2.0 out of 5 stars
Update needed badly, December 29, 1999
This review is from: Lonely Planet Cambodia: A Travel Survival Kit (2nd ed) (Paperback)
I spent a few weeks this summer in Cambodia and relied heavily on this book. While this may be the definitive Cambodian guidebook, it is dangerously outdated. So much has changed in Cambodia since the second edition was published in November 1996. Much of the basic information and maps are helpful but I would not rely on any of the places to stay reviews, prices, or schedules. The Cambodia section of the Lonely Planet SE Asia on a Shoestring has a more recent review and was much more helpful. Hopefully an update is in the works.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This book helped me get the most out of my trip., December 22, 1998

This review is from: Lonely Planet Cambodia: A Travel Survival Kit (2nd ed) (Paperback)
I used the first edition. It had so much important and interesting information. I wore its maps out, the finest maps available. There was no other source for the information. People living there didn't know what bank could get wire transfers. I left the book with NGOs in country for their use as a valuable resource. If you are contemplating any independant exploration your biggest help will be this book. How did they get so much information. They must have gone everywhere and did everything. Small country, small book I'ld have missed much without. WOW!!
