Phnom Penh is whatever you want it to be. It can be the gracious host, showing off its points of historic and cultural interests like a regal aunty. It can be a family destination, with comfortable and affordable accommodation and locals who dote on children and have a smile for everyone. Or it can still be edgy and dark, flashing a darker underbelly of seedy bars, guns (if only at the military shooting range, but still) and the faint vanilla scent of drugs. But these are like the personalities of Sybil in this town?they cohabit this place without ever necessarily meeting, and more and more the tourists passing through here are wholesome young backpackers and middle income tourists who want a taste of a kingdom that has captured the imaginations of foreigners for centuries.

The war is over. Cambodia is a member of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and has taken its place in the WTO. That means the headiest days are also over. Ganja is no longer sold openly in local markets (and it is illegal), Cambodia is no longer a haven for pedophiles and the sound of gunfire at night is a rarity rather than the norm. The authorities would rather travelers limit their pursuits to legal activities, and they will arrest and jail foreigners who overstep the boundaries. However there is still a freedom and a joy de vivre about Phnom Penh that neighboring countries lack, and whether a night at Martini's after enjoying a happy pizza is your style, or a night of cocktails at the Elephant Bar of Hotel Le Royal or happy hour in the colonial atmosphere of the FCC, Phnom Penh will happily accommodate you.
