Cambodia Links

Not the most comprehensive listing around, but if it's here, then I probably think there's something good about it.

If there's a site that you think should be listed here, let me know. Likewise, if something here doesn't work, let me know.

Discussion forum/Message boards

Here are several message boards devoted exclusively to Cambodia:

Khmer440 - an expat based board.

Poppalorn Board - low traffic, but quality.

Khmer Connection

Camweb.org

Cambodia Forums

All three of these have a lot of Khmers, the first, Khmer Connection, seems to be the largest.

Andy Brouwer's website has had a forum for awhile now. Not a lot of traffic but some quality content and some knowledgeable people check in regularly. On the downside are all the pop-up ads (Hey, Andy, you can get free boards that are ad free!) and the lack of attentive moderation which, combined with some very narrow political viewpoints from some contributors make intelligent discussions of, for example, politics, neighbor relations, etc, virtually impossible here.

Travellerspoint - travel forum though not limited to Cambodia.

What would it be if I didn't mention the Lonely Planet Thorntree - huge forum. Most questions should get a reasonably useful answer but there's still a lot of misinformed people posting what they think is correct information. Go to the Southeast Asia (Mainland) branch for Cambodia.

General information/Comprehensive websites

Andy Brouwer's Cambodia Tales - The author's travel tales continue to be an excellent source of information on out of the way places and rarely visited temples.
