It&#8217;s really just a 2-star hotel with the option to stay in a dorm. There&#8217;s absolutely no where to hangout or any backpacker scene.) Checked in with the Like hostel where I would stay for the following 3 nights in a dorm ($8.15). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hostel receptionist was adorable, she studied Chinese for 2 years so we chatted in a bit Chinese. She also gave me some recommendations for some local coffee shops. After booking a tour to the Cu Chi Tunnel (485k Dong), I decided to head out for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\"

Got up with a Vietnamese Ice coffee (40k Dong) to wake myself up. Took me a brief while to sort out the motorbike rental since the outpost doesn&#8217;t speak English and the bike had to be ferried from outskirt of the city.

There was another guy from the Netherlands who didn&#8217;t seem to do much preparation either. I managed to tag along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no direct buses (there were buses pre COVID), on the Vietnam side someone had to drop us off at the border and on the Cambodia side, someone picked us up. The tout charged us $20 for guiding us through the process as well as the transfers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visa fee was $35 US, though itself it&#8217;s slightly annoying due to the fact that the border crossing only accepts brand new bills. I just had enough to make it work for me and the Dutch who didn&#8217;t have any USD at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;tip&#8221; for the border crossing was $1. I probably could get away not paying, I just happened to have a few dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After an hour right, we arrived at the Durian capitol Kampot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.buyuchen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-184-768x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-735\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>First thing was to get cash and get a Cambodian Sim.

(7-day)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were extremely hungry at this point, the Swiss couple suggested this Iranian restaurant which we happily enjoyed ($10 with 2 beers, definitely on the pricier side)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We checked in our hostel at the Karma Traders ($6) and just chilled out by the pool and at the hostel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.buyuchen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-185.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-737\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.buyuchen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-185-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.buyuchen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-185-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blog.buyuchen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-185-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Food panda dinner delivery, I ordered a fried rice with beef jerky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Day 7<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Motorbike ($5 + gas $4) day to tour the Bokor national park!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Got up early (6am) but didn&#8217;t manage to leave until 9:30am.

Though, food cost was higher than week 1. I am okay with that. The highlight was definitely the Bokor national park. Overall, the cost of lodging and food are slightly higher in Cambodia, in part is the lack of competitions from family owned establishment might be a big thing. I also found that locals aren&#8217;t as engaging as ones in Vietnam. Good experience regardless.
