South East Asia – Phnom Penh, Cambodia – 2024 – Part 26

I think we were in Phnom Penh two days and we did have an enjoyable time in the city, as usual, lots to see and things to do.

We went on a cyclo tour as well as a city tour on Tuk Tuks and a boat tour so we had all the bases covered! We saw a lot of the city, daytime and evening. We walked a lot too and as we headed to the Royal Palace, we walked past a temple so we stopped to take some photos. I should mention because I don’t remember if I have mentioned this in any of my posts, but it is stinking hot on this trip. It is always in the 40’s Celsius which to my American friends/readers would be between 104 and 118 Fahrenheit. I love the heat as does Clint, but there were a few times we didn’t love it so much lol.

  • Linda and Me, one of our tour group from Montreal
  • Marv and Clint, she is one of our tour group (and now a friend) from Edmonton
  • The road leading past the temple and to the Palace
  • A temple we passed on the way to the Palace

  • Some sights on our cyclo tour

That was it for Phnom Penh, all sorts of emotions were found in this city.

Next stop ….. Siem Reap, still in Cambodia.

You can see more photos at my husband’s website…. Clint’s photos

  2. I like the photo of you and Clint and each of you with other members of the group. That’s nice you still keep in touch with them? Since it is the same tour company, have you ever had “repeat” members on other tours? The Royal Palace is unique looking with all the bright yellow. You sure had your bases covered with modes of transportation, including the boat ride at the end!

    1. Yes, we have kept in touch with a couple of people from this trip. In fact, one couple from this trip, we were in Istanbul later that year. They were in Istanbul at the same time and we met up with them for dinner, which was really nice. The woman that was on our Kenya and Tanzania trip the year before went on this trip with us. 😊

      1. I think that’s nice that you often see the same people on your trips since you use the same tour operator. When I went to that once-a-year tour of a local lighthouse, I was joined by two busloads of people who “follow the lighthouses” and have Lighthouse Passports (like National Park Passports) for each lighthouse they visit. They use the same tour operator so they get to know people from across the U.S./Canada as they explore different states where there are lighthouses. They go overseas as well to visit lighthouses.

      3. Yes, that was news to me and this group of people were very nice, all retired as I recall. I have a friend whose married late in life and her husband has been to almost every lighthouse in the U.S. through the years and has his Lighthouse Passport too. So for his birthday or their anniversary one year they stayed in a lighthouse in Ireland. They had a great time.

  3. Susan, I’m glad you shared Clint’s photos – I enjoyed seeing his impressions in the album SE Asia Streets. Clint is a great street photographer! I was fascinated in your series of posts as to the colorful temples and buildings, but here Clint has a collection of people in colorful clothing, some native clothing, everyday people, one of your driver’s side profile, women doing Asian squats … all very unique to their culture.

    I also enjoyed Clint’s photos of the various vendors, especially the fish markets, somewhere I have never been, but I guess the market that really grabbed my attention is near the beginning (photo labeled no. 40) of the whole chicken, including legs and feet! I know you/Clint won’t go to the album to find no. 40, as you no doubt remember it. 🙂 All of Clint’s photos were enjoyable to see. You should put a link for each of your trips to Clint’s album.

    1. Yes, Clint told me I should put a link on every post too lol I have a lot of the same photos as him, but I don’t post them all on my blogs. We are usually standing right next to each other and taking the same photos of scenes/people. Sometimes it can be annoying lol
      But I will pass on your comments to him, he will be pleased to hear that others are enjoying his photos.

      1. Thank you for doing that Susan … I enjoy seeing street photography and Clint had quite a collection. That’s funny thinking of you standing side by side with your cameras – well if one of you misses the shot, the other one will have it on their camera card!
