Cambodia Angkor Raiders

Last year 11 and her husband went to Egypt with, feel special and mysterious, magnificent, the whole people that are its building shook.

Back to the unit, with my colleagues about their feelings, colleagues eager recommended Cambodia's Angkor, saying that if you go there, before they know what is the real shock (but personal feeling Egypt and Angkor, not the same, Egypt is also great) from your own mind! on haunting Angkor, Angkor, from December began planning the Spring Festival of Angkor, online searching a lot of strategy, air travel and hotel information for cheap. Very unfortunately, first began to plan the flight ticket is not purchased, so hurry from ctrip booked 9 February Beijing 14 February return free line products, at the same time booked Phnom Penh to Siem Reap for Mae public express line. Ctrip scheduled product is relatively easy, no one will get. Following the first a Cambodian advance preparation of things:

1. visa: ctrip and travel agency to $ 300, we choose to go to the Embassy Office, just a 2-inch photos, passport, do not go personally, and $ 190 per person, 3 days later.

Cambodia Embassy Office hours, Monday to Friday, 9: 00 am-12: 00 pm-1: 30-3: 30.

2-for-dollar, to swap point change as the scenic inside mineral water (big bottle), pineapple, coconut, almost all of us $ 1.

Not-for-Cambodian riels, almost not make money on the dollar, dollar following find change is real. My husband and 2 people for 500 dollars, sufficient.

3, to buy books, didn't buy LP, go to the library building was bought a thrifty tours the world series, one of the Cambodian law, tourism press publishing.

Introduction of Angkor's cultural background, culture, history, presented the Angkor, Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville's important attractions, or yourself to Angkor, see it, is not well understood, let alone appreciated.

4, from online booking hire out drivers, first find a hung Meng-HO, speak Chinese, and mail in the past, that is when we go to Chinese Spring Festival, so 90 dollars, think you haven't.

Subsequently, from online to find a man named Mr. of Horm, speak English, send him a message, the same itinerary to 56 dollars, didn't want to set the proof of Melbourne not for money, almost all the price. Say good itinerary includes: from Mae public express received the car to the hotel, the evening sunset mountain nesbakken, second day of Angkor Sunrise, sunset, the third day, Royal baths Sunrise, sunset temple than grain, small circle, the circle and the Royal Palace. Since Mr. Horm has a home page on the Internet, businesses are particularly good, to the Siem Reap when pick-up knows that we are his subcontractors koy to a tuktuk drivers of the call. But it is nice to koy, frankly, the service is always with a smile, enthusiasm, the most important is driving a steady, know the deceleration compared to rows, there is a sense of security, not like some tuktuk drivers drive and sharp. You can contact him, email: bunkoy_driver80@yahoo.com

5. buy snacks, mainly bought some beef jerky, huamei, dried and to local children's lollipop.

6, carrying luggage: summer dress plus a thin long sleeve jacket, a few t-shirt, sweat too much per day; a pair of sports shoes, didn't bring slippers, mainly because the hotel has, if the GH, or to bring slippers; do with a scarf, tuktuk car package face, head, wind-proof, dust-proof; Sun caps, sunglasses, sunscreen, toiletries, paper towels, wipes, Saber, flashlight (see Sunrise uses on), maps, medicine (insect repellent, laxative, anti-inflammatory drugs, band-aid, stomach medicine, Chinese medicine, allergy medicine, actual useless), inflatable pillow, pens, books, camera, Tripod (preferably with a Sunrise, sunset uses on), digital companion, spare camera memory cards (very useful, last and husband went out together, the camera's storage card is broken, thanks to the extra card), battery and charger.

The last is your own documents, insurance card, the hotel's address, phone, telephone tuktuk drivers.

The first morning sitting SIA SQ811, 8: 45, 15: 10 to Singapore, Singapore and Beijing is no slack.

Reach is T3 terminal building, take the little train to T2 Terminal go Singapore win an airline's aircraft, flight 2 hours to arrive in Phnom Penh, Phnom Penh, 17: 10 local time, Beijing time 18: 10, Phnom Penh and 1 hour time difference in Beijing. Arrives, ctrip have pick-up service, will we sent to the hotel. We set in Phnom Penh is fuhua hotel, the boss might be Chinese, front desk staff will be Chinese. But the hotel's location is too remote, after the trip is not convenient to, but the hotel facilities also available. As a result of the comparison in the remote location, the hotel is out of the gate of the hotel, stroll to the city centre, no. We choose a rest, early next morning to go to the Grand Palace at the entrance and the Mekong River, take a look, and then sat 7: 30 in the Mae public express line goes straight to Siem Reap.

The next morning we got up at 5: 30, wash, 6: 00 for breakfast, finished just find a tuktuk car, go to Mae public express line.

The way we pass by big Palace, always along the Mekong River walk, walk and look. As the hotel location relatively isolated, tuktuk drivers to us $ 5, we do not cut or cut to Raiders of said price, in order not to waste time, we agree with the 4 dollars to Mae public express line. We have a minimum of ctrip free line party, sat Clippers to Siem Reap, has its own private to Siem Reap. Personal opinion or Mae public express better, we later in Siem Reap was by boat of several people, call them, because they sell the ticket is almost twice the number of seats sold almost station to Siem Reap, and not very clean. If the private good, than by Mae public express (Mae public express to 6 hours) for 2 hours, the car about 100 dollars, Mae public express 10 dollars per person.

Tuktuk to Siem Reap, the driver in the car waiting at the station management is also good, staff very responsible.

E.g. seeVisitors there is a problem, ask before on the initiative and help resolve the situation.

The day we watched the sunset mountain nesbakken, and to the old market ate the fish soup dragon of amok.

The third day, 5: 30 in the morning, the driver to take us to the hotel Angkor Wat to see the Sunrise, due to the small circle of attractions, the tight schedule, we chose to have lunch in the scenic course dinner venue is drivers recommended, so that he can get a free lunch, have a rest (driver is very hard).

Dinner we chose the soup dragon, the selection on the first floor to eat small pot in Cambodia, very good, he's small pot can only eat in a layer, the upstairs does not provide, to go to eat in the note.

The fourth day, I heard the bad weather, plus the small circle a naive is tired, he didn't go to see the Sunrise, slept gelanjue, by the way can eat breakfast at the hotel (hotel breakfast is 6: 00-9: 30).

Today the main walking circle, big ring attractions less, but getting up really is a little difficult, especially the tea gel Temple, hands and feet, it is in the wall climbing, requires some guts. Because today's attractions, back time earlier, we went back to Angkor, find a cool to sit idle, waiting for sunset and admire.

At noon or in the scenic spots and ate two conspired lives, a packet of instant noodles, to us $ 3, inside ginger fully half bowl.

I feel a small circle in the scenic area, eat, can save time, but also by the way, take a break, the price is also acceptable. But the large circle is really no need to eat in the area, or back to town to eat, or dotted.

Evening to Khmer kitchen restaurant online recommended pumpkin coconut soup tastes good.

The fifth day, female the Royal Palace, we start at 8: 00 practical prove too late, because the female Palace has fast 10 point, people, can't get super enjoy, regret!: back in town, went to the red piano, ate fish amok, Khmer Curry fish, taste good, recommended.

As off-boarding time, we visited the old market, buy a lot of good stuff, favorite is the wooden carving of Khmer smile, very good, only $ 6.
