Cambodia Gay Tour - Phnom Penh

 

Gay Luxury Tour of Cambodia Itinerary

Days 1 and 2 - Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Wat Phom Phnom Penh, Cambodia Gay TourSua s'dei! Welcome to Cambodia.

Phnom Penh is a friendly riverside city with loads of Khmer charm and faded French-colonial style. And while it's very much a place on the move, it retains a distinct and at times quite complex personality. Confront the tragic history of Cambodia on a visit to the Tuol Sleng Museum, before paying respects to the thousands of Cambodians who died during the Pol Pot regime at the Killing Fields. Then, take the opportunity to wander through the serene Royal Palace with its spectacular Silver Pagoda.

Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6pm on day 1, followed by dinner to welcome you to Khmer food.

You can arrive at any time as there are no activities planned until this important meeting; please ask the hotel reception where it will take place. If you can't arrange a flight that will arrive in time, you may wish to arrive a day early so you're able to attend. We'll be happy to book additional accommodation for you (subject to availability). If you're going to be late, please inform the hotel reception.

You'll be met on arrival at Phnom Penh airport and transferred to your hotel. Please advise flight arrival details at least 14 days prior to departure if you wish to have this transfer provided.

Royal Palace, Phnom PenhOn day 2 we visit the serene Royal Palace with its spectacular Silver Pagoda. Afterwards there is free time to delve deeper into Khmer history at the National Museum, hunt for silver and local crafts in the Russian Market or take a sunset stroll along Sisowath Quay. Indulging in a strong coffee is a Phnom Penh experience not to be missed - the caffeine hit should certainly fuel some independent explorations. Cambodia's capital is a friendly riverside city with loads of Khmer charm and faded French-colonial elegance. Confront this country's tragic past on a visit to the Tuol Sleng Museum and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek.

At the Choeung Ek Memorial there is a stupa made up of some 8,000 human skulls marks the site of the infamous Killing Fields. This was the execution ground for the torture victims of Tuol Sleng and standing in this peaceful setting it's almost unthinkable to imagine that to date nearly 9000 corpses have been exhumed from the area.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital, is set on a major junction of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers and boasts some fine examples of French-inspired architecture.

For those with extra time, consider a visit to Wat Phnom, a peaceful temple situated on a hill for which the city is named - according to legend, a 14th-century woman named Penh found sacred Buddhist objects in the nearby river and placed them here on the small hill.

Angkor Wat, Siem Reap gay tour

 

Days 5, 6, 7, and 8 - Siem Reap / Angkor Wat
Siem Reap gay tourFly to Siem Reap, gateway to one of the most significant archaeological sites in the world. Once the pre-eminent influence in South East Asia, the temples at Angkor were believed to represent the cosmic world. Discover the fascinating history and mythology of Angkor Wat, the Bayon and the jungle-clad Ta Prohm with an exclusive local guide. Marvel in the bask of a beautiful sunset surrounded by palm trees and rice paddies while you feast on a meal that you cooked in a private Khmer cooking class.

The small but expanding town of Siem Reap is the gateway to Angkor. It's markets are a great place to shop or to try some cheap, delicious street food.

On day 5 we leave our floating retreat and transfer to Phnom Penh airport and fly to Siem Reap, gateway to one of the world's most amazing archaeological sites. Built between the 9th and 13th centuries when the Khmer Empire was the pre-eminent influence in South-East Asia, the temples at Angkor were believed to represent the cosmic world and were set in perfect balance, symmetry and composition.

Overnight we stay in a centrally located 4 star Royal Bay Inn Angkor Resort Hotel with swimming pool (3 nights).

Angkor Wat gay tourOn days 6 & 7, we make the most of our visit to the world-famous Angkor complex with our local guide, temple-hopping from sun-up to sundown. The temples of Angkor were built between the 9th and 13th Centuries when the Khmer Empire was the pre-eminent influence in South-East Asia. The temples were believed to represent the cosmic world and were set in perfect balance, symmetry and composition. The intricately carved bas-reliefs and architectural designs are mind-blowing and there are spectacular photographic opportunities at any time of day. The ruins are scattered over an area of some 160 sq km, but the main cluster of temples is close to Siem Reap so we will have plenty of time to fully appreciate the great archaeological sites of Angkor Wat.

While in Siem Reap we participate in a Khmer cooking class. First at the market the Chef will explain to you about varieties of rice, fruit, vegetables and spices. You will have enough time to walk around and take pictures and watch vendors selling their products. During the class you will have a cookery demonstration of the dishes that you will later prepare. At the end of the day you will receive a booklet with the recipes of the day. Finally you can taste and enjoy your own culinary creation in a convivial Khmer setting.

Angkor Wat gay tourVisit the Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity (ACCB) - an Intrepid Foundation project that we support. This centre rehabilitates animals that have fallen victim to wildlife trafficking and is a breeding facility for highly endangered animal species. It's also a centre of education and information for the local population.

Enjoy a delicious khmer lunch with our friends at local organization, Sala Bai - a training centre that is working with disadvantaged family's to develop a career in hospitality.

There are no activities planned for day 8 and you are able to depart the hotel at any time. Check out time from the hotel is at 12 noon. If you are departing later, you can arrange luggage storage at the hotel.

Money
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping, participating in optional activities and tipping.

The official currency of Cambodia is the Riel (KHR).

Unofficially however, US currency (US$) runs the country and is the currency you should bring, mostly in cash. Clean bills in small denominations are most useful. Notes should be 2006 series onwards. Torn, dirty or old notes, as well as the $2US note will be refused in most businesses Traveller's cheques can be difficult to change. Visa cash advances are available in major banks, and ATMs are are now available in most towns with most dispensing both KHR and US$. The use of credit cards is restricted, mainly to major hotels.

Tipping - Cambodia
If you're happy with the services provided, a tip - though not compulsory - is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it's of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many OUT Adventures destinations. Although can be difficult to source we advise you to carry small notes of local currency each day to make tipping easier.

The following amounts are per person suggestions based on local considerations and feedback from our past travellers:
Restaurants: Local markets and basic restaurants - round your bill up to the nearest US $1. More up-scale restaurants we suggest 10% to 15% of your bill.
Local Guides: Throughout your trip you may at times have a local guide in addition to your leader. We suggest US $2-3 per day for local guides.
Drivers: You may have a range of drivers on your trip. Some may be with you for a short journey while others may be with you for several days. We would suggest a higher tip for those more involved with the group, however we suggest US $1-2 per day for drivers.
Your Group Leader: You may also consider tipping your leader for outstanding service throughout your trip. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline US $5-10 per person, per day can be used. Of course you are free to tip more or less as you see fit, depending on your perception of service quality and the length of your trip. Remember, a tip is not compulsory and should only be given when you receive excellent service.

In total, we recommend you budget approx US $10-15 per day of your trip to cover tipping.

 

Gay Cambodia travel

 

Departure Tax
In Cambodia domestic flights aren't subject to a departure tax, however international flights are subject to a US $25 tax. Check with your airline to confirm.

Cambodian Festivals & Holidays:
During public holidays and festival periods in Cambodia many businesses may close, transport may be extremely busy resulting in increased travel times. During these times please be patient and consider these moments as an opportunity to interact with the locals. Particularly worth noting is the Water Festival (3 days in late November).

Group Size
Maximum of 16 travellers per group. Departure is guaranteed, subject to 4 people travelling.

Your Fellow Travellers
On an OUT trip you will be travelling with other gay or gay-friendly passengers. We encourage open minded friends and family to join our trips. As you travel on a group trip you will be exposed to all the pleasures and maybe some of the frustrations of travelling in a group. Your fellow travellers will probably come from all corners of the world and likely a range of age groups too. We ask you to be understanding of the various needs and preferences of your group - patience with your fellow travellers is sometimes required for the benefit of everyone's travel experience. Remember too that you have responsibilities to the group. If you are requested to be at a place at a certain time, ensure that you don't keep the rest of the group waiting. We have found time and time again that the very best trips we operate are those where the dynamics within the group work well - this takes just a little effort on your part.

Please note that due to privacy reasons we are unable to provide you with contact details and any personal information about your fellow travelers booked on your trip prior to departure.

Single Travellers
Our group trips are designed for shared accommodation although a single supplement is often available for an additional charge. For no additional cost, single travellers share with people of the same sex for the duration of the trip.

 

All Gay Cambodia tour

 

Accommodation 4 star hotels/resorts (7 nts)

Throughout the trip we request that our hotels prepare rooms in time for our arrival, especially if we're arriving prior to normal check-in time. However, this isn't always possible which means we won't be able to check-in immediately on arrival at some hotels. Instead, we can store our luggage and explore our new destination. If you've purchased pre-trip or post-trip accommodation (if available), you may be required to change rooms from your trip accommodation for these extra nights.

Meals
While travelling with us you'll experience the vast array of wonderful food available in the world. Your group leader will be able to suggest restaurants to try during your trip. To give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat, generally not all meals are included in the trip price. This also gives you more budgeting flexibility. As a rule our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There's no obligation to do this though.

Meals Included: 7 Breakfasts, 2 Lunches, 2 Dinners

Budget for meals not included: US $300.00

Your OUT Adventures Group Leader
All OUT Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our gay or gay friendly group leaders. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. We endeavor to provide the services of an experienced leader, however due to the seasonality of travel, rare situations may arise where your leader is new to a particular region or training other group leaders.

Your leader will provide information on the places you are traveling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the places visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. OUT leaders aim to support local guides who have specialized knowledge of the regions we visit - and who better to hear it from than the locals themselves? If you were interested in delving deeper into the local culture at a specific site or location then your leader can recommend a local guide service in most of the main destinations of your trip.

 

Angkor Wat All-Gay Tour

 

Emergency Funds
