The 10 Best Hidden Gems Things to do in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

June 14, 2021 Esmeralda Fenner

Budget-minded travelers will appreciate Phnom Penh's reasonably priced hotel rooms (several top-rated hotels on TripAdvisor offer rooms around $40/night). Explore the city's temples, palaces, and the remnants of its French colonial history. Just outside the city, the The Killing Fields (Choeung Ek) are a reminder of Cambodia's tragic past-- a somber contrast to the booming city of today.

I spent my Friday here and spend $500 USD here, shooting the well-know M16, AK-47, Type-97, PKM machine gun and also the M79 grenade launcher! It is really a unforgettable experience and I think this shooting range is the best you can get in Cambodia with reasonable price. The staff here is really kind. Since my M79 grenade launcher didn’t explode, they give me to throw extra grenade without charge! It is definitely cool! They offer me free transportation too and take me to the famous killing field museum, let me completely immerse in the Vietnam War and Cambodian civil war era..... If you want to have a exciting experience in Cambodia or Asia, come here! I am looking forward to fire the RPG-2 here in the future!

We had a completely amazing time - the chef who hosted us had very good English and 10 years cooking experience. We started off by deciding which meals we were to make with our fellow classmates and then set off to the market to source the ingredients. At the market he let us taste a few unfamiliar Cambodian fruits in addition to the ingredients we sought. He also went into great detail when describing the various fruits and vegetables we came across. We felt that he invested a lot of effort to immerse us in our Cambodian food experience. The cooking was really well instructed and the dishes were totally delicious. Couldn’t recommend more!!
