People: The Cambodians seemed very open and warm to me. They spoke much better English than the Laotians – which made contact easier and also some jokes started flying around again 🙂 The group of tourists was a colourful mix – lots of package tourists only in Angkor, many backpackers on a detour from Thailand. But also people travelling in similar routes as us through the Mekong region!

Food: I rarely ate real Cambodian food – and when I did, I found it less nice than in Laos or Thailand. Western food was mostly really good though – and waiting times finally went down again!

Weather: Heat, heat heat!!! The only place where the sun was not burning down the whole time, was unfortunately Sihanoukville 😉

Costs: In the end, Cambodia was a bit more expensive than expected – especially food and accommodation were more expensive than what we were used to. Also, I had a lot of higher expenditures: Angkor, tuk tuks, museums, diving, shooting range,… In total this results in a daily budget of 28 Euro.

Accommodation: The price/performance ration was definitely right in Cambodia! We always had nice double rooms with our own bathroom for about 6-10 Dollars. Everything was clean, towels, blankets,… And finally working wifi again!

Infrastructure: Busses and tuk tuks. Everything rather mediocre, a little bit too expensive for what it was…

Illnesses: All was fine 🙂

Safety: You often hear that Cambodia is less safe than other countries in SEA. I definitely did not have that feeling at all!

Highlight: Angkor Wat of course.

Lowlight: Sihanoukville. But I didn’t have high expectations anyways!
