With over 90 players (and around 70 kids) signed up for the Kampong Cham weekend, we are going to set another record of attendance for this new player development event.
The sand and the combination with a mini hat tournament is probably part of the success together with the fact that we are meeting kids directly in their home town/province.
So if you are still hesitating about joining it, don't!... and drop us an email so that we could include you in the transportation and the accommodation list.
If you are in but you can't make it anymore, don't!... and come anyway! ;-) If that happens, drop us quickly an email.
Here is a overview of what awaits you next weekend:
Saturday (15/02/14)

02:00pm Mini Beach Hat on an island of the Mekong

Guesthouse Recomendations |
Notes |
Monorom VIP on Riverfront |
Slightly pricier than normal, but probably the nicest hotel in Kg Cham, which isn't saying too much.. it's on the main riverfront strip, great view. |
Leap Mongkol Guesthouse | away from the main riverfront strip, but right next door to Vicki, and in a nice Khmer neighborhood. Great Khmer food stand across the way |
7 Makara | further from the riverside, but has a small pool, rooms range from $13 - $17 . Rooms are quite nice. Even had one with a BATHTUB once!!! |
Mekong Hotel | Lots of rooms here, bicycles for rent, on the main riverfront strip. The rooms are decent. recommended for overall atmosphere, location, value. |
Mittapheap | Okay rooms, fair prices, near the Big Market. |
Da Ly | THE nicest hotel in Kompong Cham. About $20/night. But really beautiful, and brand new! A 2 minute walk from the riverfront, just around the corner from the (quite obvious) "KTV" |
Phnom Bros | A 6 minute walk from the riverfront. $6 fan rooms, $12 A/C. Still close to everything, and has their own restaraunt |
Mariya Hotel | Right next to Monorom VIP at the north end of the riverfront strip. Prices on par with the average. Rooms are kind of interesting. Many are not what you'd usually expect. |
