Cambodia...Kingdom of Wonder.
I have been longing to go to this country ever since I heard and read about Pol Pot regime. I read about it and understand how inhumane it is. Therefore when opportunity knocks, when they asking me to arrange for out group holiday, I have chose Cambodia though most of them wanted to go to Phuket. Since Phuket flight is not as cheap as what we budgeted, I quietly booked flight to Phnom Penh and tell them afterwards. They forced to agree and I got what I wanted. Teehehe! We booked the flight since April for our 3rd November vacation. Initially there should be 8 of us but it come down to only 5.

Our flight schedule at 7.05 am. So we only have a little bit of sleep that night before taking taxi to LCCT.

| Finally... |

| Filling up the form for immigration |

| Bird eye view |
The flight was okay tho' the passenger well some of them a bit weird but what do you expect. There will always be weird people around so we don't bother. As long as we reached the place on time and safely.
We reached Phnom Penh airport after 1 hour 45 mins journey and immigration in Cambodia, I could say faster than the immigration in Indonesia and better too.

| See that happy faces... |
 |
| There! We're finally here |
 |
| That happy faces...again |

| With our tour guide....Ustaz Salleh is really good and could speak malay too! |
Off we go to the hotel and on the way I snap some pictures of building and monuments. Well, I'm the tourist so I'm acting like one. LOL!

| Government offices |

| Government office again |
 |
| Royal Palace |
We check in to our hotel at River Star Hotel near riverside so the view is simply amazing. The hotel for a twin sharing room is really spacious although overall its an old hotel but the stay there was okay not scary. I forgot to snap the room pictures or even the hotel pictures. Guess I was so occupied snapping other picture. Hehe!
There are a lot of hotel in that area because this place is a tourist spot so night life here is better than other place in Phnom Penh. Well, most of the shop in Phnom Penh close at 9 so it is quiet town by 9. But luckily, not at this area. There are a lot of bars and spa centre that open till late. For traveller that love night life or some noise, you should stay around this area.
Well, since we have morning flight so after check in we go to find some breakfast...again! The halal restaurant is just around the corner from our hotel. The teh tarik here and coffee are seriously gooooddd! So nice!!
 |
| Since I don't have the hotel pic. This is massage shop next to our hotel. That will do...:p |
 |
| Halal restaurant near the hotel and yes, they could speak malay too |
 |
| The menu...yes they are in Malay too... well mix with with English |
 |
| This is the bread pate ..ham slices with french bread. Maybe just not my type of sandwich. It will be better without that chilli sauce and cucumber. |
After brunch, we continue our tour. Yes, this is the tour that I wanted to go so much and I have read so much about it. The journey was okay. Well you can't expect so much on the road condition here but we have no complaint. Since there are VIPs coming to the first place that we suppose to go so we went to the second place instead.
I shall continue the tour details in my next post hopefully tonight so it could be published tomorrow. Hopefully... Should keep to my promise. Well I'll try...:D
All in all...Cambodia is really a kingdom of wonders and we have a blast while we are there. Oh, in case you want to know about our tour guide. do visit his facebook page
Salleh Lee. I will do the review, I promise but believe me he's excellent and the fees we pay is all worth it.
Stay tune for my next chapter... huhu
