16. The Royal Palace is pleasant, but really isn’t worth spending much time. It isn’t unique or particularly impressive compared with the ones in Thailand or Laos.

17. The most impressive experience in Phnom Penh was clearly the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. It’s a very immersive experience in a reality so cruel that is difficult to understand how it was possible and “allowed”. Alike Dachau Memorial it’s a full cultural and history lesson about human nature.
If you want to have tour you can go to Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields with Urban Adventure.

18. Koh ta Kiev became our personal paradise. With warm, clear water and powder sand it’s the place where our minds wander when we are bored. It’s the perfect no frills place to relax and get away from the world. We were supposed to stay for one day and stayed 3 days…

19. Koh Rong is the opposite! It’s Cambodia’s party island, where the backpackers and hippies go to party, drink and dance. Unfortunately it’s also very dirty and disgusting in the main village. However, you can still find great beaches in Koh Rong, namely long beach, which is easily one of most stunning beaches we have ever been to!

20. Sihanoukville is a coastal town of Cambodia with a very sketchy reputation related to drugs and sex tourism, though we didn’t notice anything different from other tourist destinations of South East Asia. What really impressed us was the looks of the beach in the morning… I wouldn’t get in that water even if got paid!

Food and eating
21. Khmer food is similar to Lao and Thai. Probably closer to Lao because it isn’t as spicy as Thai.
22. If you have the opportunity try Kampot pepper. The production decreased during the wars and afterwards but it’s starting to recover again. It was once very famous in french cuisine and regarded as the best pepper in the world!

23. Our favorite Khmer dish is the Amok! It can be chicken, beef or fish. Either way it’s great. Amok is thick soup cooked with fish, meat, vegetables, eggs and coconut milk. It’s usually eaten with white rice.

24. Although by international standards food is extremely cheap, we found it to be slightly more expensive than in Thailand or Malaysia. Maybe on pair with Laos.
25. While in Cambodia we found these incredible tasty, crispy and delicious tarantulas! Well, not really, 🙂 we couldn’t eat them… It’s too freaky for us! But you can try them, if you must.
