Hmm.. capital city of Cambodia with some development going on. For my opinion, its standard of living will be better than Siem Reap. A suggestion to visit both Siem Reap and Phnom Penh and you will get the different feel of them. It's a nice experience though as we took an air-con Express Bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh within 5-6 hours due to the condition of the bumpy road along the journey with a short break. The bus fare ranges from USD6 to USD 10.
Nothing much to shout about in Phnom Penh except for the Tuol Sleng Genocide Musuem/Killing Field (the cruel Pol Pot), some western restaurants at Riverfront (lot of choices for your selection), Royal Palace & National Museum (good recommendation by many).
I think photos are better than my words here :)
