Life in CambodiaI lived in Cambodia for about four of the last ten years, from July of 1995 to September 1997 and from February 1998 to February 1999, and returned to visit from February to April 2000 and to work from February to August 2003. NOTE: This is an OLD web page, last updated around 2005. I leave it up out of pure sentimentality. And because I don't feel like going through and updating all the links. If you're looking for modern, useful information, try this. Otherwise, read on...
[ancient] Cambodia links and [outdated, useless or wrong] infoWhen I left Philadelphia for Cambodia in 1995, there were only one or two Cambodia sites I could find on the web, and soon, this joined them as one of the early ones. Now there are too many to catalog. Here are some useful ones. The grand-daddy of Cambodia information sites on the net is the Cambodian Information Center, but some of the links there are getting outdated. Chhai Thach's Cambodian Internet Guide, a more recent entry, is well-organized and comprehensive, but also getting dated. Kampuchea Internet is another general site.For general information on Cambodia -- brief background, stats and so on -- try NationMaster or Wikipedia. The first Internet servers in Cambodia went on line in May 1997: CamNet and Telstra's BigPond, which has since evolved into OnLine. For some early history, read my articles on Cambodia and the Internet.
