Sunset Victory Hill Bar Street

Common pictures during rainy season are those magnificent sunsets we get. This one was taken right outside The Look Restaurant and shows you what you guys are missing not being here in Sihanoukville. July and August are very good month for amazing sunsets, as the weather is likely to be half good half bad. For those of you who do not care about rain, well, The Look Restaurant is open during the entire rainy season, so don’t hesitate, just step in.

Sign: No weapons, No Hand-grenade, No Knives, No Cameras

Can you imagine that less then 20 years ago people in Cambodia were walking around with weapons? Can you imagine that shootings were on a daily occurrence 15 years ago? Well, luckily all that changed in the last 10 years and Cambodia is becoming a more and more safe place. I have not seen more violence in Cambodia for the last 2 ½ years I’ve been here compared to any other country I’ve stayed a while. Even though, signs like to one is pictured can still be seen around the country. So don’t forget to leave all your weapons at home before visiting me in Cambodia….

Robert and Family

„A Dream Come True“ is Roberts Boat-business and he offers very pleasant tours around the dozens of Islands we have on the coast line of Sihanoukville. This picture shows him, his Thai wife and his sister. His boat is a triple Decker, some rooms, a bar and of course some good music to entertain his guests. If you are advanced swimmer you got even the possibility to jump from the top deck. About 10 meters or so, so quite exiting. Those Boat trips are heading out every day as long as the sea permits. For bookings or more info as our Cashier.

Overloaded on the Road

This picture shows an overloaded motto which is heading towards the beach. Those rings are Truck / Bus inner tubes and are used for swimming on the beach. Having overloaded mottos crossing your way is a very common syndrome of Cambodia. You can not imagine what you can lift on a motto. Impressive transports I’ve seen so far where: a couple fridges, at least 20 cases of beer, couple pigs or cows, several huge bags of rice and of course furniture delivery, in those cases you do not really see the motto anymore, as it’s covered in chairs, tables and pillows…..Cambodia would be a good place for the Guinness book of world records!

Map of Victory Hill Area

For all of those who will find their way passing to Sihanoukville we've created a new map for easy location finding of The Look Bar & Restaurant on Victory Hill - Sihanoukville/Cambodia. The Beach is 5 minutes away, the Harbour is 10 minutes away and some Guesthouses/Hotels are just 1/2 minute away.

If you are looking for good food, cheap drinks, fantastic music, wi-fi, free pool table, live sports on tv, BBQ evenings, live music events and friendly staff, then you just have to head towards The Look on Victory Hill. See you there.

Islands of Cambodia

There are some stunning islands surrounding the Sihanoukville coastline. Believing in reports and local newspaper all islands of Cambodia have been sold to foreigner investors. Cambodia has a couple dozens of islands, some with turquoise colored beaches and lagoons. For the time being only one has been civilized. In other words on one small island they've build a resort/hotel facility on it. If reports are true, all islands will be accommodated with hotels/resorts, restaurants, villas, golf course, shops and more. It's just a question of time. With the global downturn, Cambodia got hit as well, all projects are floating in the air, but give it 5-10 years and Cambodia will have some amazing modern islands in their portfolio. I guess it will be worth it to check it out, so don't wait too long.....

Food is Ready

This is not how the buffet looks like @ The Look, even though it looks quite impressive. This is one of those food stands we have at the local market. Unfortunately I'm not capable of telling you exactly what they sell/cook, as I never tried anything of that yet. The Hygiene aspect of keeping/selling or cooking food is very much different in Asia as you can see. With delicately chosen products at the market, meat from a German butcher, Bread from a French Bakery and other stuff from the supermarket , you can create some delicious dishes as you can get @ The Look Restaurant and of course other places in Sihanoukville.

David & Denies (Tainted & Pale)

Two of my friends, two regular customers and two Businessman. As you can see one is tainted and the other is pale. David is an Ex-FireFighter from England who changed the stress of English life with the more relaxing way of work in Cambodia and opened a nice Beach Bar/Restaurant (Brown's) directly on Victory Beach. His business is not too far away from mine. Denie from Belgium runs a successful construction company and quality purpose wise he did a big part of the electrical installation at The Look. In case you would like to build something in Cambodia, that's the men to talk to.....
