Cambodia border accommodation at walking distance from checkpoint ?

[bangkokairportlink]

Hello,

 

Have you stayed somewhere at walking distance from border checkpoint in Cambodia ?

 

One of these 3 borders preferred but opened I am open to all suggestions.

 

BORDER BAN LAEM/DAUNG - Ban Laem/Daun Lem

BORDER BAN PAKARD/PHSAR PRUM - Ban Pakkard Ban Phak Kat/Phrom

BORDER HAD LEK / CHAM YEAM CAMBODIA

Thank you.

I've never stayed there, but there is I think at least one, maybe 2 or more, Casino hotels at Ban Pakard.

 

I don't think there is much of anything at Ban Laem.

At Had Lek only one Casino Hotel at the border. A short ride into Khon Kenh(spelling) you will find several reasonable places.10-15usd.  Too far to walk. Car/taxi perhaps 100 Baht moto, car double. Scam alert. Once in KK you will find it a nice small town to visit for one night. God Bless You and OO.

Do you mean Koh Kong ? Only 100 thb from the border ?

100 baht sounds right (for tourist price, but that's what one is!) from the border checkpoint to Koh Kong city.  It's not that far, but too far to walk.

Yes, on a motorcycle taxi. A car will be more, fair is 200.Baht.

 

In Cambodia be aware there is a very common scam of taking people to hotels which pay the most commission. Maybe that's not really a "scam" in one sense, but the hotel will then charge you more to pay the "commission" which is where the scam comes in to play. A perfectly fine even river front room is only $10-15.Usd. You will be taken into town unless you are a real traveler. You want to stay in one of those on the river. Not many if any "bars" but some local brothels if that your thing. God Bless You and OO.

Thank you but nobody will choose anything for me. I always know where to go before I travel. So funny if some tourists can still be caught in stupid scams in 2017.

 

So Koh Kong is like dead ?

Where to go and how much to pay...

 

Koh Kong...it's been about two years but some things never change. It's just a little town. There used to be a chicken ranch but that's long gone so I'm told. Now a few this and that but overall, nothing to do but enjoy the concept of a small town in the middle of nowhere. Which reminds me...I was at the chicken ranch sitting with another bloke and a couple ladies and it dawned on me that that was in fact "the middle of nowhere"...you would not be found if you died. There aren't any "doctors" or hospitals or air lifts out etc.. Some allure to that for some like Adam and Eve. God Bless You and OO.
