AROUND PHNOM PENH
There are several attractions around Phnom Penh that make good day trips. Koh Dach is
the easiest trip and is best done by mountain bike,
moto
or
remork
. The other sights listed
here are at least an hour by car and longer still by
moto
or
remork
.
The Angkorian temple of Tonlé Bati, Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre and the hill-
top pagoda of Phnom Chisor are near each other off NH2. You can easily combine two of
these into one trip (all three might be a stretch). These can also be built into a journey south
to either Takeo or Kep/Kampot.
Udong, once the capital of Cambodia, is a separate half-day trip and can be combined
with a visit to Kompong Chhnang, known for being a 'genuine' Cambodian town. Kirirom
National Park lies further afield, about halfway to Sihanoukville off NH4.
