I also fancy Cambo with a mate maybe in the new year. Any tips?

The last time i went to phnom penh (by myself) was about 3 years ago for a job interview, great "architecture" phnom penh is a pretty lively place plenty of good restaurants and bars inexpensive to.

You can put the kids on the ko-karts next door while you do this. I'm not linking my youtube cos then I'll out myself and can't have that because you are all a bunch of nutters.

here's one I found.

Nicely put together video, I'll bet you anything he missed, then sold them the (now trauma ridden) cow back for less.

Get the M60 and a duck. don't waste any more money on the small stuff. Act a little bit crazy to avoid possible journalist suspicion. Proceed to the RPG/buffalo Combo.

Sorry Dirk I put that through google translate and it still came out as scribble.
Is English not your first language?

[dirk diggler]

I'm pretty sure everybody else understood, but no, English is not my first language.

Just back from another short trip to vietnam, we flew vientiane to saigon , then took a short flight with Vietjet airlines to phu quoc island , then took the hydrofoil from saigon to Vung tau .

In saigon we stayed in the new liberty hotel which ran me about $80, great view of the saigon river and close to District 1 which is where a lot of Tourists seem to wind up



It was absolutely pissing down when we landed making me wonder why we were of on a beach holiday in the first place.

A Hydrofoil coming in from vung tau, The viets bought these things from Russia where they were already considered to old to be in service, They get going at a pretty good clip and its a fairly comfortable 1 and a half hour trip down the saigon river to vung tau





View over saigon



Saigon has about 10 million population and is absolutely Frantic with traffic



i was gagging for a drink so we headed out to the Historic Caravelle hotel for a drink in the roof top bar







District 1 has got some amazing old architecture



The building in the background is the Bitexco tower, the tallest one in saigon and also a good place to get a drink and a view over the city, Plenty of eye candy about to


Plenty of floating restaurants down by the river



we took heaps of photos but im having drama uploading them on photobucket so will post some more of phu quoc and vungtau later .

what i did notice in vietnam is they arent big on punters bringing tarts back to the Hotel , Not very sporting of them really

Great pictures

Excellent thread BLD.

It was 1991 when I last spent time in Nam.

I can't believe the changes, especially Saigon.


Really surprised me.

Thanks for sharing.
