about all scams and lies Mark and I experienced from locals, another part included loads and piles of trash (I swear, I have never seen so much garbage in just one place,) corruption and some type of chaos.
I guess our mistake was not to think in advance what places to visit in Cambodia and choose “local” life over touristy things. But at the same time, it provided us with an excellent opportunity to see Cambodia in a way that many tourists never get to see.
Honestly, if I never visited this Southeast Asia country, there wouldn’t be much to lose. I don’t imply you should skip Cambodia, no and absolutely not. I know, when your curious mind is eager to tick off one more country on your list, nothing will change this intention anyways. Yet, I believe this is not a destination for a long-time journey. One week is more than enough unless you are coming to spend time just at the hotel or take it very slowly.
So, here is my one week Cambodia itinerary that includes only the best (to me) attractions and sightseeing. In the end, I’ll also mention where I don’t recommend to travel and why. In fact, this itinerary is good not only for those who are spending one week in Cambodia, but you can also easily turn it into two weeks. Just spend more time in each place...

Re: Another Blogger Has a Terrible Time in Cambodia
Pretty boring really.
Eastern part of the country – this part of the country is the least developed one and has the biggest amount of explosive submunitions dropped by the U.S. during the Vietnam war. Most of them are found in eastern and northeastern areas bordering Laos and Vietnam. It will take a long time to deactivate those landmines. Do not go to the Eastern part of Cambodia by yourself, you’ll need to have a guide.
Such fucking bullshit.Statistically, every year level of life and economic development in Cambodia actually goes down. Even tourist landmarks are not taken care of. If you visit Angkor Wat, you spend $50-$100 for the entrance ticket alone
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Yes well, the point is that it's all total BS. That's why it's posted in the Ass/Stupid post forum.
I am easily amused. I thought some other people here might find it funny.

Worth bearing in mind that in their other article these assholes have a go at a guy whose legs have been blown off, for being a passenger in a Lexus after selling them a book.

Yes I for one agree, I must of got lost somehow in this terrible place.
Quote from above - Part of the reason was about all scams and lies Mark and I experienced from locals, another part included loads and piles of trash (I swear, I have never seen so much garbage in just one place,) corruption and some type of chaos.
Scams and lies from locals - question here, any views on this? My view (because it does happen from time to time) we may perceive them in our culture to be blatant outright lies, but it may to them be a soft approach to say whatever, rather than saying "we no have as a last resort". Lately I can add my shopping trips for certain items have caused me more results in a headache.
Street garbage - Yes, in the big city, it don't half pong too, when I ride past the many working garbage trucks in the evening, I have to pinch my nose. But what she is missing the garbage is charity foods for the many street animals.
We all have our views and values of what's written, and like blogs and travel articles, we read them, most are a personal view of someones perception and may hold truth or example, sometimes they may help or hinder.
