After my memorable Small Circuit temple hop, I regained my strength after a shower and a long nap. The Cambodian sun was setting so I willed myself to get up and not waste any time to explore Pub Street and the Night Market. My only agenda though was to find a spa and get a massage!

I couldn’t hear their voices clearly nor decipher what their first song was. The fans’ screams were deafening. Manila just had to show them that it was crazy about PTX! Set list grabbed from Twitter. I can’t wait to see them come back to Manila for another show. I absolutely love these guys. Conquering Cambodia: Night Life Day 1.

My only concern then was how soon I could settle in my room to work. I couldn’t wait! They gave me a room with a view! Did I get to swim? This is my only complaint about this hotel...
