This is a ride I could do. Away from the city and few pedestrians. 😄

So many beautiful rides. Don't recommend doing it in dry season is it's very hot and a dusty.

@heinerpetersen6778 4 ай бұрын

Free traveling between the Asian countries would be great. I think Cambodia's tourist industry could benefit. Now it lags behind Vietnam and Thailand and the authorities should make up their mind (as they obviously do!) about the reasons. Definitely it is not due to the people or nature..... Tourists with limited time and small kids are really unhappy when crossing borders and heaps of paperwork has to be controlled in long waiting queues.

@ForRiel 4 ай бұрын

Well they could recoup some of the money from a Tourist tax like they do in Malaysia. You just pay it at the hotel, easy revenue maker.

@@ForRiel I fully agree. Ididn't want to claim we tourists from so called developed countries do not have the 35 $ for a visa when travelling SEA. It is more the paperwork on top...

Smash the loike button, folks! I've been hearing about the heat! Summer came early this year?! Nice news update and leisurely scooter ride. Good to hear about the New Years rules. Let's see if they're obeyed! Oh only in PP 😅🤷 I'll bring a poncho 😂 Money laundering 🤪 when will they ever learn. Hilarious. Visa free travel would be nice. Keeping our fingers crossed. I'll note that air-conditioned restaurant! Beyond Angkor is great! I've been marking my favorite spots on Google maps via comparison with their site. Looking forward to improvements. Thanks for the nice scooter ride!

Sadly looking a bit hazy. Good to see NR6 looking reasonably quiet though - I always found it something of an unpleasant ride along there. Trucks and buses barreling past with a few inches to spare. Invariably I would end up taking the slower parallel dirt roads through villages, end up getting sidetracked...lol

The common visa could be good or bad. Currently, Fijians get 90 days in Vietnam, 30 days in Malaysia, Cambodia and Lao, but only 14 days in Thailand. If the common visa means 90 days for all, then great, but if it means 14 days for some, then we will stop traveling ASEAN and start traveling South America.

Thanks. Sounds like a locals place. A few blocks from Angkor High School is one of the Muffin man locations. Across the street and down about a block is a Cambodian soup restaurant. We noticed every morning the street was packed with tuks and motorcycles in front of it. One morning we ventured in and ordered soup and loved it. They charged us $1.00 per bowl and it included hot tea. We never saw any other westerners there but loved the experience.

G;Day Claire n Big J , I think its way over due for free tourist visas ! , how many family's visit other close countries , start multiplying the cost of visa's alone and theres a huge reason for most not to visit and use money else where , as for the train crash lots need to be done to prevent these horrific scenes , I have attended and seen too many in my service , always bad to watch , any ways don't get too wet ...
