Any hostel recommendations in Kampot please. And tours for Bokor Hill Station from Kampot. PP to Battambang - where from, how and how much again please. (Basically, we fly into PP arriving at about 9am and would like to head straight to Kampot. Then coming back into PP and heading to Battambang, and would like some help with the "hows") Many many thanks, Karen & Colin bravogila bravogila Post Count: 1 Msg: #2 117 weeks ago, October 10th 2007 | Hi Karen and Colin. | Angkor Wat and Cambodia is a truly unique holiday destination where you can experience the mystic and splendour of an ancient civilisation while still enjoying the comfort of modern amenities. My name is Sopheap(nickname Tee) and I am an experienced tour guide living in Siem Reap, the modern-day city in Cambodia where the ancient Angkor is situated. Please visit my weblog at www.angkorholiday.blogspot.com or call me at +855 12 478 612 if you need assistance or advice about holidaying in Cambodia. My email address can be found in my weblog.
