🇰🇭 Phnom Penh in One Day
First time in Cambodia? I hit the capital’s highlights—Royal Palace, Mekong River, National Museum, and Killing Fields—and lived to tell the tale. Here’s the raw scoop! 🇰🇭 Heartwarming Cambodian Moments • Locals warned me about phone-snatching motorbike thieves multiple times while I was scrolling roadside. Tense but kind! • October rain brought surprise coolness—rare for the tropics! Plus: zero tourist crowds (perfect for photos). 💰 Costs & Transport Hacks • Royal Palace + National Museum: $10 each. Pay in small USD bills (some give change in riel). • Killing Fields (Choeung Ek): Mandatory audio guide (included). Heavy but essential—takes ~1 hour. • Tuk-tuk tip: Book via Move app (¥27 to Killing Fields vs. overpriced street hires). 💡 Survival Guide for Newbies • Death-grip your phone—snatch-and-ride thefts are REAL. • Pack a foldable umbrella (monsoon rains and sun shield). Wear comfy shoes—you’ll walk a lot. Final Verdict: A mix of awe (palaces!), warmth (locals!), and chills (history). Next stop: Angkor Wat! #CambodiaTravel #PhnomPenhGuide #SoloTravelTruths 🌧️🛺
