Phnom Penh

The capital of Cambodia didn't impress us much.

In Phnom Penh, we saw the Royal Palace with the Silver Pagoda and visited the Killing Fields.

We took a hotel bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh. The term hotel bus sounds cozy and almost luxurious. In short, it was a bus with double beds spread over two floors, which were...

We have never experienced such a crazy border crossing like here in Cambodia, and we have already crossed several borders. First, our bus driver collects our passports. With a...

We are at the end of our Vietnam adventure. On to Cambodia and the capital Phnom Penh.

After deciding to leave the pepper, it was time to head to the island of Koh Rong Samloem. A small idyllic island that is still very original and quiet. The dream beaches in the...

Wake up at 5:30 am 🫣, that's holiday 😉! After a quick breakfast, we take the speedboat to Cambodia at 7:15 am. The ride on the Mekong River at around 38 degrees Celsius was...

The journey in the minivan 🚐 to Phnom Penh took 6 hours and was really entertaining. The driver stopped every 2 hours at gas stations or restaurants with clean toilets. And we...

Hello, hello! 5 days ago, we continued to Cambodia. Our first stop was the capital city of Phnom Penh, where we spent the last few days. The city is much smaller than Bangkok,...

Will they send me back?

02/13/2020: Cap is fine, all is well.

On 23.01., my flight departed from the 3°C cold Frankfurt via Hong Kong to the 30°C warm Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. Thomas and I randomly decided to spend our vacation...

26.06.19 As planned yesterday, today we want to visit the S-21 torture prison, which is now a museum that reminds of the crimes of the Khmer Rouge. Before we set off, relatively...

In the past few days, we have been constantly on the move, visiting at least one sight each day. It’s time to slow down! We are taking a rest day and considering how and where to...

Once again, I had arrived in another country, the 5th of my journey so far, and once again, it meant getting used to the new language, culture, and especially a new currency. The...

On what feels like the highest rise in Phnom Penh lies Wat Phnom. In fact, it is the highest temple in the city, built - as I later read on Wikipedia - on an artificially created...

The capital city of Phnom Penh is big, noisy, and not really my thing. Okay, if you wander around the busy streets a bit, you can actually discover some nice and quiet places,...

In Phnom Penh, we visit the Killing Fields and the Genocide Museum to learn about the dark past of this country.

Not just the rooftop terrace - our hotel is popular for wedding photos and other photo shoots. On the last evening, I stumbled upon another session with a spirit of the clouds on...

Hello everyone, I greet everyone in cold Germany. Very early in the morning, I started off in Siem Reap, exactly at 6 o'clock. When I arrived at the reception, it was dark and...

What you can see here on the streets deserves its own post 😂. You really can't stop being amazed here. It's better than watching TV and above all, highly creative! As soon as a...

The journey to the state capital city was enjoyable in the luxury bus, although it did little to compensate for the bad roads. Upon arrival in Phnom Penh, we decided not to...

On this day, we visited two memorial sites that symbolize the genocide of about a quarter of Cambodia's population about 40 years ago. These murders primarily occurred because...

06/24/2019 The idea of leaving the window open overnight (with a mosquito net) turned out to be a mistake at 05:45 AM. Because at exactly that time, the owner of the hostel...

After arriving in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, by minivan, we took a tuk-tuk to our hostel. The hostel costs only €5 per person per night, but it feels almost like a...

Toul Sleng - or S-21 - was the secret center of the killing machinery of the Khmer Rouge. Today, the facility, originally a school, houses the Genocide Museum. Out of respect, we...
