Back in 1998, author Amit Gilboa wrote a shocking memoir entitled Off the Rails in Phnom Penh: Into the Dark Heart of Guns, Girls, and Ganja. It graphically details the sex and drugfuelled exploits of the city’s expat residents while simultaneously painting a picture of the intense political unrest during that turbulent time. Reading this classic piece of gonzo journalism today is startling, as Phnom Penh in 2019 – now full of high-rise buildings, upscale shops and restaurants, cultural attractions and glamorous hotels – would be unrecognisable to the depraved characters depicted in Gilboa’s book. Not surprisingly, the city’s modern municipal makeover has attracted an influx of both tourists and investors. By Bruce Scott RECOMMENDED: Hit the road and visit the Mekong Delta in Cambodia's neighbour, Vietnam.

In terms of Southeast Asia, it would be inaccurate to categorise Siem Reap as a place that is ‘off the beaten path’. The fact is, Cambodia’s second fastest-growing city has naturally been a tourist mecca for years now, ever since it became recognised by intrepid travellers as the de facto gateway to Angkor Wat. Despite this, however, this little city is more than meets the eye. In addition to nearby ancient ruins ripe for exploration, you can stay in some luxury digs, kickback with a coffee at one of many al fresco cafes, grab a cheeky pint on Pub Street, take in colonial architecture and get to know the remarkably friendly locals. Siem Reap has a lot to offer and you only need a few days to get the most out of it.
