Help for a couple of fuddy duddy's

This site is so helpful when planning our little adventures and I need your input again!Flying to Bangkok February, spending a few nights there and then into Cambodia, then my problems start - intially I thought coach to Siem Reap for 3/4 days then back to BKK then maybe Koh Samui for a week or so then back to BKK for journey home but now I%26#39;m thinking 3 days SR, maybe 2 in PP, then some relaxing time in Sihanoukville, (bit worried about some of the posts, how safe is it for a couple of mid-fifties)or should be we make our way back into Thailand. Any forthcoming advice will be much appreciated.

What exactly are you worried about, and where?

Mid fifties is young young, and if the usual safety precautions are observed then I would say you would be very unlucky to have any problems.

My husband and I are in our mid 60%26#39;s and we took our first trip to Asia this past spring. Never once in our 5 week trip did we have any sense of unease for our safety. But, as noted by bethspoon, we took our usual precautions and didn%26#39;t venture out after dark to lonely/questionable places. Cambodia, and Siem Reap, were the highlight of our trip.

Take a look at our recent trip to Cambodia to see what this mid 50ish guy got up to.

Siem Reap, Phnom Penh %26amp; Sihanoukville I considered all to be very safe. Even the police that stopped us were quite friendly and accepted a reduced fine payment with a smile.

Happy %26amp; safe travels

Thanks for the comments I sound like a complete wuss don%26#39;t I, I was reading something involving a gun, a scooter, a policeman and 2 females in a 4 x 4 in Sihanoukville. We%26#39;ve had a few trips to Asia and fortunately met with very little trouble and we must enjoy it as we keep going back!

Still can%26#39;t make my mind up about the route though.

Please don%26#39;t let my police comment have a negative impact on your travel plans. It was nothing at all.

We were in the wrong, no helmet, no bike rego etc and a after $1 fine each we all departed smiling to each other.

3 full days in SR, 2 in PP and a few days as you suggest in Sihanoukville sounds great. Make sure you do the half price happy hour cocktails at Raffles Hotel in PP.

Happy %26amp; safe travels

If it is any consolation I am the same age demographic and have just done 13 days in Cambodia (your itinerary is similar to what I did) and I was travelling solo. No problems at all. My only suggestion is to shout yourselves a flight from Bkk to Siem Reap. I never spoke to anyone who complimented the road trip. Also, when at Sihanoukville make a point of checking out Otres Beach.
