Bid FUDCon 2015 Phnom Penh/Cambodia

Brief Description of City

Phnom Penh, at the confluence of the Mekong and the Tonle Sap Rivers, is the capital of Cambodia and its largest city. The beauty that made it a 'Paris of the East' before 1970 is unfortunately well hidden, though there are a few French colonial buildings remaining. The wide boulevards and promenades envisaged by the French have become parking spaces and market stalls: pedestrians are not in favour. The most pleasant strolling is to be done along the park-like river frontage, which hosts cafés and restaurants aplenty. Phnom Penh is on its best ways to become again the Pearl of South East Asia.

We plan to host FUDCon together with BarCamp Phnom Penh ( http://barcampphnompenh.org ), which usually gathers more than 3.500 tech-interested people.

About Barcamp Phnom Penh

This two-day gathering at Institute of Technology of Cambodia (សាលាតិចណូ) is aimed at computer enthusiasts, Internet users, technologists, entrepreneurs, digital journalists, web developers and netizens to share and learn all things technology in a very open and democratic environment.

Paris - CDG - 870US$ Prague - PRG - 980US$

Boston - BOS - 1450US$ Raleigh - RDU - 1250US$

Visa:

All visitors, except citizens of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam need a visa to enter Cambodia. Visas can be obtained at Cambodian embassies or consulates. Visas are also available "on arrival" at both international airports, all six international border crossings with Thailand, some international border crossings with Vietnam, and at the main border crossing with Laos. You will need a visa type T, which will cost 30$. Visa are also available as so called e-visa - https://www.evisa.gov.kh/ which you can get via internet in advance. Only citizens of the following countries have to apply for a visa in advance: Afghanistan, Algeria, Arab Saudi, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Nigeria

Hotels:

Phnom Penh has a wide variety of accommodation, ranging from budget guesthouses (about USD5-20) to good quality mid-range hotels (US$20-50) to extravagant palaces with extravagant prices to match.

Local Transport:

Phnom Penh International Airport [1] (IATA: PNH) - airport is around 7km outside Phnom Penh city centre, costs for an tuktuk are around 7US$, for an cab 9US$. At night the prices are a little bit higher.

There is no public transport in Phnom Penh, this is mostly done by Taxis,Motorbike-taxis and Tuktuk Taxis forget about them,through the chaotic traffic situation they are slower as a Tuk tuk and also more expensive. There are some metered taxis available but still some un-metered are running, fares must be agreed in advance. Motorbike-taxis, (motodops or simply motos) should take you anywhere cheaply. A trip from Sisowath Quay to Central Market costs about 2,000 Riel (US$ 0.50). Fares are higher at night and with more than one passenger. Often little English is spoken. No helmets are provided. some rules for tuk tuk

Agree a fare in advance. Be clear whether it is for one way or return and in total or per person. Drivers will try to avoid losing face by not admitting ignorance. Therefore, "Do you know where this address is?" will always be answered by "yes". Put it to the test and show a driver a recipe, while claiming it's an address. Be patient and expect the driver to pull over mid-trip to ask passers-by for directions even to the most obvious of destinations. Don't leave possessions exposed to snatchers. Women are often targeted. The tuk-tuk drivers outside the Foreign Correspondent's Club are notoriously pushy and aggressive. Avoid them: walk half a block and hire someone else. If you don't want a lift saying "no thanks" generally works. Better still, try it in Khmer: "otday awkunh". Have small Dollar bills, bigger notes they can not often exchange large notes

For arrival and departure days we will arrange an fetch-up service from the airport, we will rent tuk tuk day-wise for that as that might become cheaper, a tuk tuk rented for a day costs around 20 US$

Eat:

Phnom Penh offers some interesting culinary treats not found elsewhere in the country. These include French-influenced dining and Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian dishes. Khmer street restaurant are also found throughout the city, where a typical meal costs 2-4 Dollars. Pizzas, banana pancakes and fried rice are always easy to find. The riverfront hosts everything from stand-up stalls to fine French bistros.
