I stayed at the Mad Monkey Hostel in Phnom Penh and booked my ticket over there. There where 3 options to of busses. Local bus ($13), an touringcar($18) and a minivan($15). I took the touringcar with wifi and comfortable seats. It was leaving at 7 o’clock in the morning. (little bit hard after a good beerpong play in the Mad Monkey bar)
Tip: Do the audio tour. Its $6 and with it! They have a lot of languages.
Yesterday it was the most depressing day of my trip so far. In the ’70’s (’75 till ’79) one out of four Cambodians where killed by the Khmer Rouge. There are more than 20.00 mass graves in Cambodia and two million people out of a population of 8 million where killed. The rest of the world didn’t know whats going on on that moment. It was hard to see al the pictures of the killing fields and bones and clothers everywhere. They are still in the ground and you can see them. When it is raining they will come up to the surface.
My stay at the Mad Monkey hostel in Phnom Penh was great. The real food is good the staff is nice en helpfull. The dorms rooms are clean and the bunkbeds are from steal an big! The matrasses are tick.
The reception of the Mad Monkey hostel is accross the street but you’ll find it. They offer tours and busrides to almost everywhere. Ask Dara, the Cambodia guy who can speak real good English. Otherwise they arrange a private taxi so you can go. The loundry service is a little expensive so better wash your clothes somewhere elke when you want to save money ($2 a kilo)
