Obviously this city is known for Angkar Wat but it boasts some of the most beautiful scenery around Cambodia. The Town is small and very easy to get around with the notorious pub street lined with restaurants and clubs!!!!!  If you want a good and relaxing hotel, then stay at the Landing Gold Villa.  You can read the great review I gave on trip advisor here Landing Gold Villa by Daniel Yenshaw.  And dont forget to ask for Mr. Bean as your Tuk Tuk Driver.  He works wonders!!!!-sr.mrbean@yahoo.com!!!

You have cooking and cocktail classes which are always and enjoyment for me!!!!!

In getting out of the city one day, I visited Preah Vihear Temple which is so close to the Thai border that they have guards stationed around. It actually predates Angkar Wat and is very difficult to get too. It is dedicated to the Hindu God Shiva but its real purpose remained unclear.

For many years I supported a girl through an organization called Friendship With Cambodia. She comes from a very small village of a minority people called Koy which have their own language and some of them cannot even speak Khmer. I took some needed supplies to some of the villagers and spoke with her through an English translator I have hired Mr. Chea. She unfortunately because of sickness could not finish school and had to use a lot of money for her family (as her dad died very young) and for medical bills. I am happy to see that she has a beautiful baby and a good husband and is living in her same village. She works for a local NGO that helps keep the traditions alive for her minority group. This probably was one of the most important experiences of my life thus far…..

Then of course you have Angkar Wat area. One of the most awe inspiring structures ever made (could possibly be better than the pyramids. Just walking around these structures, it is amazing of how well they were built and maintained. Enough rambling. Pictures will tell the story……
