I think your view of Cambodia really depends on your style of travel. And unfortunately, I think we were unlucky most of the time. Border crossings are a bit of a hassle, but only if you don’t want to pay the bribes. Haggling for taxis can be confronting if you don’t want to be ripped off. It’s much the same for hostels and tuktuk drivers. Luckily our tuktuk driver was somewhat trustworthy and always gave us a better price than others.

So although we didn’t have the most pleasant experience with the locals, I still enjoyed it.
