ROVING JAY

The heat and humidity of Cambodia make pastry making a challenge. But during our Workaway gig at Otres Beach it was one we finally mastered.

Who knew that I’d be learning how to make classic NY bagels in our outdoor Workaway kitchen in Cambodia! Now this is a skill worth having.

Part of our Workaway gig was manning a food stall at the Otres Beach Market, which gave us the best view of the live music stage.

Here’s a photo gallery of a collection of the sunsets we witnessed at Otres Beach Cambodia.

The Cambodian Rail System was shut down during the conflict, but some routes have started to open up again, so we thought we’d give it a go.

Phnom Penh’s Central Market is a centrally located Art Deco building in the heart of the city, and a shopping destination you should add to your Cambodian Sight Seeing agenda.

My top three sightseeing destinations included the bamboo railway, the Phare Ponleu Selpak: Circus, and the Battambang Provincial Museum. Find out why I didn’t do any.

The Pomme hostel, bar and restaurant has to be one of the coolest places to hang out for people watching, drinking and playing board games.

Before our cookery classes, we were taken for a guided tour around Battambang’s Central market to learn about the ingredients we’d be using to make our lunch

The Vegetable Amok was so good at About the World that we ended up going back two nights in a row.

Want to do a cookery class in Battambang? We did a class at The Nary Kitchen, and mastered the art of Amok, Green Mango Salad, and Spring Rolls.

If you’re planning a visit to Battambang, Bric-a-Brac would be my number one recommendation for overnight accommodation. Not just for the location, setting, and design aesthetic, but for the charming hosts who exemplify the “customer service is king philosophy.

One of the best ways to travel from Siem Reap to Battambang is via river boat. It’s a once in a lifetime ride, not to be forgotten … or repeated.

Joe to Go, just one of the sustainable tourism cafes operating in Siem Reap, which help local kids below the poverty line get paid to attend school and are given opportunities to work and learn English.

The last leg of our journey was a six hour layover in Bangkok and a one hour flight on Bangkok Airlines to Siem Reap on Plane Jane.
