In the dry season definitely, in the rainy season not so much.... But it does depend upon the extent of the rain (and of construction in the locality).

My favorite is the National Museum. Great Khmer Art there. It is well worth a couple hours on the way to the happy hour mojitos at the FCC.

Twice I've been disappointed with those vaunted mojitos. :o

The museum is very nice though and an underrated attraction. I just wish they'd tear down the infrastructure built for Sihanouk's cremation in the park fronting the museum.

Thanks for the advice, I'd rather take a flight and skip the bus. I'll check with Cambodia ankorair and see what tthey have, everything I saw on ITA Matrix was very expensiv, so iI'llneed to book with them ddirectly

Would you mind reporting back on your trip, from booking to boarding to inflight?

Thanks in advance.

I've had dozens and only had to have the bartender adjust them a couple times. Like I said before: Too sweet - more lime. Too tart - more sugar. Not minty - more mint. If sent back, I ask for more rum in all cases. You're right, the Sihanouk stuff will probably still be there on the 1st anniversary.

+1. I like this museum. Nice building outside and wonderful pieces inside.
And the FCC is definitely a place I stop every time I am in PP :)

I wish also they will tear down this. I was "shocked" when I saw this structure last february and I was wondering if it was intended to remain permanently ? The esplanade of the museum was much nicer before, without this.

Yes, do not hesitate to book directly on their site

I didn't realize how cheap these flights were. One LCC (or maybe it's not an LCC? seems cheap) I wasn't aware of, would have saved me a bus ride. Oh well :o

It's not a LCC. If you're not used to S.E. Asia quality of service (in general), you will be shocked to see what has become the western world :rolleyes:

I made a video of riding around Phnom Penh. Was my first time in the country and I loved it. So much to see and do and it's all great.

Bravo. Seriously cool. I commute between Italy and Cambodia for work. Now, sitting in my house in Italy I feel like it's P.P. all over again. Grazie.

Take notion that for international destinations (like BKK) taxes are 200% of the base fare.

Most of the time FD DMK-PNH, PNH-DMK is around $50 (ai) for the early flights anyway. On Cambodian Angkor Air I think I paid 4700B RT to BKK (ai) a month ago or so. Certainly worth it to not have to get up for the 6:50 DMK flight.

Well Done!

I just landed yesterday, first visit ever - biz trip. Got advanced eVisa, well worth the $20. http:/mfaic.gov.kh/evisa/

Staying at White Mansions Boutique Hotel, the old US embassy. Can't say enough for service, rooms, location...^

Had dinner at Sugar Palm, local food recommended by hotel, $2 tuk tuk ride, food not bad, a little sweet for my taste. POV
