For all of you budding geography freaks, the Siem Reap area has been updated on Google Maps. Sadly, no Battambang yet. Wikimapia have also updated their Cambodian offering for Phnom Penh, with useful markers like the Office of Mr Hoanh Sa and the “Sun Family” home.
The map link below sticks a pin in Angkor Wat.

Gridskipper calls it “gastrocambogooglocartography“.
Maybe you should propose a food study, with tech talk like that you could bamboozle any number of NGOs.
Jinja
We could probably get a fairly detailed picture of that conk of yours on google earth, such is the size of your probisis.
(Yawn). I think he meant to write ‘proboscis’.
I thought that he meant “probiosis”.
what the fuck
Anyway Phil thanks so much for the Google Map update, the Khmer staff are shitting bricks over how cool it is to do 360 spins around your place of work or favourite karaoke joint.
Does someone from Google contact you about such things because you are such a bloggy sell out or is it just from absolute computer nerdom on your behalf that you know such things?
No, I’m not important enough for google to contact me directly, so it’s mostly nerdom on my behalf. Google Maps Mania does a much better job than me at staying up to date on the things people do with Google maps like mapping running with the bulls injuries or putting every junk food chain restaurant in America on a map.
I’m looking forward to when somebody tells Hun Sen that everybody can take a look around his backyard to see where he parks the helicopter. In fact, I’ll hand-deliver a six-pack of your choice of Klang to your home or other designated drop point in Phnom Penh if you can tell me where it is.
His Phnom Penh villa at Independence Monument, or the place in Takeo where he feeds political oppopnents and upity ex-police chiefs to the alligators?
Takeo. There’s no helipad at the villa near the Independence Monument
