Cool airport

The second leg of our Asian journey has come to an end. We're returning to Thailand. From the new airport in Phnom Penh, a truly beautiful and impressive project. "Techo International" stands for Techo International Airport in Cambodia, which is the new main airport serving the capital, Phnom Penh...

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.

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...

Southeast Asia again!

It's hard to believe, but it's been over six years since our last trip to Thailand and Cambodia! This is us in the fall of 2025 - full of anticipation of another visit to Southeast Asia: Many factors contributed to this hiatus, primarily COVID and the general slowdown in life. Nevertheless, we'v...
