In reply to Anthony M. Yup, Heart of Darkness. I'd love to live in Phnom Penh for a bit some day, and my love affair with the city continues. Have you read my more recent posts? You might enjoy!

What was the nightclub that the embassy warned about? Heart of darkness? I’ve been in PP for 10 days (intended on only a few days) and I’m honestly thinking about getting an apartment for a month, this city is rad! I’m blown away by the backpackers that are in and out of my hostel (one stop hostel on the waterfront, really recommended) like a revolving door, “doing” the killing fields and then moving on a day later. Maybe the city is dirty and smells funny, but there is so much charm that I haven’t really seen anywhere else!

Think you’ll ever make it back to live here for a bit?

In reply to Gemma. Glad you had a good time :) The Flicks is one of my favorite things about Phnom Penh. Wish they had one everywhere I went!

Hi Alex,

We took you up on your advice when we visited PP as you can see here:

I wasn’t very good at skating. I recommend Flicks cinema to anyone going to PP though, beds and free hand booze!

In reply to Our Dear Lady Expatriate. Oh my gosh. Its amazing. The first time I went to Phnom Penh my Dad and I stood for ages looking at the view and watching the kids skate. And when I returned later with my then-boyfriend we could not wait to get out there ourselves, much to the amusement of the kiddos!

WOW! I definitely absolutely no-doubt will be bringing my buddies there as soon as humanly possible! Looks like an absolute riot 🙂

So glad you posted about this… just in case I didn’t make it all the way through Sorya!

[…] surprise as we walked right into a night carnival! Funnily I recognized a lot of the games from the Water Festival in Phnom Penh. We had a great time walking around the carnival, snacking on street food and making the most out […]

In reply to Fidel. I think that with so many people flooding in from every corner of the country there is just a higher chance of "riff raff" being around. We were told that opportunists follow their marks when they head back to hotels out of the main tourist area and relieve them of their belongings at that time! Unfortunately, the tuk tuk drivers can sometimes be in on it as well, driving you to a location where they know someone is waiting.
