Ratanakiri is hard to get to for anyone. We didn’t spend much time there, but the main activity was renting a motorbike and biking out to the beautiful lakes and waterfalls. I would go for the nature, it’s incredible! So wonderful after Siem Reap.

(the world said ‘never again’ after the holocaust, but genocide happened in cambodia, then bosnia, then rwanda, etc..)

i tried to balance my trip by doing both…some days are difficult (volunteering, or going to the genocide sites) and then other days are relaxing (sihanoukville, kep). if you go with an open mind and heart, i think you can still enjoy your time in cambodia. =)

also, it’s helpful to carry benadryl and EPI pen if you have food allergies. =)
