7c Long Nget St. (258), Phnom Penh 12200, Cambodia

Hotel is overall okay. Location is pretty good. Staff is great, very friendly. Breakfast was delicious - lots of options. Pool is lovely with great views. However, sound proofing is not good...you can hear the street. The hotel also seems to not be all finished... Some random noises coming from random places.

Rooms are lovely and roof top pool is so nice only beds tho no proper sunbeds which would be nicer. Good food too but they plus loads of charges on the food services charge 5% and 10% fee as well for everything which adds up and makes it all rather expensive. Staff are lovely.

The location of this was very good and also the view from the rooftop!
However the hotel seemed like it wasn‘t finished. For example was the stairway made of concrete and dirty. They also saved money on the windows in the room. They just looked shabby.
Also was the breakfast very limited and not fresh. The pool on the rooftop was as I’ve mentioned very beautiful but there were not enough sitting options. There were only a few matts on the floor and the staff told me that they ran out of towels and that I would have to wait 3 hours to get new ones. I feel like they ran out of money building the hotel.

A well-known tourist place in the center of Cambodia - Phnom Penh Night Market.
This night market is located near the river side. There are many vendors selling clothing, accessories, and souvenirs in almost all styles.
You can even find some "famous" products like the pictures I posted😄

There is a small square in the center of the night market with a stage area, which seems to be used for street performers.
When we visited here on Thursday night, we saw some local performers was singing🎤 The whole atmosphere was very chill~

However, compared to night markets in other countries, there were fewer food vendors here, and the food vendors were all close to the innermost area, actually it’s not easy to be found.
What is very special is that their eating and seating areas are all laid out on the floor, let people to sit directly on the floor.
It's quite a special experience.

Overall, it’s not a bad experience here. But also not very special.

Not really for tourists who want to shop. Local food can be found here but not souvenirs. Only 2-3 stalls have souvenirs and the rest have counterfeit/Class A items.

Very local! 1/4 of the place is for foods and the rest is for clothes, accessories and others. All of the stalls almost serve the same dishes and you have an option to eat on the carpet or table.. they have Thai, Vietnamese and Cambodian cuisines.. a bit pricey for some food selection like the fishballs on stick or the sausages.. there is also a Kebab/Shawarma place 15ft away from the stage, you might want to try that because it was realllyyy good! 👍🏽

Phnom Penh Night Market

Samdach Sothearos Blvd (3), Phnom Penh, Cambodia

This complex was built in 1866, a few years into the establishment of the state of French Indochina. While it is a good intro into some of the history of Cambodia throughout the centuries and the role the monarchy has played in it, I felt a bit disappointed with how little of the palace you actually get to see. There’s no access to buildings other than shrines and temples, everything else can only be seen from the outside. It is still wonderful to look at but for the price tag $10 a head + $10 for a tour guide (who was lovely and spoke good English) it felt a little short.

This magnificent palace is placed at the heart of the city and by the river side walk. It has big open grassed field in front of it where local people have their family time in the afternoon. Food, toy and souvenir hawkers are there to meet your different needs. Amazon cafe is just around the corner as well.

I am not much fond of history so i did not get inside but surely you can, just remember you need to cover your body properly and also the timing (open & close hours).

Lovely place. Grab a coffee, relax on the grass and see local life…

In my opinion, the $10 entrance fee is a bit high. I would value it closer to $5. Overall, the attraction is interesting, with some nice buildings inside, but some are still under construction. It took me no more than 30 minutes to see everything. It’s have break from 12:00 to 14:00.

You can get local goods, souvenirs, tools and even alterations. It’s stuffy inside so you better visit earlier or late in the afternoon. Sellers are friendly and nice. You can haggle if you want and surely they will give you minimum 20%discount.

A all in one place for shopping for souvenirs, bags, clothes, sports shoes, hardware materials, aromatherapy oils, etc. Street food is plentiful. There are also fresh groceries within and outside the market.

Loved that shopkeepers are not pushy and are comfortable in their stalls. Not too cramped nor crowded. Prices are negotiable and QR code payments aside from cash are now available.

Probably one of the better markets in the sense that it has everything from food to souvenirs to stationery, groceries, household items, clothing, accessories, fake bags, purses etc.  All sections are pretty well organised with similar items grouped together in the same section.

A former high school transformed into a torture and interrogation centre during the short lived yet hellish years of the Khmer Rouge. One thing I quickly realised was that I should have got the audio guide for this museum - it certainly makes the experience a lot more cohesive than without. All in all it’s a must see in Phnom Penh, a piece of tragic and frighteningly recent history. It’s a shame the museum doesn’t have better conditions, it feels like it could be much better with the right financial support, which is all the more reason to pay it a visit and learn about the Cambodian Genocide of the 1970s.

This an emotional place that may not be suitable for some though should be seen by all. Was here with a guide which is something I would highly recommend. You can tour it with an audio guide, but our guide, Mr Om, was excellent at explaining things as he was a child and lived through the Era, lending his voice to a horrific period of Cambodian history. If you care about not forgetting history that needs to be remembered, please visit and pay your respect to the victims of this horrible genocide.

A grim reminder of the Khmer Rouge regime. Visiting this place will not be complete without the Cheong Ek Killing Fields. During the time of the Khmer Rouge, there are apparently 300 sites all over Cambodia. A place to learn about history and to pay respect to the millions of victims of torture and death due to starvation.

It's a beautiful Buddhist temple. The architecture design of the temple both outside and inside is so attractive invite each and everyone with complete contention. Solace and tranquility better to find here.
The huge drumming bell in left side of temple is significant and worthy. The decorations around the Lord Buddha is still great we feel. Many amazing idols could be seen here. Anyway, a colourful look of the temple is thrilling to look at.

Not as good or impressive as expected to be one of the most important temples in Cambodia. Also main temple was under renovation, you cant access the other buildings, pagoda area is closed… not really as welcoming as other Buddhist temples are.

Wat Ounalom Monastery

ផ្លូវវត្តភ្នំ, Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Beautiful temple. 1 dollar to enter. A fair few species of wildlife including monkeys and a cool bird. Not sure on the type of bird. Temple was peaceful and not too busy. Surrounded by a park you can take a little stroll through. Not the most spectacular temple I’ve ever seen but was spiritual for sure.

Interesting structure at the centre of the park, can get a good view of it from far away or up close. There are a few steps to climb to get close to it, but these are no problem. If you’re in the area take a look as it’s interesting, plus a nice place to sit in the shade of the trees for a rest, if you need

I recently visited Wat Phnom in Cambodia and it was truly a breathtaking experience. The temple is stunningly beautiful and the intricate details of the architecture are mesmerizing. The peaceful atmosphere and serene surroundings make it a perfect place for meditation and reflection.

The grounds are well-maintained and the volunteers are friendly and helpful. I also enjoyed learning about the history and significance of Wat Phnom from the informative signs and displays throughout the temple.

Overall, I highly recommend visiting Wat Phnom if you are in Cambodia. It is a must-see attraction that will leave you feeling inspired and amazed.

Wat Phnom Daun Penh

Ultima tappa del nostro giro alla scoperta della Cambogia si conclude nella capitale, la prima e l'unica vera metropoli che abbiamo incontrato sul nostro percorso. Si fa in fretta a rendersi conto che quella che si vede è tutta un'altra facciata rispetto...

Phnom Penh - si conclude nella capitale

Ci basta qualche sguardo fuori dal finestrino per capire che la Cambogia non è come qualsiasi cosa abbiamo mai visto prima, se penso alla cambogia penso a tre colori: il rosso vivo della terra, il verde acceso della giungla e l'azzurro candido del cielo....
