After long being the easiest destination in ASEAN for foreigners to obtain a long stay visa, the Cambodia government has brought the axe down on this practice.

Might take a while to implement though.

MAke sure you get a room on the 6th floor of the hotel only. The rest of the floors are absolutely crap.

Will I stay here again? Perhaps not. I did a recce of the Quay Boutique Hotel during one of the days, as Illusion had talked very highly about it. Definitely a much better place to stay for a few extra $$ Worth it.

Ohana appeared more of a backpacker and tour group kind of hotel when I was staying there. The 6th floor rooms are called "Residence " in case one wants to specifically book one on this floor. Also a room with balcony is to be selected during booking as not all rooms have one. The balcony does have a limited view of the riverside.

Decent hotel, on Street 148, just off the main riverside road. This is an old property, not very well maintained over the years. But at $50 a night you cannot complain much. MAke sure you get a room on the 6th floor of the hotel only. The rest of the floors are absolutely crap.

You can get a room with a balcony, if you want to smoke. The entire hotel is a non-smoking property. The rooms are pretty basic and have functional furnishing. The bed is just fine and the pillows are reasonably comfortable. The wardrobe has a safe, a small one. The bathroom is just about OK, nothing special.

They have a buffet breakfast on the rooftop and the spread is nice. At least the menu rotates everyday. One can sit and gaze at the river while sipping coffee in the morning sun. And take a dip in the wading pools there. The main pool is under renovation.

The senior looking guy manning the front desk is a bit on a asshole. He gave me some lame excuses when I asked for an extra key card. I returned later in the night and asked the trainee handling the night shift and she gave me one without any fuss.

Sorry FunExplorer I should have worded my post better. A few hours after applying works for me. I'm interested because I will be flying to Kuala Lumpur soon and was wondering how long it would take to get my eVisa if I decide to cut KL short and move on to PP.

I got my eVisa in 2 hours. You can also apply for a VOA, it's equally fast and efficient. The VOA is 30 USD whereas the eVisa is 36 USD.

Now this is important! Hate how each Visa run I take wastes a page on my passport.

Did you get your eVisa by email within a minute after applying? The site says it takes 3 days.

I did not say that I got the eVisa in a minute. I said I got out within a minute from the Immigration. By the way, I did receive the eVisa within a couple of hours of applying. It is hassle free.

Got mine within 6 hours.

Pro-Tip: When renewing a US or Canadian passport, the applicant can request a XL version with 52 pages instead of the standard 28 pages at no additional cost. That yields plenty more passport pages for jet-setters like yourself.

For those with more than one passport, one can simply switch passports each time entering a country, thus spreading out the stamps across multiple passports (except US citizens returning to the States as it is illegal for a US citizen to present any passport other than a US passport to US immigration upon entering the States).

. You also don't waste as many spare pages in your passport either, just the usual small stamp.

Hi,

Has anyone used this to get a evisa before landing in Cambodia / PP?

https://www.evisa.gov.kh/

Thanks.

Yes. I did recently in April and it is very convenient. The visa fee is $ 40. It will certainly speed up your exit. Mine was done within a minute.

Sammy,

Yes I have used the government site to get an evisa a few times and find it preferable, although a little more expensive than lining up at PP airport to get a visa on arrival. You also don't waste as many spare pages in your passport either, just the usual small stamp.

Thanks, just did it and was a doddle. Worth the extra $6.

Dear all,

Although I am a member for several years, I took notice of the price thread today only.

http://www.internationalsexguide.inf...hp?1083-Prices

The forum is full of posts complaining about increasing prices and guys asking for price information in paticular threads.

The price thread being a general one could be a very useful tool for all of us, so I would like to encourage my fellow mongers to put some recent info there. IMO it could be done in a brief way (widely practiced already) mentioning:

Country.

City.

Type of establishment.

ST / LT.

Looks of the lady X /10.

Performance X /10.

Price.

Link to your post.

Sorry for cross posting, happy mongering!
