Sorry, OP - but "this". Is it too late to go elsewhere in Cambodia, which is a remarkable country? Have fun anyway

Otres Beach has a great Italian restaurant son in law from Bournemouth.Happy hour on joints Bar, as well.Kep and Kampot were more to my liking.

Wanted to go there 20 years ago, but it was well and truely off limits after 3 backpackers got kidnapped off the train by the Kymer Rouge, marched into the jungle and murdered.

Looks a lot safer these days..

It is indeed. I was there in June. Some of the warmest people I've ever met. Phnom Penh was fun for a few days, Siem Reap even more so, and the temples at Angkor are breathtaking.

Snooky is rather unattractive and beaches are not great. It has a reputation for petty crime. Some decent beach parties though.
Police can also be difficult. Kampot and Kep are far more laid back. Check out the Kampot Survival guide for a giggle.

Agree with this. I lived there for 3 years and loved Kep and Kampot. The crab in Kep is legendary as are the peppers in Kampot. Always found Sinahoukville a bit seedy and full of gangsters!!

Didn't love it either. There was an ok island just off it, Koh Rong You needed to take cash as there wasn't a machine on the island. Sure you will have a good time if you're hitting Siem Reap etc.
