Cambodia Laos and Thailand, From Phnom Penh To Sihanoukville, 9 February 2001

Left early for Sihanoukville – four hour drive. Stop off on way to refresh/make offerings to Pich Nil who blesses the journeys along that road.

Blessed be the travellers at Pich Nil, between Phnom Penh & Sihanoukville

Lunch of chicken soup at Seaside Hotel. Then lovely afternoon the beach. I get chatted up by lots of pretty girls as usual. Daisy fends them off.

While there was something a bit sleepy-seedy about Sihanoukville back then, it hadn’t even faintly started its boom as a casino and high rise seaside city, nor its even more recent bust as a scam and crime town.

Early evening at La Feulle restaurant where we tried chicken curry, Khmer sweet-and-sour pork and mixed veg and rice. I’m shattered so we have an early night had a good sleep.
