Decent hotel in PP close to nightlife/shopping

Shit sorry Harry I think I gave you a bogus link I just Googled and copied the first link so people look out there appears to be a rort site that charges more.

Evisa is the way to go since it saves you a page in your pp. On arrival is 30 (+ 2 if you don't bring photos). The wait is usually a short one, but can be >30 mins if a couple planes arrive simultaneously. As far as ban mi, I've had a few in VN and exactly one here with no problems. It's always pate`, and looking at the mayo festering in the sun is off-puting for me. Generally, expats avoid street food here to save stress on the anus. Most of the street coffee guys sell fake coffee - avoid. Actually most hotels and restaurants serve the sweet greasy shit too. Get a taxi from a kiosk outside the door. They're only a few bucks > a tuk tuk. Have him cut over to street 128 as the normal route 110 is all fucked up by construction.

Ah that 'splains it.

I spotted it straight away though. Way too slick for a SEA government website.

Another good point about eVisa. And you don't even need the return copy (recently anyway) though I think better to print it too Just use some kind of hand sanitizer after fingerprint scanner. Just a practical advice

But let's not forget what went on under French rule, slavery and universities not allowed for Cambodians and what caused rise of Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge and why Cambodia is, still, amongst other ex-French colonies, one of poorest countries on this planet.

But now Cambodia is advancing rapidly, free of french scum. They have a future.

that's right, blame the White man, can't be anything to do with the locals now can it

Nothing to do with White man pal, just the French.

[Prikkus]

What's with the obsession with poverty-stricken Asian ladies Prikkus?

Can't get yourself a white girl?

in case you hadn't noticed, most of the girls in SE Asia aren't excactly white

So you got business visa, if you mean extendable - it costs USD35 not 1400b, you have been had but dont feel too sad as many others have been had too. Usually poor backpackers who really could not have that tiny amount of money to lose. You could have checked all about it on the internet beforehand though. But just add it to experience, next time you will know better. And crossing Poipet...

it works out to an extra 4USD - though if you could show me where there is an exchange booth in Bangkok that gives you the excact conversion rate from Baht to USD then sure, next time I'll do that first of course

KR, Pol Pot, Civil war, social dysfunction etc.. NOT the fault of the French

It was exactly the fault of the French that created that situation. Read some history books. While on that, check out why all other ex-french colonies are dirt poor as well, most doing much worse than modern day Cambodia.

Understanding that is serious money for backpacker... but how about a bank? Plenty of internationally operating banks in Bangkok. Must be some on Khao San Road too, but haven't checked.

Troller,

thanks for the red again about something you know nothing about. If you knew something about this, why not post it publicly and not just send silly "you are shit" comment.

I despise your kind of... what are you anyway? Mutant zombie euroshite?

you mean like Vietnam? yeah right, fukin retard.....

I think you is just a bleeding hearts looking to blame the white man - the French didn't start the KR or the screwed up mentality of the Khmers....having a dysfunctional society and then blaming it on the white man is the thing that NGO lib do-gooders do , total waste of space IOW

and you happen to know a bank that will give a customer the exact exchange rate, you know without commision or shaving of the rate in some way? no, they do not, banks do not give 'free' currency exchanges

[wackyjacky]

Probably best to get about $50 first. At BKK there's a Superrch now down by the ARL entrance with decent rates. It's more important at land crossings though, where the Immigration cocksuckers are voracious - 1600+.

[Prikkus]

but seriously this is backpacker stuff, you know trying to save 1 dollar here, 1 dollar there, how about just crossing the border and getting on with it and Exit Strategy seems to have some fear of Poipet as well..

I usually stay in the $6 rooms, plenty of them about, and fine for taking skanks back to !

Oh the irony.

[Prikkus]

6 bucks a day for a month adds up to 180, so that's worth doing compared to your 150/night room

not the same thing

[ChiangMai noon]

Oh the irony.

Indeed. LOL

Best you worry about trying to save a dollar or two here or there then.

Yeah.

you mean like Vietnam? yeah right, fukin retard.....

And read the books again and learn about the French who created that nasty situation as well. If you can't read, watch some f*kin movie....re-

WTF? Fear of Poi Pet? Do explain. I have walked over that border number of times. Tell you what, you need to be aware, your kind of backpacker will be done without proper knowledge how things work out (google is your friend, even if your lot wants to erase Google, euroshite). So maybe I fear and keep watching left and right there, but then again, that is a basic instinct that has kept me alive quite a long time.

That said, Poi Pet isn't anywhere near top list of dangerous places there are.
