I have written before about the pleasure that is is to travel around Cambodia: the lush landscapes, the constant learning with recent history and, above all, the interaction with some of the friendliest people I’ve been lucky to meet. After we’ve been to Cambodia, I’ve talked with several travelers who’ve ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/charming-cambodia/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/cambodia-visa-for-indians-and-anyone-else/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=cambodia-visa-for-indians-and-anyone-else https://bkpk.me/cambodia-visa-for-indians-and-anyone-else/#comments Tue, 25 Mar 2014 11:17:35 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=11722
We visited Cambodia in October 2013. On the way in, we flew from Bangkok to Siem Reap. Cambodia provides visa on arrival to Indians and most other nationalities. You need to pay $20 on arrival to get a visa that is valid for 3 months and allows 30 days of ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/cambodia-visa-for-indians-and-anyone-else/feed/ 16 https://bkpk.me/11206/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=11206 https://bkpk.me/11206/#comments Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:17:08 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=11206
  Peace begins with a smile, Mother Teresa   No matter where you go, don’t stress out if you don’t speak the local language. Some things are universal and, amongst those, a friendly smile is probably the most recognizable and warm way two people can communicate, no matter where.

If something can easily connect you to a certain culture no matter where you are in the world, that is food. When you arrive to a new place, trying the most popular local dishes is a great intro to the local culture and, in many cases, even an ice-breaker to ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/cambodian-cooking-class-in-siem-reap/feed/ 10 https://bkpk.me/what-should-i-have-today/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=what-should-i-have-today https://bkpk.me/what-should-i-have-today/#comments Mon, 21 Oct 2013 05:33:33 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=9857
We saw this little kid in a village near Siem Reap. He was walking and I tried to click his photo but, to the contrary of most local kids, he wasn’t interested in smiling and posing for the camera. I thought he was just shy, but then I realized he ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/what-should-i-have-today/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/trash-cans-in-rural-cambodia-are-cool/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=trash-cans-in-rural-cambodia-are-cool https://bkpk.me/trash-cans-in-rural-cambodia-are-cool/#comments Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:51:22 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=9789
One might not think at a first glance that a trash can has what it takes to make it as “Photo of the Day” – but, just this once, allow me to disagree. We’re in Cambodia right now and I’ve been noticing that the trash containers that we see in ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/trash-cans-in-rural-cambodia-are-cool/feed/ 4 https://bkpk.me/that-hit-the-spot/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=that-hit-the-spot https://bkpk.me/that-hit-the-spot/#comments Sun, 13 Oct 2013 14:18:02 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=9772
Just as we were entering the Bayon Temple in the Angkor Archaeological Park we found this little troublemaker digging in the trash can outside. He inspected a bunch of items which included waste paper, poly bags, coke cans, water bottles, etc. before he found a plastic glass with some liquid ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/that-hit-the-spot/feed/ 4
