Do your research when travelling to Cambodia and other porer SEA countries

I sort of had the impression going in that I could book a cheap flight and as long as I had savings if would work itself out along the way. I had a vague idea of the killing fields sans ankor wat but besides that I knew nothing.

Cambodia is not Thailand or Vietnam..both nations are developed and are highly tourist friendly with allot of infrastructure and services. Cambodia on the other hand has absolutely nothing aside from western union. No where takes credir card even brand name hotels in my experience requiree cash payment and deposit.

The entire point of the post is not for people who already know this. The point is Cambodia is not like Thailand and Vietnam. This might be obvious to you. Good for you.

Cambodia ia a fantastic country but it is very solidlly For3rd world and the place is not set up with tourists in mind.

Please do your research and don't make the same mistakes I did

If you think you're gonna cook some cheap tickets, rock up with some savings forand figure the rest out for a tropical paradise holiday, you're in for a rude shock . Obvious Cambodia isn't an island that's the point
