 What not to do in Cambodia January 6, 2007

Did you travel around the world to pay high prices to hang out with a bunch of ill mannered tourists? If so, the Lonely Planet is for you. If not, throw the LP in the garbage.
 Everything you want in a travel book November 7, 2006

We just returned from a week in Cambodia. It was a fantastic experience made that much easier because we brought the Lonely Planet guide with us. It's lightweight and small. The book pointed out some cool places that not even our guide told us about - bar street! I've used these books all over Asia. Highly recommended.
Helpful, but you might want to hire a tourguide November 7, 2006

I visited Angkor Wat and Siem Reap in September. We hired a driver that pointed us to the right direction for 3 days, 2 nights. Although the book was helpful, if you want to know the vast history and symbology surrounding these massive temples, i recommend hiring a guide. Cambodia is very hot and humid, so trying to read the descriptions in 100 degrees weather while sweating profusely is not such a great idea. The book gives a good background and orientation of the area.
Great resource September 13, 2006
This had all that you would want or need out of a guidebook--helpful maps, ideas and descriptions, etc. A bit outdated, but that is to be expected with a country that is changing as quickly as Cambodia.
 5th edition not updated as it should be October 3, 2005

So I thought that investing in the most recent edition of this book would behoove me, but upon looking up one of the "author's picks," for lodging, I discover that he and Lonely Planet have not updated the book for the hotel's *price.* This is really important to me, as I work in non-profit and can't afford expensive digs when travelling.
The author and Lonely Planet state that Renakse Hotel in Phnom Penh costs $25-50/night. I understand that hotel prices change over time, but prices I bought this book fresh off the press last month. Prices at Renakse are now a whopping $76-100/night and they have been since the end of 2004.
The author's writing style is great, but you may want to pick up an older version of the book (4th edition seems just the same as this one when I read it before getting this one) and save the extra bucks.
