Well,stop here to start? Call me a bit phobic, but I'd had just about all I could take of the lady-boy theme in Thailand and when Miriam announced that the name of our Siem Reap hotel was the Golden Banana I became, I was told, underappreciative of her travel arrangement efforts. "Oh, don't be ridiculous - it's just a name. This is Cambodia." "Precisely." I will never be able to forget the fine young male staff at the good old GB, nor, when provisioning and being asked where I'm staying, having to say "The Golden Banana," nor, when walking back through the GB's pristine gate with our laundry getting snickered at by tuk-tuk drivers. "Did you not learn with the Peter Pan?" Nice breakfast, though, I must admit, clean, and spiffy decor.
