The Cambodian capital Phnom Pehn is typical buzzing city in asia, with a lot to do and experience. The city is centered around the intersection of the 3 rivers Mekong, Bassac and Tonlé Sap. Of course Phnom Pehn is similar to other Asian cities, but even though it’s small compared to e.g. Bangkok and Yangon you find some of the same dynamics as you find in Bangkok. The city has it’s old parts with traditional markets and small houses, but Phnom Pehn is experiencing development and a lot of new buildings has been or are under construction, just like the 2 mentioned before. In my opinion you can easily spend…

Banlung is a small dusty town in the north-east of Cambocia, close to both the border to Laos and Vietnam. To get to Banlung you’ll need to take either a minivan or a taxi. I chose the minivan from Stung Treng, but you find minivans for Banlung in both Kratie and Phnom Phem. Banlung is not equipped with large cultural heritage, but the nature will provide some delightful experiences. To go there I will recommend to hire either a car or a tuktuk, though the nearest sights can be reached on bike. To hire a tuktuk with a guide, I would go to the corner of 64st and 27st (close…

Kep is both a municipal and a province on the south coast of Cambodia close to the Vietnamese border – my phone went to Vietnamese networks on several occasions while we stayed there. To go to Kep you can get a mini van from Phnom Pehn, and 4 hours later your in Kep. Our trip with a mini van were nice, the van was not new but most features seemed to be working – OK the air-con stopped after a couple of hours, but it wasn’t that hot – we were only 3 passengers being picked up in the city. A fourth passenger were picked up around the air-port, but…

When you are traveling in Cambodia this temple seems to be quite of the straight road to anywhere. To be honest it is a bit remote. But bear in mind that the temple is appointed as UNESCO world heritage, so it has a major place in history for the area, so in my humble opinion it’s worth some effort to go there. To get there we got on board a mini-van in Siem Reap, going towards Stung Treng. Were National Highway 64 meets National Road 62 you find a group of house – it might qualify to be called a village. The mini-van stopped for a break and the driver…

A sleepy province and town were the rivers Mekong and Sekong meets. The main event in and around town seems to be the Mekong river and the Irrawaddy Dolphins living near the border towards Laos. We hired a boat and sailed 3.5 hours north in hope to spot some of the dolphins. We did actually got at glimpse of a few dolphins when they emerged to breathe, not enough to get a relevant photo. When we were there we went to the waterfalls that apparently separates the Mekong in two, as fish or boats are not able to pass the falls. Within town the Women’s Development project Mekong Blue is…

As I expected the weather in Denmark to be bloody awful in January I opted out for that month at home. In 2017 January were spent in The Kingdom of Cambodia. On the pages in this section you’ll find photos and experiences from my visit in Cambodia. I find Cambodia very similar to Myanmar, of course there are differences between the two. But as a traveller it can be tricky to tell the difference – likewise I would Some of the differences that I have found Religion Traffic and infrastructure Climate Smiles Recent history In both countries the major religion is Buddhism, in Myanmar many people visits the temple every…
