MisterFingers Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Having just completed my second consecutive visa run to the Cambodian border, I'm getting curious about the Cambodian town that's there. The bus from Pattaya doesn't allow for an excursion, so I couldn't venture in. Has anyone ever stayed there? Is there a bus that goes there? And one that comes back? I mean so you can spend a couple of nights. I guess if you pay the VIP bus 4000 baht, you can schedule a pick up form there on a later day, right? Is it worth it to stay there for a few days? I don't even know the name of the town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyebee Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 If you're talking about Poi Pet, the Lonely Planet Guide describes it as the armpit of Cambodia. The only reason anyone would want to stay is for the casinos, if you're into that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfessorFart Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Poi Pet is indeed a vile hole. There are a few Guesthouses there as well as the casinos. I once stayed there out of interest and it was a sinister place after dark. Never again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udon Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I think Fingers is referring to Patty and it may be in the Pong Nam Ron area. I tried to post my map but screwed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexy Beast Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Avoid Poi Pet at all costs because it really is an ugly place where the constant hassle will make you want to slash you’re the palms of your feet. It’s not exactly welcoming for people wanting to discover more about Cambodia. I'd say it probably frightens more people away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
