We’ve been up and down Cambodia for the last couple of weeks – from the amazing Full Moon Party on Koh Rong Saloem (pix and video here) – to some proper relaxation in the jungles of Koh Kong, so apologies for the lack of event guides….
but we’re back, bigger, better and stronger than ever!

Ok, so lets have a look at this weekend – too many nights to mention here, so we’re going to concentrate on the one-off nights – for the full line-up with all the fantastic regular nights, check our events calendar
