I arrive in one piece at the Amanjaya Hotel, right on the Mekong River, and it’s lovely! A quick unpack and freshen up, I decide on an itinerary for the next day and half: I want to see the Tuol Sleng Museum, the Killing Fields, Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda and, if time, the National Museum (which I am hoping is better than the one in Bangkok - I still won't live wanting to go there down)
Anyway, I head out about sundown time along the river, to find something to eat and drink: I fancy a beer. There are plenty of places to eat and drink here, and I look through my guide book for some inspiration. To be honest, I am never much of a fan of bars on my own – especially out here, and especially when the write-up says that “westerners are especially welcome”, which usually means all the locals flock around you, trying to get you to buy them drinks and then shag them.
I get to this market area, which is bustling, and I spy a local food eatery, which looks OK, and take a peek: seems relatively good, so I order the special beef spicy soup and a beer.
Delicious!
