Night life...

Six or seven years ago, during one of our stays in Phnom Penh, we visited a club called POC (Pride of Cambodia), which was entertaining its patrons with a concert called a "drag show." A drag show is a form of performance art in which performers (primarily drag queens, often men who portray exagger...

Tonle Sap and Mekong River Cruise

A cruise on the Tonle Sap River, both before and after sunset, gives a comprehensive impression of how much Phnom Penh has changed over the past dozen or so years. The capital's silhouette against the sunset sky is as impressive as any other metropolis in the world. We've seen with our own eyes ...

A glance at the nearby province

Across the Tonle Sap River, on which Phnom Penh lies, the true landscape of the province begins. Poor farms, some neglected, their inhabitants seem to be busy with indefinite something. But they still spend most of their time eating. And this can happen anywhere, at any time, with just the phone pu...

China or Cambodia?

On the second half of the day, we are sightseeing  the capital's newest districts. All of it was "produced" by the Chinese and is operated by them, as they have numerous companies there.

Snapshots taken from the tuk-tuk show the pulse of this district, a daily occurrence for the locals. Dubbed "R...

Arriving in Phnom Penh

The territorial conflict between Thailand and Cambodia doesn't concern tourist areas, and our (and the world's) mighty benefactor, Trump, guarantees that everything will end well. The entire trip from Ao Nang to the hotel in Phnom Penh took 10 hours, because these air transfers (despite short fligh...

Bye bye Krabi!

With a short entry on Monday, December 15th, we conclude our stay in southern Thailand – in the Krabi region. We weren't particularly active in tourism, but that was our intention. We arrived here after a busy 2025, which didn't exactly spoil the Poles with beautiful weather. Climate change has a...

Farewell dinner

To support local businesses, we drove 5 km outside Ao Nang to BoBo and his aunt's restaurant, where we had a farewell dinner. It's lovely to see the owners' happy faces after their "regular" customers visit. The rest is in the photos Lady chef's suggestion: The green discoloration is from the r...
