Cambodia has a small, pretty undeveloped coast along it’s southeast border. We arrived here in Sihanoukville by bus on Phnom Penh Saturday evening and have been here since.
The beach is lined with thatch-roofed restaurant huts that offer cold drinks plus a wide variety of food. Children, women, and beggars walk up and down the beach in search of tourist dollars for their food, hand-made jewelry, and opportunities for manicures, pedicures, and massage. I admire their resourcefulness to find ways to support themselves while providing a service to travelers.
We’re staying in a cute bungalow about a block from the beach with air-conditioning and hot water. Total cost per night for this comfort–$20. Paradise!
We’ve decided to stay here until we go back to Phnom Penh on Friday morning. We’re enjoying this slow way of life and relaxing. The beach is beautiful.
