Numerous posts reference "PB". What is a "PB"?
By the way, I'm now staying at the PNH IC. I'm only a platinum, but got upgraded to the Executive Floor. I'll stay here for another two nights.

I am going to say it again, but I feel that using PB's at IC Phnom Penh is waste of money. I was just there for three nights and the RA treatment was exactly the same as on my all previous paid stays, although didn't get their presidential this time.
- Suite
- RA Amenity
- Lounge Access
- Internet
You can find the video of the junior suite I had as well as about 150 other hotels on my http://youtube.com/loyaltylobby channel.

OK, factoring in the points/credits for a paid stay, I can see that it might be worth using cash rather than points for someone worried about reaching requalification levels.

+ all the RA benefits apply as it was a paid stay.

They won't take a foreigner for less than 3 or 4 USD IC <--> riverside, and probably first give you a price around 6 to 8 USD that you need to haggle down.
Cab and tuk tuks at the airport are fixed price - you need to buy a voucher before leaving the arrival hall (can't miss). The hotel offers a car (Toyota) for 20 USD. Taxis seem fine; I've so far always opted for an arranged transfer, though.

Second Prize is Sixteen Nights
Having traveled the world, I recently gave a speech on the worst places on the planet. I ranked PP 2d worst, after Auschwitz. Hard to grab a big lunch after an excursion to the Killing Fields!

Seriously, what will you do for eight nights in PP? I spent two nights there a few years ago, and when my guide dropped me at the hotel, he advised me to stay there till our next scheduled meeting.

Boy you are missing something. Never listen to guides when it comes to "your safety". They are always way too overprotective. Or they want to steer you to places where they get kickbacks. I hate guides. They all told me to avoid the independence celebrations in PNH but I wisely ignored them and had the time of my life. Just go wandering around! 8 days is long for casual tourism, but why not dig deep? Check out this old trip report http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-...o-sjc-lax.html
If you can do stuff alone.. do them alone...

I won't bother to respond to the ad hominem attack.
Suffice it to say if your idea of a good time is coming face to face with 8,000 skulls, then PP is for you. Enjoy. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...vcambodia.html
