Nah, we’ve been taking it easy here in Sihanoukville AKA Snookyville. We didn’t know this place existed a couple weeks ago. We were told that it was a nice beach so we thought it would be a good change in pace. Also, jeboody just wants to show off his guns on the beach. The Khmer girls love him btw.
I am really enjoying my time at Otres Beach. It has a very laid back vibe. There aren’t a ton of hawkers around asking you to buy stuff like the other beaches and the rest of Cambodia. We’re staying in a $10/night bungalow which is about 20-30 feet from the water. It’s a very simple little hut. No AC. Mosquito net around our bed. Shared bathrooms. It has a camping feel to it, where you can hear everything that is going on around you. I’m loving it. Jeboody, on the other hand, is completely out of his comfort zone.
A lot of people that we have met around here have been here for at least a couple weeks, many a lot longer. It’s a good break from the bustling cities but it is still a developing town. There is definitely potential here for it to be a real tourist destination. Maybe not like south Thailand but it isn’t bad that’s for sure. For now, at least at Otres beach, it is quiet, clean, and just chill. People lounge around the beach during the day and then all gather in one bar at night to have a few beers or pass around one, two, or three joints. I can see the appeal of this lifestyle but we needed a little more adventure!
We kayaked to a small island from the beach to do some snorkeling.
Fob face fail
Right now, we’re just chilling in a bar on the beach. Probably do a little standup paddle boarding after lunch. Tomorrow, some island hopping. Then off to Phnom Penh for a couple days where we will see the Killing Fields and S-21 prison. Not exactly sure what to do other than those two things. (probably some Street Fight against the locals). Afterwards, Vietnam!
