You flew from Siagon to PP?! :eek:

How did you find Kampot? Did you go to Bakor Hill station?

Kep, just down the road on the coast is also really nice. Rabbit Island (Koh Tonsay) is paradise. $5/night hut on the beach, seafood everyday. Really wonderful stuff.

When I went into Vietnam I hired a motocycle from Kep to Ha Tien just over the border in Vietnam and then went to Can Tho and Mi Tho which were the dullest places I'd been to in South East Asia.

The Meekong delta is not the one - should have stayed in Sihanoukville.

Aye we flew - I had real issues with my stomach and couldn't face the bus journey.

Kep is a great place though not a great deal to keep you for anything over several hours, the crabs though are superb. Kampot is worth checking out, we preferred there to Sihanoukville. We were told the Bakor Hill station wasn.t worth the effort so didn't bother. We did hire a bike and just toured the area, vitisitng caves and local life.
 
Sihanoukville is good if you're young and want to go on the piss and chat up girls and play playstation in airconditioned rooms and watch films in bars and re-fill your ipod, catch an STD and dance to the shittiest pop.

I quite enjoyed it! :D

it just sounds tacky and horrid
 
It is what it is. After 5 months of temples and noodles it was like taking a holiday from my...err...holiday.

I bet you wouldn't like tubing in Veng Vien either ;)
 
Rubbish beach, Sihanoukville - couldn't believe ppl were raving about this place, considering South East Asia is blessed with some of the best beaches in the world.

Anyway, I'll be dropping into both countries next week, if I get all my work done in time. (so why am I fucking around on urban?)
 
ilovebus&blair - if you can do check out Kampot, very chilled and a great place relax by the river. Kep 25 mins away and as said above, great crab. We were told that bokor not worht the visit - y9u cannot enter the buildings, only look at a few from the outside. I'd def def go see Angkor Wat - it is well worth the effort.

Also I have a correction! My wife said we took the coach from Saigon to PP!

We were told that bokor not worht the visit - y9u cannot enter the buildings, only look at a few from the outside, its also a large building site as they're building a luxury hotel andcasino there. I'd def def go see Angkor Wat - it is well worth the effort.

You can go inside the buildings at Bakor Hill, and the walk to the top is really nice. At the top is an abandoned casino, church and police station that are really spooky.

You can go to the roof as the casino which is easily one of the highest points in Cambodia and see for miles, the view is something to behold.

As of Febuary/March they were still building the road up the hill so the luxary hotel's building site is a loooong while away.

Bakor Hill was a highlight of my Cambodia leg of my trip.

One of the buildings at the top.
 
Enjoy Kep - some great crabs, buy a kilo and a few cold beers to go with them. If you do make it to Kampot (more there than kep) say hi to vic at rusty keyhole, from Craig and Shelley!

yeah it was amazing, got a few digital pics. but mostly i shot film only got one roll developed to see if they were damaged by the xrays, which they wernt. dont have much money so it might be a few weeks before i get them all done.

i loved saigon, spent a whole week there. its such an amazing city. kep and campot were also really nice places spent ages there also.
 
Over our year off, Vietnam was by far the best place we visited - will definitely go back.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for some photies!
 
ooooh, I'm looking for a holiday in SE Asia but I only have two weeks. what would your recommendations be, experienced peeps :)
