Cambodian simple 7 rows

The trip a chance to have a lot in the past six years, accidentally see the papers the Angkor travel gonglue will also remember that in a week in Cambodia.

Still think you should remember not fuzzy time record of the journey, these years away so many places, but seldom used, and photos are also lost a lot, now I am sorry.

Cambodia, especially Angkor, not to have been fascinated by, because its mysterious and its reputation in the

Outside.

Early in the year 2004 I plan the Vietnam/Cambodia taixin Ma long distance travel, passports are EMS to Guangzhou in Viet Nam to check a consular post, but due to some personal reasons and that, after sweeping the entire southeast of Christmas of unprecedented tsunami, ultimately did not take place, this time to go to Thailand-Cambodia can be considered part of the completion of the travel plan.

First talk about the feeling of Cambodia, in General, is not very good, very bad, apart from Phnom Penh Royal Palace near the a little taste of the capital, the rest of the whole mess worse, especially the famous Valley of Lakes of million (backpackers clustered of) is called a chaos, in addition to GH concentration and the low price, I didn't see any advantages, the so-called million Valley Lake sunset is a General (not sure which haven't seen surface or are concerned about the guy in the blind speculation), this place if placed in domestic is a large pond in the country.

The dusk falls later, walking in the Lakes region of small streets feel surrounded by numerous double-greenish eyes staring at you, it is very insecure, but people keep up with you to chat and ask you to stop the car, you do not find the hotel, you do not want a woman Ah, Ah, in short of drugs is to off you get some money.

Some of the Phnom Penh people (mainly TUK drivers and hawkers) and speak to you or to sell you, for your attention, he will continue with the hand to touch your shoulder or body, a monkey in a hurry, this isolated limb contact really let my patience.

There is price, the Coachman and market traders no one will be reported to the net, you can rest assured to cut, cut into his anger or very reluctantly, shaking his head away, that's almost the same.

Even TRAVELAGENCY generation and buy the tickets, phone cards, all have price trap, dinner will run into bad faith thing, all in all it was full of lies and deception of the city, you must step by step carefully with this mentality here is hard to easily. Of course it is not absolute, not all people are liars in Phnom Penh, or many pure good youth. Man is born good, maybe the poor, or rather extreme gap (Phnom Penh street filled with lots of Toyota, Lexus luxury SUV, the rich or have visible) makes people feel the same, human depravity.

In comparison, Siem Reap is better, the scenic road and hotel building, locals also more friendly simplicity, of course, shopping, and car rental bargains too needs, particularly scenic area, it is better to remember.

The perspective from the play, Angkor VAT is required to or entire Cambodia's only worth a go.

But just because the Phnom Penh, the capital of privileged position will attract people to, in fact, both are ornamental degrees or comfort level is not high, this is a very difficult to give you what good memories of the city. If you are just seeking a relaxing travel experience, but also want to experiment with different life, then you can go to Phnom Penh, once also sufficient. As for King Sihanouk, have time doing okay to take a look at it, but don't press too much hope that this city would not be a classic.

D6 September 26th Bangkok-Phnom Penh

Flight delays, four points about hasn't to Phnom Penh, cloudy and muggy.

Phnom Penh airport to my impression, a small, entering the terminal building a few steps to GATT, inspection, and customs and then a few step from the airport.

Second, the airport does not have a large area of glass curtain wall, interior wall that are painted with its Royal Palace similar bright yellow, and commonplace those grey metal and glass curtain wall of large airport, is a small and unique.

Always heard that Cambodia airport officials sacked, queued clearance when I chose a female officials, women's skin to be thin, perhaps excuse me for money.

Sure enough, she didn't open the mouth, just check my e-Visa is some doubts about whether to ask senior officials behind. However, I have the complexion looks to female officials unfavorably, before I was a foreigner, the women of Nadel laugh and foreigner talk for half a day, it's my turn to pass up on Chinese passport expressionless face off, went. However, this service is also a lot in China, see the foreigners on deadly compatriot not good lianzi, servility.

Just the customs, there is a taxi driver to lanhuo, 9 dollars to urban areas, I asked how rose, not $ 7? he said not long ago appreciated.

I forbid him and excess, and did not pay him, out of the terminal building, the parking lot, were various driver Wai, car, motorcycle, TUKTUK, I do not worry, let them struggle with quotes, anyway, 5 7 block 6 block block, I do not open a counter-offer, because the heart did not end, simply do not know how much the also cannot blind openings, I casually to not accept to go, let them after I take the initiative to talk, last 4 knife, open TUKTUK motorcycle guy worry price 3 knife. I say, a knife. TUKTUK suddenly turned to go, but the old man also very dedicated motorcycle he kept saying, 3 3 Cutter knife. I have to assume there's a more or less, say 2 knife, motorcycle old slightly a hesitation, agreed. (Later I and local TRAVELAGENCY Buddy Chat 2 knife fares, his eyes over a surprised, it is estimated that this should be the price floor. ）

From the airport to more than ten thousand Valley Lakes, just hit kilometers evening rush, no car, motorcycle, TUKTUK, seems not to see the bike, it is a mess, urban landscape than expected worse, no tall buildings, are all two or three storey house, the street side shops is no decoration, very depressed.

I sat in the waltzing, motorcycle pillion, whenever you turn on the encounter light questionRows with a lot of people especially children curiosity I, I also looked at their zestful. Cambodian human skin deep dark, chocolate, mostly plain, but there are also some nongmeidayan, deep-set eyes, facial features beautiful, I do not know are not some France origin of doping.

More than half an hour later, the Lakes, and imagine a completely different, first leave the main road, arrived at a Bardo, turn, narrow streets of the geologice hazards in constructing quli is estimated to have slightly larger point of truck can pass, but here is the famous Lake District, the so-called wanco's backpackers ' paradise.

Both sides of the bars around the streets, small restaurants, small grocery stores, travel agencies, in depth, close to the Lake, where there is a GUEST HOUSE.

Look up next to the Lake's SISTER, NO.9 outermost room is inserted on the shore, there is a nice open view, with ear-music, here is a line of Lakeview, just the Lakeview is characterised.

Because it is not a season, room cheap, rely on water that is 5 knife for one night, but there was no air conditioning, while the temperature or 30 degrees, sultry night. Furthermore the ground floor of the Lake, it is a paradise for mosquitoes, has heard that these regions have the potential to spread malaria mosquitoes, dengue fever, can not dare.

Then go to the next one, seems to be a GREAT VIEW, anyway, there are specific GH more or less the same, which is not important, it is a three-tier houses small building renovation, room is very small, facilities very poor, it is a bed, even to hang clothes of all, the only advantage is that there is no air conditioning, floor, later discovered there are mosquitoes, and attacked.

At that time is not want to live, but people with strange, it's getting late, didn't do well in advance and other preparations (too believe that some of the older generation on the Lakes of highly), can only hurt a little. 8 a night, it's really cheap, it is very bad.

Finishing slightly, go to the top of the toilet balcony restaurant, not a guest, read menus, Western-style meals and local meals are, the price is not low, fearing that are cold, taste is fresh, it will be discarded.

Go has dark, small streets, street light, dark, only diffuse out of both sides of the bars in dark lighting and noise music, go to main street, the pedestrian has not much, no supermarket, no decent restaurant, remember the night alone hearsay danger, do not dare to go far, go in a circle, it returns the Lakes alley.

Grab a small restaurant in, it did not point to a characteristic AMOK, a small hotel, not worry about the craft had destroyed the first impression, and think of acquired and friends in Siem Reap and eat the sea can be found on the mountain after a drink, then point out their own favourite refreshingly shrimp, a bowl of rice and a can of beer.

The shopkeeper is a pair of sisters twenties, the eyes are large, Apex is very flat. During dinner, people keep coming in peddling, fruit, bread, piracy is the most ridiculous of the LP, is a selling opium, we actually carrying dark for a few packages. Soon after came a young men should be the owner of a friend, and I talked, asked me to go to play, is actually think I sat in his car, I said probably land asked quotations, evasive, say a reason why, it is estimated that is not a professional driver, just a little extra money. Check out accidentally saw eye restaurant gate Billboard, found at HAPPYHOUR, free beer at a tank, but just now I drink the beer she is counting the money, the money is in theory after reluctantly back, doing business who will turn around.

Then go to a TRAVEL AGENCY inquiries go to Siem Reap tickets and phone card, a friend is in Shanghai booked by Mae public express 10 knife, in fact, many companies do, expensive 12 knives, cheap 8 knife, because the decisions of the second day, go to the city centre, so there is no set down on the spot.

However, in calling card or be fooled, AGENCY clerk to the telephone company's friend recommended to me by a sharp phone card how to how to value, there are calls in the card, in addition to open additional sent after 50% of the count down is not expensive, open card revealed that there are extra charges, later discovered that the sending of the call can be used only to in-network calls to make international long distance. And found that when I have the habit of being questioned in Siem Reap, call the kid a, yesterday he became smooth and haw.

Back to the room, carrying fresh from AGENCY where the Phnom Penh travel Handbook (should be the official publication of free travel guide, very thick one, full of restaurants, hotels, attractions guide) research for a while, pick a location, the price is right GH.

D79-Phnom Penh

The next morning check-out, in a small street be repulsively driver stopped, plain, I cut to 3000 Rui, take me to the city centre of the GH, see the room, spacious, clean, TV, air conditioning, bathrooms, very satisfied.

Open room, on a map, then walk to the Palace not far away, in a snack shop points a bowl BEEF NODDLE, it really was boiled with instant noodles, see food shop operation room heap with a big bag of unpackaged of instant noodles.

After the trip is the Palace — (package motorcycle) killing field — prison Museum — National Museum

In the meantime there are two episodes:

1 in a Palace, a group of visiting local students (junior high school or University), one should ask and I had, I thought these things only happen in a beautiful body, I am a big man was awarded the "prize", very interesting.

2 driver halfway back, set off from the Royal Palace, to kill farm, and then go back to the prison Museum, the Royal Palace.

When I first came to the prison Museum, he asked me for money, leaving the United States, said that he still has a lot of business to do, I delayed too long. My Halo, I care enough already, before you confirm the departure time and again, but this can also be backed out, too rogue. After some theory, and finally, he agreed to take me back to the Palace, but qualified as I finished the tour of 40 minutes or in view of the Museum with money. This is in Phnom Penh encounter unpleasant forThings.

(Phnom Penh)

These few are common sights in Phnom Penh, hurry, then everyone can all get, however, not every place is worth a go, personal thought since the Phnom Penh Royal Palace to go take a look at the side of the Museum building is different, beautiful and distinctive, the collection is not rich, scale as the National Museum, a very small.

Kill venues where only the out-of-the-way, has killed many people, but also because of a movie whereas fame KILLINGFIELD que, actually now can see is a pile of bones and some graphic presentations on that period of history does not know or are not interested, there's no need to go. By contrast, the prison is watchable Memorial Hall, because it now except no prisoners, other are basic has maintained the original three-year teaching buildings is the third building prisons, walk through the classroom into cells, although outdoor afternoon sunshine, still think that down the spine.

Attractions in the vicinity at the end of the street around, there are some good store, bought a colorful short T and GH in pants, back rest, is four o'clock in the afternoon, it started to rain, rain is not small, little pedestrian street, the umbrella walk alone, the air becomes cool.

See a travel agency on the way to go in and talk about, because it is Sunday, very few staff, but very warm reception, know that I want to buy tickets, call me asked, saying that it is too late, and may not have time, and that I can buy directly to the station, and the pointing direction.

Go past it, see what's waiting hall is a platoon leader in front of the ticket window, a small square, mess stopped all kinds of passenger cars, at the oilfree, unexpected window as long as 6 knives, this should be the people sitting in the bus, and confirmed the venue and travel time, seems to have and those who travel the fast lane also almost.

To buy tickets, go to the nearby central shopping centre, a grand scale, from the outside looks like a huge yellow UFO, go after the disappointment, it is a commodity wholesale market, are low level things go in a circle, one can make me want to say anything without inquiry, to the CENTRAL MARKET's fiction or is that it's customer base is local people, not for our visitors.

D8-D129 — may 28, 2 October, Siem Reap-Angkor

After several days of trip very general very classical, 28 morning bus to Siem Reap, arrives and friends meet, sunset mountain nesbakken, sunset is good, but people are really many, once is enough, it is difficult to understand someone willing to go there every day crowds.

After three days, Angkor 3, the first day in the morning to Angkor, Sunrise, countless people in the dark fight to electricity, with a headlight, moat, entered the scene quite spectacular, the capital city.

Unfortunately, cloudy yet, but wait when the atmosphere, the mood was very memorable. On the night of the typhoon, storm, after two days of shuimanjinshan, runs almost always walk bare waded.

In Angkor as specific courses, I think is covered in detail in the Angkor Wat is a very difficult to describe, amazing, wonderful, magnificent, shock ...

There are many, many, but not a Word to accurately express. Wasn't it is better not to say, I think when we face it, everyone has their own unique feel and do not have to look at too many other people's comments, or are you going to the heart.

(Angkor)

The fifth day, the early aircraft left Siem Reap, fly to Kuala Lumpur.

Ride to the airport, the morning sun flooded the streets after the rain, on the way there are a lot of water into the River, the TUKTUK had aroused poured down of underwater. The sky is blue, the air also swept the sultry few days ago. Goodbye, goodbye Angkor Siem Reap, maybe one day really also goodbye.

TIPS

Phnom Penh: Cambodia travel preferred Siem Reap, Phnom Penh if the tight schedule, not worth mentioning.

1 live: not recommended million Valley Lakes of GH (especially girls, there live less secure), environmental, facilities, and further away from the city centre, the transportation.

Unless you want to save money or love to suffer. In fact, many of the city centre, 20 beautiful knife GH room is good. I live in that House GH from Palace, station, not far from the central market, within walking distance.

2 day tour: Palace Museum will go far to see the building suffice, killing field road far can discard, prison Museum is worth a look.

Central market don't go, (it is better to wait until the Siem Reap shopping, where market more targeted), not far away is a bustling shopping street, busy, the estimate is the only commercial centre of Phnom Penh.

3 transportation: airport to the city centre by taxi 9 knife, allegedly unified people rarely sit TUKTUK, MOTO, 2-3 passes.

To kill farm motorcycle 4 knife back and forth, a little expensive little TUK. City traffic motorized 3000 Riel.

Go to Siem Reap's coach have many choices, you can buy the GH, cheapest themselves directly to the bus station (the central shopping centre nearby) to buy, 6 knives, 6 hours.

4 communication: Cambodia buy phone card required local ID card, so you can't buy directly to the carrier, if there is a tour guide to show his identity card to buy, you can find a TRAVEL AGENCY on behalf of the buy, the price is slightly expensive, I bought the international long distance 15 cents a minute.

Many Internet cafes and some of the GH also has Internet access.

Siem Reap:

(Siem Reap with pictures)

1 live: the old town are many GH, inexpensive, 10-20 cutter has, many have their own Web sites, to set before, will come to pick up.

Hotel is generally in the North, close to the scenic highway, the choices are many, 60 cutter can hold four star, but far from the city centre, it must be by car.

2 day tour: relatively speaking 3 ticket is the most appropriate, 1 day too hasty, 7, suitable for those professionals, most people look at

7 days is a waste of time as blind to see. People think that if it is private (non-TUK), in fact, it is sufficient for two days, my favorite is Angkor, BA Rong Temple, Lung Poon pool.

3 line: we pack a Benz minibuses, 25 a day, than the TUKTUK is also much more expensive, it is the latter speed and comfort second to none, or recommend the trip.

Go to the airport, private TUKTUK 2 knife 10 knife.

Because the city is very small, city traffic TUKTUK General 2000 real.

4 the price of food: restaurant vis-à-vis the local revenue is very expensive, but it is also acceptable, to order food, 5-8 per person.

Go to two Khmer kitchen (KAUMER KICHEN), business is good, taste bland. Nearby there is also a beautiful decoration of similar Haagen-Dazs ice cream parlor, doing road, egg cylinder 1.5 beauty passes a, the first day went exactly get promotion, buy one get one, eat very crisp.

5 shopping: beauty in general the higher price, you must be the owner doesn't allow: refrigerator magnets price 2 knife a friend offer to a 1 knife, bought three.

Finally I take a knife 3 1.

Central market thing a lot, water cloth like a 1 knife, other do not remember, anyway, there is also a great bargain, in short without a price.

These are I can think of some information about Cambodia travel, wish I could be helpful to friends.
