Exceptional People (Cambodia)

While travling, you come into contact with many people, some nice some not so nice, but occasionally you meet people who go beyond the call of duty and just really look after you.

One such guy was Alan, the owner of Deva Raja Bungalows in Sianoukville, Cambodia. Firstly Cambodia has some fantastic beaches which are still to developed like the beaches in Thailand, so its still quite easy to find your own secluded beach.

Although we only stayed with Alan for two nights, we went to see home for advice almost daily, which he gave without hesitation. while staying at Deva Raja we felt more a part of a small family then staying at a hotel, i think maybe Nigel, Alan's dog had something to do with that!

Alan and his team. The dog, Nigel, was the most adorable thing ever!!!! :o)

So if you find yourself or are thinking about staying in Sihanoukville give Alan a call! check out the website .... http://www.devarajavilla.com/

Through Alan we made contact with Chinda, a Bruce Lee lookalike (when he wears his raybans!) tuk tuk driver in Siem Riep. If you are to visit the Angokor temples you will be visiting them with a tuk tuk driver, through experience it helps if your driver can speak and understand english, we had experiences where the tuk tuk driver can not understand that we want to go to the hotel etc, which can be a little annoying. Chinda on the other hand was very professional, always on time and reasonably priced. In Siem Riep there are a great number of tuk tuk drivers jostling for customers, so we thought it would be right to help Chinda out by letting potential visitors to the Angkor temples have his details.
