Product Description
There's more to Cambodia than Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh! This revised and updated travel guide will take you on an adventure that winds through every province. It highlights sights and destinations far off the beaten track, many of which are still undiscovered by the typical tourist: the wild Cardamom Mountains on the Thai border, breathtaking Preah Vihear Temple in Cambodia's most remote province, and magnificent Boo-sra Waterfall and river gorge in the forests of Mondulkiri. This guidebook features government maps of every province and large city, along with 27 town maps surveyed by the author. A detachable map of Cambodia comes with the volume. Practical, up-to-date advice on how to prepare for a trip to Cambodia, from visas and vaccinations to airlines and border crossings, accompanies all the standard travel information--transportation, accommodations, services, safety, and sightseeing. Entertaining anecdotes from the author's own motorcycle adventures enhance this uniquely useful and engaging travel guide.

 Out of date, not all that great. July 27, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book I received in July, 2006 was published in 2004 - NOT 2005, as indicated. It doesn't contain contain any information that you can't get from other guidebooks - and the information on specific sites is sketchy. Maybe it is useful if you plan on touring on a motorcycle, but otherwise, there are more current guidebooks covering the same places more effectively.

I spent several weeks in Cambodia and this book was very
helpful. Of course things change so rapidly in Cambodia
that no travel book can be completely up to date, but this
book had helpful service and attraction information for
every town I visited in five provinces. I looked at some
of the other books available and this one was clearly
superior (although it would be nice if it had had an index!)
I was also impressed that quite a few Cambodian and western
owned bookstores and tourist businesses I visited in the
country recommended this book.

The only reason I am rating this book a 1 is to get my father's attention - Matthew Henry "Jake" Jacobson. I have not seen or heard from you in 10 years. Hope you are enjoying your travels in Cambodia more than you enjoyed your daughter.

Finally I found it on Amazon again! I bought this book and went on a 3 week motorcycle ride from Phnom Penh to Banlung and then a quickie trip to Sihanoukville. Every stop along the way, this book helped and informed me and my two friends. With the Rough Guide we had all the information we needed -- I didn't find the LP Guide needed at all in the end. Especially useful and interesting were the pages on the "Death Highway" in Mondulkiri. My copy got muddy and well worn; the sign of a good value and important guide, if you ask me.
Read this book before going to Cambodia! May 9, 2002

The safety tips are outstanding. In depth coverage of every region of the country. The only reason I didn't take it with me to Cambodia was that Lonely Planet had more phone numbers of places to stay and I lost the included map of Cambodia that comes with this book. If this book had had printed in it a map of the entire country, then this would have been the book I would have taken. Great read before going however!
