Mad Monkey Cambodia vs Thailand
We’re an Australian couple in our late 20s backpacking SEA. We’re very social, love a drink, and honestly not that fussy when it comes to hostel conditions if it’s a good spot.
In Thailand we stayed at Mad Monkey Phuket and kind of decided against any future stays with Mad Monkey, as it was completely dominated by 18 year old UK/Aus boys getting suuuuper drunk and being c*nts at all times, and the hosts were really pushy (totally get it’s their job but imo when you’re already partying and someone is desperately trying to make you buy a 3rd bucket, it’s an anti-vibe).
That said, now we’re making our way to Cambodia starting in Phnom Penh, and there doesn’t seem to be many social hostel options other than Mad Monkey so we’re considering it as maybe we were just unlucky last time.
Is this a good idea, or am I just gonna wind up feeling like a chaperone on an all boys school graduation trip again? Or can anyone recommend other hostels in Phnom Penh?
Thanks!
