This thread is a trip report from my original thread of 26 March ‘First trip to Cambodia-PP and Sihanoukville?’
This trip was really a test in anticipation of a longer, upcoming trip to Pattaya in June where I was looking for a side trip to either PP or AC (following on from a March visit). I have been a regular to Pattaya for 27 years and after lamenting the ‘good old days’ when things were less commercial, I started to think I should try other places. I had been to Manila and Cebu before but that was a long time ago so my AC/Subic trip was a start and I thoroughly enjoyed that- couldn’t get over the choice and availability of girls there but that’s the subject of another thread… I had heard of blokes going to Cambodia from Pattaya over the years and then more recently when returning to OZ, I sat next to a guy on the plane who had just got back from there and we got to chat…hence my interest was sparked and I thought I must go and check it out.
I’d got a lot of newbie info from Philippine addicts forum for my AC/Subic trip so I similarly turned to the Cambodia sub-forum of Pattaya addicts for info about PP. I found a wealth of information there for any newbie to Cambodia. As I got closer to my departure date, I thought it would be nice to meet up with other board members and realising there was both a tourist and ex-pat scene, I was curious to get to know that. I wasn’t looking for someone to hold my hand or anything as I like to do things my way but thought it would be good to catch up with some of the guys and get a few tips along the way. So I decided to message rddpp and he kindly offered to meet up at the Sorya mall, street 51 on my arrival.
