It may never beat Thailand for its beaches, but Cambodia does have its own beaches and some can be quiet and some busy, seafood and lazy days down on the Cambodian coast.
There are many guesthouses and restaurants down in Sihanoukville on the coast, all budgets catered for.
The Cambodian's do have a fun outlook and are easy to get on with.
Prices are great, beer draft from $0.50, cigarettes from $0.50, BBQ meal from $3.00!
Phnom Penh has lively nightlife, many bars and clubs.
Pool tables are always free!
Oh yeah!
I've never been in that region of the world, but have heard how economical it is to travel to Cambodia. I might have to bump Cambodia a little higher on my list!
Good idea, Cambodia is a good country to have on a list of places to visit.
How different is Cambodia from Vietnam, I mean besides the language? I would like to travel to Cambodia one day, unfortunately Vietnam is higher on the list at the moment..
Cambodia is quite different from Vietnam in many ways. The Cambodian are related to the Thais and so are similar. The Vietnamese are more like the Chinese, they are hard working and the cuisine similar as well. Vietnam is more modern than Cambodia, and there are of course many places to visit in Vietnam as it is a bigger country. Vietnam is a great place really.
