This post is written by one of our guest, Karl Granberg – Burnt out Punks.
We decided to go to Otres beach and DONE RIGHT after talking with Sam, (one of the owners). We just asked everything we wanted to know and Sam just said -Cool it everything you need you can find in town.
At first we were a bit unsure about going because we’ve heard about all the scams at the boarder trying to rip your money of your pockets. But then again we talked to Sam and he got us a straight taxi driver who’d take us all the way from the boarder or airport to Otres. And really, if you’re tuff enough to bring your kid on a 3-month trip through south east Asia you should be cool about handling some customs and tuc tuc drivers. The questions we did have, we asked Done right before we went here. And as a parent to a small baby there are a few questions and things you probably wonder about.
And you can find most of the stuff you need for your baby in town/Sihanoukville. Things as milk, food in cans, porridge, diaper and cleaning pads and so on. And best of all is that the kitchen staff will make a great Cambodian baby porridge if you ask them. I just asked them to not put any salt in it. And you will find out that the staff are crazy about children and are more than happy to babysit during your dinner ore if you’d like some time of reading a book or play beach volley. We basically didn’t have any problems, cause all we had to do was just to talk to any one working in the bar, kitchen or owners and things are solved.
Our baby also loved the four animals living in Done right. Never had a dull moment while watching Ninja the cat chase the two dogs Nalla and Baloo. The hen Mr. Bok b-gok was a more calm and kind of funny character to watch while she sits in the bar on a stool by the beer pump. And for ourselves we´ve missed our friends back home, but in just a day or so we started to hang with the rest of the guests. We kind of made the restaurant/bar as our living room where we made new friends playing cards.
We’ve traveled Through Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and now finally Cambodia. And this is the place we now felt that we should’ve started our trip at, and ended it before we go home.
If you thinking of going to a calm nice area close to the beach I can recommend Done Right at Otres beach.
Hope you have all of best at Otres and Done right.
I know Derek, Nova and Sam will make theirs.
With Laughter,
Karl
