🇰🇭 Solo Travel Guide: Phnom Penh in One Day
"History, culture & sunset beers by the Mekong!" ✨ ⚠️ Safety First! Not ideal for solo travelers (especially women), but stay alert if you go. Keep valuables hidden – Snatch thefts happen! 🌅 Morning: Confronting History 1️⃣ Killing Fields of Choeung Ek 🏍️ 15km from city (rent a motorbike or take a tuk-tuk). 🎫 $6 (includes Chinese/English audio guide). 💀 Haunting but essential – The skull-filled stupa hits hard. 🏛️ Midday: Royal Splendor 2️⃣ Royal Palace 👑 $10 entry – Glittering Khmer architecture (like Thailand’s but quieter!). 👟 Walk 15 mins to Wat Phnom (or 5-min tuk-tuk). 3️⃣ Wat Phnom 🎫 $1 – Climb for city views amid praying locals. 🙏 Dress modestly (shoulders/knees covered). 🌇 Evening: Chill Vibes 4️⃣ Mekong River Sunset 🍺 $3-4 beers at riverside bars – Anchor or Cambodia Lager! ⛵ Boat rides – Haggle for the best price. 5️⃣ Night Market 🍧 Must-try: Coconut ice cream! 🎤 Live performances & cheap eats. 💡 Pro Tips Cash: Small USD bills (vendors give change in riel). Transport: Use PassApp for fair tuk-tuk rates. Heat: Mornings/evenings are cooler! #SoloCambodia #PhnomPenh #DarkTourism #MekongMagic 🌏
