Hotels  

Leap Viraksar Hotel.: Central and adequate.

Leap Viraksar Hotel.: Central and adequate., Kampong Cham

 planxty Says:  I stumbled upon this place by virtue of the fact that when I alighted from the bus from Kratie at the filling station, I could see it aobut 50 yards away, so decided to give it a try, and a good choice it proved. As I came into the complex I saw a number of trucks parked and... 

Mekong Hotel: Mekong Hotel

Mekong Hotel: Mekong Hotel, Kampong Cham

 Carino Says:  Mekong Hotel was the biggest hotel we stayed in all over Cambodia. It's located right at the Mekong River and is very popular amongst tour groups because of it's large size. The hallway is so wide you can easily use it to some team sports. However, the hotel can become very... 

Restaurants  

Smile restaurant.: Another good cause restaurant.

Smile restaurant.: Another good cause restaurant., Kampong Cham

 planxty Says:  The title of this tip may be misconstrued as being slightly dismissive, believe me it is not. In Lao and Cambodia, it is quite possible to eat almost exclusively in restaurants associated with various charities, and I am all in favour of that, although I do sometimes wonder... 

SMILE Restaurant: Tasty food for a good course

SMILE Restaurant: Tasty food for a good course, Kampong Cham

 Dent_Arthur Says:  I'm currently working as a volunteer for a nice small NGO in Kampong Cham, Cambodia. They've opened up a restaurant for vocational training and I thought you might want to have a look... Smile is run by the local NGO ‘BSDA’ as a training restaurant for former street...

Go local: Go local, Kampong Cham

 Carino Says:  We had food at our Guide's Home. What an experience! His home is a typical house on stilts with Bamboo Floor and natural air con. TV is run via a car battery and of course you eat on the floor. We had frog legs, fish, chicken curry, vegetables and pork. 

Mekong Crossing: Mekong Crossing

Mekong Crossing: Mekong Crossing, Kampong Cham

 Carino Says:  Mekong Crossing is just a few meters away from Mekong Hotel and nicely located at the Mekong River. It's run by a Western guy and offers a variety of western foods (Burgers, Pasta, Pizza) and Khmer dishes (Lok Lak, Amok). Service is rather slow, but friendly. At least they...

Mekong Daze.: Living on a reputation

Mekong Daze.: Living on a reputation, Kampong Cham

 planxty Says:  This place typifies for me the problem with guidebooks and the "cult" asociated with them. Basically, if a place gets into a guidebook, it seems to lose effort and live on it's rep. Now, there is nothing wrong with performing well enough to get into a guidebook and mine... 

Transportation  

Getting around

Getting around, Kampong Cham

 Carino Says:  Same as in other parts of Cambodia, you can make your way around on foot, bike and with Tuk Tuk. Since Kampong Cham is so small, walking is just fine. 

Bus

Bus, Kampong Cham

 Carino Says:  You can reach Kampong Cham via bus from Phnom Penh. Buses run every hour, the ride takes about 2 hours and cost around USD 2.50. The roads are in good condition. Alternatively, you can also take a bus from Siem Reap. however this takes about 5.5 hrs. 

Off The Beaten Path  

Bicycle Trip on Koh Paen

Bicycle Trip on Koh Paen, Kampong Cham

 Carino Says:  Rent a bike and take either the Bamboo Bridge (Dry Season) or the "ferry" to Koh Paen. Spend a few hours on this little island, visit a local school, get in touch with the locals and high-five the kids along the road.
