The dry season to visit Angkor tourism utility Raiders

11 month I spent in Siem Reap most beautiful days of joy, on some ideas during travel or want and upcoming travel friends to share.

Best of season one, tourism

All the Raiders have said tour Angkor's best month is from November to February next year, because that time is the climate is dry and cool and dry season from March to October, especially in March and may, is the rainy season, climate humid and hot, you should avoid travel.

But according to the Cambodian people that August is the season for tourism at Angkor, beautiful, and visitors (especially when the travel team).

I chose a trip in November, one is considering rainfall, temperature factor, the second is the hope of drought, the rainy season when you see the junction to the Angkor rainy season the lush farmland, moist and soft, with a special charm.

In fact, I go these days do not drop of rain, but the temperature is too hot to really can, according to the guide said the temperature at 35-40 degrees. Just the kind of thermal sensation and Beijing's high temperature in completely different, there was the beautiful transfer my attention, or ubiquitous tree, moat, pool brings us a cool breeze wafting of the hot bearing, in short walk downstream in high temperature and do not have to too many bad mood, although always sweat.

Second, the Angkor area tickets

Angkor resort tickets priced at $ 3, visitors can plan their journeys.

A day ticket for $ 20, $ 40 for the three-day, seven days-$ 60. Ticket Office offers free photo service, you may bring photos (2 '' Photo 1).

III. essential goods

1, garment

T-shirt short-sleeved t-shirt, such as 4-5 o'clock at sunrise, you can prepare a thin coat of long sleeve.

Trousers pants, shorts, but at least to prepare a pants, for those who have steep steps of attractions, such as: Angkor, mountain nesbakken, tea, rubber Temple, it is recommended that you wear trousers as well, to avoid a possible clash at the leg injury.

TGC recommends more bands.

The dry temperature remains high, plus daily climb climbing lower, a lot of sweat, so basically need 2 day dress: morning, afternoon. Of course in Siem Reap's old market and the Angkor area there are many stalls selling t-shirts, the price is very cheap, about 1-3 $/piece, quality is also good. The pattern for the Angkor building, relatively unique. But note that you must not just for the sake of cheap, sweating, t-shirt will send flowers.

In addition, Siem Reap, the climate can be compared to the dry cleaning day evening clothes, generally the next morning they were dry.

2, shoes

Used, slippers, sandals, suitable for comfortable, daily run road legs may impact grinding out bubble, visit quality.

I'm in Angkor days basic comparison with mainly used with feet. But many Occidental basically wear beach shoes, should also be a good choice.

Climbing the Xiaowu, mountain nesbakken, suggested that used to wear.

3, rain gear

Although I am in the Angkor period did not encounter a rainy day, but the necessary rainwear or prepared, raincoat, quality slightly better compression raincoat is best.

The umbrella is not very useful, bad fit, not camera.

4. flashlight

Preferably with flashlight.

Mountain nesbakken sunset sky says black is black, the mountain road is not good, it is recommended that you use the flashlight. In addition, Tabou cage Temple also require the temples the darkness.

Wholesale sell manually charge can be a small flashlight, cheap and light.

5, sunscreen

From 7: 00 in the morning, the Sun is very strong, so highly sunscreen, sunglasses, along the visor is must-have items.

Parasols and umbrella, if not photography, then of course you can choose.

6. other

(1) mosquitoes do not bite: they say that in the southeast of mosquitoes, so ready ahead of time, but unexpectedly in Angkor was a mosquito or didn't see, very strange.

(2) a variety of drugs: treatment of heat stroke, brain fever, headache, stomachache, and conventional drugs and their required special medication (such as motion sickness pills).

(3) disinfection wipes

(4) camera, mobile phone, battery and charger

4. accommodation

Siem Reap city of various grades of hotel, GH abound.

According to personal means. Hotel more concentrated in the hotel Street, decoration is Angkor architectural style, more luxurious interior, clean and comfortable. We lived in Angkor hotel is a three-star hotel, but the service not less than four star rating.

V. travel tools

Siem Reap traffic overall pretty good, although the road is narrow, but also quite flat, didn't see the legendary red dust.

Motorcycle (single), TUTU (1-4 persons) is the most common means of transport to Angkor near scenic comparison applies, the price is cheap. Female Palace, high no bin, disintegrating mealea, distant, the traffic is not a good place to recommend renting Jeep Toyota Camry. Siem Reap city also has a rental bike, many Occidental have adopted such a relaxed manner, time permitting, will really be a cozy, romantic choice.

6. dining

In Siem Reap many of the restaurant, divided into categories: stall, restaurants, bars.

Meals personally think is very tasty. Cambodian cuisine is AMOKE FISH, Cambodia-hotpot, stinky fish, etc.

Siem Reap city stall, shabby, health condition, but is very cheap, the taste can be considered authentic.

In the scenic inside eating only a big, expensive.

Restaurant restaurant, Western restaurant, Vietnam food, Cambodia meal.

Tonle restaurant evening buffetVery good variety of local cuisine, Korea, China, fried vegetables, and more everything, the price is not too expensive, you can enjoy the songs and dances.

Siem Reap has bar bar street, about 10 to bar, here is a hilarious evening, you can eat, drink, play cards and read bands.

7. shopping

1, drinking water, snacks, etc.

Water is essential for every day, hot weather, it must immediately hydrates.

Best buy in the supermarket (General gas station nearby supermarkets more formal, and inexpensive), bottled mineral water in the supermarket to buy 0.5-1 us $/bottle, Cola, fenda 0.3-$ 0.6/a, in the scenic area becomes 1 USD/each. Snacks and commonly used items, etc. can also be resolved in the supermarket.

Scenic, roadside frozen coconuts Riel/2000, 1, $ 2, cool summer thirst again.

Siem Reap rich tropical fruits, approximately 2000-7000 real/kg, wax, Emperor banana, ginseng, Dragon fruit, watermelon, cheap and delicious, be sure to eat plenty of green products, and absolute.

2. tourist souvenirs

Siem Reap's old market a variety of local crafts, unique water cloth, scarves, Silver (matte silver), LP (piracy), CD, postcards, etc.

The price of water is large, need to drive a hard bargain. Silverware style, but most of them are very rough, Siem Reap airport extremely refined, of course, the price is high.

VII. other

1, currency

Cambodia common currency, the Renminbi non US dollar, the credit card also does not apply.

So be with US dollar cash, paying special attention to the dollar denomination with small, such as $ 1 $ par value, 5, domestic banks are convertible.

US dollar and the currency in Cambodia Riel is: US $ 1 price = 4000 Riel.

But commodities are generally dollars, only 1 dollar following change when looking for real, fundamental change in local currency is not required.

2. with regard to customs

Aircraft arriving and departing, you might encounter a customs officer asked for tips, absolutely not to him alone, he cannot be condoned, just when I didn't hear or understand, he need only be taken point formalities, nothing more.

But note that immigration documents must fill in complete, don't let him get to handles.

3, Cambodia is rich in history and culture of the country, therefore decided to go on there before it is important to have a certain understanding so you can exponentially during the journey.

If you do not know the story of the building took place, not understand every building styles, then wait for your only aesthetic fatigue.
