I think we all had a nice time on the Post DO. The city of Sihanoukville isn't particularly impressive. But the beach we stayed on was stunning. It was very beautiful and very clean. Lots of good food (especially seafood) at several restaurants right on the beach. Plenty of cheap alcohol as well. Add massages right on the beach for about $8/hour and it made for a nice, relaxing couple of days.

You only paid $8? zcat18 was fleeced for $15! And then I was charged $15 also, with the assurance that it was the same price offered to the Cat!

They did have different types of legitimate massages for different prices, but the one I chose was $8/hour. Even $15 isn't bad.

I've seen massages as cheap as $1 elsewhere in Cambodia, but these $8-$15 massages were on professional massage tables that were right on a beautiful beach, just next to the water line.
