Looks really good,
I am heading for cambodia in jan/february and want to do some dirtbiking.
So how can I meet up with others for a trip, and can I hire bike/gear in cambodia?

This looks so exotic, even compare to Thailand. Hunter Cashdollar

Hi Climbergirl,

Ja, ich bin Deutscher. Da Du gut Englisch schreibst wird es Dich kaum stoeren, wenn ich nicht in Deutsch antworte?

Btw, do you have any affiliation with Canada, as your email would indicate? Funnily I am currently in Canada, working on the conceptual part of my PhD before returning to Cambodia for field work in early 2007.

Yeah, I had amazing trips in Cambodia and some experience with the country. I am more than happy to share whatever aspects of my experience may be useful for you, if you indicate more specifically what you are interested in. Overall, I am sure doing your research in Cambodia would be a very rewarding experience. However, there are also serious constrains, such as the absence of libraries. For the most part, living and working in Cambodia is nice and easy.

For a starter, much general information can be found on the chat forum of Khmer440, with most patrons being expats in Cambodia:

Don’t hesitate to ask more specific question and I will try my best to answer, within the constraints of my fairly busy schedule.

Hi Stefan,

It looks like you had an amazing trip; it also seems as if you have considerable experience in all-things-Khmer. I am wondering if you are able to share with me some ‘local knowledge’ about living / travelling in Cambodia. I am a graduate student seriously considering doing my research there, mainly in Phnom Penh, but unfortunately I have never even been. So I am concerned about the actual logistics of living / working in Cambodia. I appreciate any advice you can give me.

By the way, sind Sie Deutsch?

Thanks!

great that you plan to explore more. Yes i’m from Siem Reap but my job has taken abroad. I normally go back home one or twice a year and hopefully during the next Khmer new year as well.

meanwhile enjoy your camping!

Hi Vireak,

Thanks for kind words. I am in Canada right now and the next destination is Algonquin provincial park in Ontario, for a 8 day canoe and camping trip through the interior of the park.

However, waterfall at the Laos border and Krovagn mountain in Pursat sounds at least as appealing and I am confident to visit these places after I return to Cambodia around next Khmer New Year.

You are based in Siem Reap and I would also like to travel the northeast of Cambodia more extensively so hope to meet you in person sometime in Siem Reap.

Take care,
Stefan

you journeys are great examples on how to get the best of Cambodia. So what is the next destination: Waterfall at the Laos border, or Krovagn mountain in Pursat, or some unknown territories?
