'The raids on KK Park ... . But regional analysts say these are largely performative or target middling players, amounting to “political theatre” by officials who are under international pressure to crack down on them but have little interest in eliminating a wildly profitable sector.'

I’m not here for the temples.
I’m not here for Angkor Wat.
I’m here because this is somewhere I can exist, somewhere I can rent a room, somewhere that gives me a different perspective from mine. I didn’t come to see your temple, bro.
I came to get to know you, bro.
Who are you? What’s your perspective? I come human to human.
That’s my reason for Cambodia, the same as it was for Vietnam and Laos.
I just want to know you, bro. #siemreap #cambodia #perspective #expat #asia #human #connection

and i cant help but post one of my all time favorite pics of me, taken a few weeks ago in one of my favorite countries in the world: Cambodia
An early cool morning at Angkor Wat - after the green season comes the chill one
Current reports of weather in Cambodia tells of cool nights with temperature around 20 degrees and sunny days around 30 degrees Centigrade.
This is not unusual at all. Every December and January there is a short, cold season, where temperatures in the north of the Kingdom of Wonder at night drops as low as 16 degrees C. And gets up to around 30 around lunch.
It gives the temple area a somewhat colder feel and colours than usual, too.
Like the 8th Wonder of the World, Angkor Wat.
Four seasons
Sometimes it feels like some areas have even more than two typical seasons. Meaning more than the hot and dry season, or the chill and green season. Like Siem Reap and the hills and mountains in northwest and northeast, you get some weeks between the hot and dry season and the cooler green season in May-June. The temperature drops, and some showers during the week prepares the green season in July.
And then the cooler season end of November to January.
It all come down to where you are staying. The variety in geography, natural conditions and climate means there are areas where there are only two seasons in Cambodia. Like in the South. Travel north to enjoy the variations of four.
