In reply to David Coleman. I didn't know about that toilet seat at the Ivy! And the site has always been here, it's just the newsletter that went dark for a while. :)

Anlong Veng is well worth the trip. I did it with three friends years back [2006] before they made the roads up. We went by moto via Beng Melea and stayed one night in Koh Ker and another in Preah Vihear. We then drove over to Anlong Veng and stopped a couple of nights. The pass north of town is spectacular, as are the views from the Thai border. Definitely see Ta Mok’s house and Pol Pot’s cremation site [hilariously there’s a casino just over the road]. When you get back to Siem Reap, round off the experience by seeing Pol Pot’s toilet seat on the wall of the Ivy Guesthouse. There’s a newspaper clipping on how it was acquired! So glad to see this website up and running again.
