any suggestions for 2 month stay

Post by gim2 »

Hello all,
ive spent time in SE Asia but never in Cambodia. When Cambodia opens up again I plan on spending @2 months a year there every year. Any suggestions or advice on what would be a city or town to base myself in? I am looking for an area where I can ride a motorbike around an see the sites as well as a place with nightlife and friendly females. I don't speak the language so it can't be isolated but two months in noisy PP is not my idea of fun. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Well, seems like you like to plan things ahead of time....

Siem Reap is also nice place to stay, esp. in the cool season.

Everywhere in Cambodia is noisy. If you don't like noisy, go another country!

Kampot if you're cool with dreadlocks and pot smoke

Battambang if you're cool with old dudes (maybe even Russian old dudes) and cheap prices

in the hot season, go to Kampot... Take a ride up Bokor mountain and the temps drop 20-30 degrees as you approach the top. Also nice cool mist to drive through.....
