After three days exploring Siem Reap and with our flight to Hong Kong only two weeks away, it was time to continue on to Vietnam. We booked a bus to Phnom Penh to break up the trip and find a couple breweries. We lucked out because we got the last two seats which happened to be on the nicest bus since Malaysia (and it still only cost $15 pp). We even arrived on time in the afternoon! This gave us time to find transportation to Vietnam for the next morning. The rest of the day was dedicated to brewery hunting. Online, Kingdom Brewery said that they have special tuk tuks that bring you to their brewery for free. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find any so we just walked instead.
When we arrived, it looked closed and the bartender asked if we were there for the party. We must have looked confused because he gave us a flyer: all you can drink plus a burger dinner for $12USD! We were sold. Their beer was quite good even with the limited variety of a light and a dark. As people arrived, we noticed almost all were westerners. We also learned that most worked at the US embassy! We decided to be social with some of the few locals in the room. But they were not typical Cambodians as they had both studied in America and one was working at the embassy. We had a good last night in Cambodia drinking and chatting about what it is like to live in Cambodia. In most of South East Asia we couldn’t interact with the locals other than watching so this was a bonus.
