EricBerg Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Perhaps a bit self-destructive? Lead tourist out of the Kingdom? Compare Thai destinations with Siem Reap/Angkor sites. Thailand will be in strong contrast to Cambodia. Far as littering, prices and hospitality, scams and corruption towards tourists are concerned Cambodia is much more clean. The combined trips will draw extra tourists I am sure. In the longer run it may cost Thailand as it is still going downhill on price-quality.

Spent months at a time in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville and had fewer touts trying to rip you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not called Scambodia for nothing and the comment about littering baffles me. Cambodians literally live in their own trash. Have you ever been to a Cambodian market? Everything gets just tossed on the ground/into the river but contrary to Thailand, nobody seems to clean it up there. I was highly disgusted driving through the countryside... how can people be such pigs and be oblivious to all the trash around them? It's not like they are very busy with other things? Sitting in packs of 10 on the patio for 16 hours a day but can't spare 30 minutes for getting rid of all the trash they sit in But I agree that a Cambodian smile often seems more genuine even though the people often come across as a bit helpless/sad.

Strangebrew Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Well besides all the missing limbs and land mines and houses built on stilts over waterways with holes in floors so one can take a dump into waterways. Lets face it most of us bitch at the corruption here yet we remain why? cause we find comfort in the knowing if it sounds to good it is because it is. Once you understand the rules you can play the game. I pick and choose who I wish to befriend here as well as where I'm from. Only difference between Cambodia and Thailand is you can buy and own land in Cambodia and gamble legally. next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
