Backpacking in Cambodia in the early '90s

I first visited Cambodia in October 1992. Back then it was relatively easy to get a visa (courtesy of Bangkok’s Khao San Road travel agents) but options for entering the country were limited to just two. You either flew in to Phnom Penh on an old Russian Tupolev from Bangkok or you travelled to the likes of Koh Chang in south-east Thailand and paid a fisherman to drop you off on the south-west of the country.
