Hannostamm

Phone snatching is pretty common in Phnom Penh. I never used the phone on the street; if I have to use it, I duck into a shop or restaurant. You are unlikely to catch the perp and I wouldn't even try; he might carry a knife or a gun and no phone is ... Read More

My main hobby is running. Whilst this is easy in Siem Reap, where my home is, PP is a little more complicated because of the traffic. Only solution is to get up early, I try to get my runs in before 6 am when in PP. I also walk, lots. The only ... Read More

Does anyone know about volunteering for animal shelters in siam reap.

Hannostamm

Try ACCB, though I think they require qualified volunteers. Otherwise, search for Josette Vaneur, she looks after lots of cats and dogs at Pagodas. Read More
