Focusing in the city
Most of the towns of the town are located on the southwestern side of the peninsula, but not losing popularity Independence Beach (Independence Beach) in the north and Beach Otrest (Otres Beach) in the south. The city of Sihanoukville (more precisely, its part with hotels, shops, pharmacies, etc.) is not quite on the coast, but about a 20-minute walk (or five minutes of driving motodopes) from Beach Cleel Ochheuteal Beach). All basic services and places of urban infrastructure are located there, but the main institutions, such as Internet cafes and restaurants, can be found on many beaches of Sihanoukville.Street Ekarich (Ekareach Street) - the main urban artery connecting National Route 4 (you can say the road to the penetration) with the cleaner. This street passes through the city center, resolutely ending at Golden Lions Traffic Circle. From here to get to the cleaner and the beach of Serentipiti, you need to go straight forward, bypassing otres 1 and 2. And you can go to the right to stroll through an even more picturesque coastal road leading to the beaches of Sokha, Independence Beach and Victory Beach (Victory Beach).
Banks and ATMs
In Sihanville branches of most large banks stand side by side along Ekarich Street, which is in the city center. At these points, currency exchange is made, deal with cash checks, etc. All these banks have ATMs that work 24 hours a day. If you need to make money, contact Canadia Bank. - He offers a MoneyGram service, but in ACLEDA Bank. (135 Ekareach ST) You can carry out an operation via Western Union.

In addition, in many versions of housing there are computers for guests that can be used for a fee. In restaurants and bars, too, there are often WiFi. If your hotel does not have any wifi, no computers, go to "Kamreal" On Serendipity Beach Road: This is a real estate agency, where computers available for tourists are available.

Health care
Medical care in Sihanville leaves much to be desired, we will be honest. The level of medicine here is essentially worse than in Phnom Penh (and there is so-so level, it is worth noting). Therefore, all medicines take place with you, but if something serious (pah-pah) happens, evacuated in Bangkok or Singapore. And do not forget about insurance, of course.
Clinic CT Clinic (Borei Kamakor ST, 47) - a preferred medical center in the city. You can say the best of everything that can offer Sihanoukville. Among the proposed medical services in this center - computed tomography, ultrasound, ECG, endoscopic examination of the ENT authorities, ambulance, assistance in childbirth, small surgery, stationary chambers. On request, they can send a doctor to your hotel or guest house. Doctors in the clinic speak Chinese, in English, in French and Filipinsky, and in general, foreigners are most often addressed, so they know how to behave. There you can also help coordinate evacuation to other cities (or even countries) with more serious problems.
IN Pharmacie Pharmacie Chamroeun Chanlida At the crossroads of Golden Lions, on a turn with Serendipity Beach Road, there is a good selection of medicines, as well as toiletries and cosmetics, including sunscreen. Pharmacists in the pharmacy speak English and can provide first aid in the event of an emergency (for example, impose a bandage on the wound), well, and cause an ambulance. Pharmacy works every day, from 09:00 to 23:00.
Small, minimally equipped Pharmacy pharmacy Located in the middle of Otres 1 - too, it will be suitable in case of an emergency (it works every day, 09: 00-18: 00) / if needed Urgent dental care , CT Clinic recommends Dr. Nuon Voeun. , their dentist. His office is opposite the international clinic (at # 268 EKAREACH ST).
Police
Meetings with the police in Sihanville, as in other cities of Cambodia, better avoid if possible. However, you still have to interact with local police, for example, in the process of renting a motorcycle. Well, one of the main sources of income of local authorities - foreigners on bicycles / motorcycles (they actively write out fines or asking bribes). The best way to avoid meeting with representatives of the law is to streamline absolutely all documents, and most importantly, to chain Cambodian rights. Of course, getting such rights may be a troublesome event, but you will be helped by a relatively quick and painlessly make the necessary papers in the office Ana Travel . However, such measures are worth going only if you are planning a long-term stay in the country.
Most tourists prefer not to bother with these rights and just pay bribes that can be the amount from the dollar or a couple of thousands of rielels. As you can see, everything can be so scary and obliging: if they start to fill in all the documents and write out the "real" penalty, you will have to learn from $ 25. So, if you are going to ride around the city, put small bills in your pockets in your pockets So you do not have to even pull out your wallet if you once again stop the police. And yes, it is better and easier to tell the police that this money is in your pocket - everything that you have (so, it is easy to adjust the amount of the "fine"). By the way, when driving without real rights, insurance may be invalid.
To solve other unpleasant questions and situations, you will also have to learn bribes. Police earn (legitimate) little money in Cambodia - of course, these funds are not enough to contain a family (sometimes very large). Well, from a couple of given bucks you will not be meant, but maybe you will do a good deed for a person (if you argue in this way). If anything, is in the city and Police Department for Tourists in Center for tourist information At Serendipity Beach Road and 14 Mithona Street.
