Discovery Cambodia Part V : Accommodation

Amazingly, we have a chance to stay at all the three places of the same hotel group in Phnom Penh and Seam Reap. They are Frangipani 60's, Frangipani 90's and Frangipani Villa.

Here is it.

Breakfast at Frangipani Villa, Seam Reap.

The hotels are centrally located, so fairly easy and fast to go places with tuk-tuk. Rooms are clean, nice smelling. Staffs are friendly and very helpful. Basically, my bus tickets to and fro Phnom Penh/Seam Reap, pick-ups at stations and last minute reservations were arranged by them. Thank you. Besides breakfast, each guest is entitled to a free laundry of one trouser/skirt and shirt per day. Save me a lot of trouble. :)

Discovery Cambodia Part IV : On the street & beyond

Believe it or not, I had bought a pack (usd1.00 plus) of mixed deep-fried insects as titbit during my ride to Seam Reap. Oh. Sedap! Even the other passengers, a young couples from London and a germany guy, dared to give it a try.

I kind of like to explore the back lanes that are hidden behind those hip, pricey boutiques on the main streets, where the locals live.







This bowl of instant noodle costs 2500 riel (abt 60 cents in usd). Nice & cheap.


This definitely not for me. I don't even want to try. Looks yucky & slimy.
This is my favourite store for a plate of MeeHar (Mee as in mee siam, Har as in cantonese 蝦)- fried noodle with veges & pork/beef. Yummy yummy!!! Costs only 6000 riel (usd1.50) per plate, and with free wheat tea.

Discovery Cambodia Part III : Phnom Penh City Tour

Places covered : Choeung Ek Memorial, Toul Sleng Genocide Museum, Independence Monument, National Museum, Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda and Wat Phnom.

Choeung Ek Memorial aka the killing field, is the site of the brutal executions of more than 17,000 men, women and children, most of whom had suffered thru interrogation, tortune and deprivation in the S-21 Prison.

Previously a high school, Toul Sleng was converted into S-21 prison & interrogation facility when the Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975. Inmates held in the compound were systematically tortuned, and brutally executed at the killing field.
