Winter Khmer (2)

4: 15 minutes in the morning, I woke up in a Dim, pulled a grooming, I creep out the door. Today TT not to look at sunrise, sleeping beauty sleep. In order to Angkor Sunrise, my skin AH can only make some sacrifices. To ROBBY, Tintin and STELLA is already there, it seems that the lure of sunrise or cats. At our request, the hotel gave us prepared sandwiches, we can go to Angkor on the way to enjoy our breakfast, somehow, I and TT two sandwiches into a fried rice, little to eat a few bites to no appetite, fixated car window, outside or in a dark, but TUK TUK from time to time and the car drove from our side, there is no doubt our destination is consistent, that is the Temple of Angkor. Far a moat, a second line of the ticket, the Angkor Temple of five seat Santa has downtown…, symbolizes the Khmer people the dignity and glory of the past. Although only around 5: 15AM, in front of the large square had gathered numerous visitors, including a short gun Lance "seyou". The main hall on the Central Avenue in front of people is too much, I and STELLA went to flank and found a stone walls leaning, waiting for the sun into the air. The ceiling was so thick I STELLA said maybe today do not see the sun rise, but there is still hope in the heart ... Finally hope just hope that the sun rises overnight is very high, thick clouds completely obscured the xiaguang, hearts cannot but disappointed, had to comfort, as well as tomorrow. On the left side of Central thoroughfare with a Lotus pond, golden light shining on Angkor, reflection in a pool, pool Central light Purple Lotus or open or close, very beautiful. entered the Angkor, this is not what we usually think of "the Temple", more like a castle .800 meters "relief corridors", carved Hindu Mythology, even before I read some of the Hindu, but really to the front, have to admit that I know much too little .800 metre promenade just like a too fine books, we have to lament its profound, Huan Milano MI, it depicts the content is poorly understood, muddled. Continue upstream, came third steps, step-at first glance there are terrorist, almost vertical angle and surface (75-80 degrees), our four-step Southeast Northwest are observing a little, think it's North of stone steps and wear smaller, easier to climb. sacred and not everyone is able to tread lightly, so the top of each level is extremely steep. each order surface width only around, and stone steps 15CM of order and order high have been ground into arc. step about 15 meters, no handrails straight through to the top, nor can the buffer, but how can we not entering into the Baoshan? bite, can only be hands and feet, like a crab-like carefully, step by step climb to the top of the Tower, sometimes persistence is a spirit. Finally, the highest point from a height overlooking the world's largest Hindu architecture, this ratio, the size, engraving on the outfit's human masterpiece. sometimes wonder, what religion on human's role is, those who work in mountain too high (more than just architecture, painting, music and literature), the number is not affected by the religious influences and self-contained? The next step, and is a different person falling process, all visitors are concentrated in the West bench, because only there on the left hand side there is a thin handrail borrow force. when in the second layer encountered TT, SAM has just received her to, and my battery has been like myself really oolong, obviously has two yesterday full of good energy saving, but only with a power-saving out, anyway, I just started the TT or back to the hotel to get the battery. Noon STELLA said that wants to try Khmer food, we all agree, found online and "LP" is mentioned in the "ARUN RESTURANT", little shop, food's taste can also order little brother-is very smart, 11, 12-year-old appearance has begun to help home restaurant business, order a mold making, checkout our demands separate settlement also four Bill makes clear. Back to the hotel, we decided to find a Chinese tour guide, or else to say the entire trip was to see, know nothing of Taiwan. Hotel Manager first describes a young man, but he hopes to use his car, but we have already talked with SAM for three days of the trip, the person cannot make the results he introduced us to one of his female colleagues, love beautiful Xiao yang.

Trip totally changed, go look at Brolo's group (ROLUS GROUP), it's complex, enjoy the "Khmer art" beginning of Fame, when we got there are very few visitors, and the morning before the Angkor abuzz sight stark. Brolo's largest and most important temples are BA Kung Temple (BAKONG), a Hindu temple, where it is said that there was a three-person joined statue, is the Hindu God of gods pishinu and his two wives of idols, but when I took the may blooming on the photo in question, the tour guides Xiao yang idols had been moved to the Museum go to Phnom Penh and is he Ngau-Temple (PREAH KO), Brolo's group of another important building, dedicated to the Hindu another great God Shiva, there are three head Holy cow guarding Tower Group around the temple door frame-engraved with ancient Sanskrit, Xiao Yang said that in the Cambodian monks now, if you can have a few of the Sanskrit has Barolo-shiqun's last major attractions is the Rollei Temple (LOLEI), is the Hindu Shiva's paradise.

Spot dot UC Te (BANTEAY KDEI) is that we go to Angkor in Buddhist temples, narrow doorway, is one of the top four statues, mottled old but still dignified silence overlooking the mortal, the temple was a quiet, Central Temple Tower and surrounding promenade has collapsed, looked up and chirping sound coming between the tree tops. somehow very fond of this temple, perhaps is the name of the temple there is a "Daisy", "Dai" this character very good points out the temple stone

Color. BANTEAY KDEI, the opposite is the film "Baraka" Sunrise shot to Royal baths (SRAH SRANG), is the old King's bathing place, may be missing from the map, the entire orders was mediocre, since the baths of our planned Angkor on the third day in the morning is here to see the sunrise. so we stayed there for a while and left in to Tomah en route according to the temple, we pulled in a stone (SPEAN THMA), it is said that this is the only one of the Angkor ruins of large stone bridge, impressive is the stone bridge on the edge of a deep-rooted trees, branches, roots extend a long, tree Central has a large section of the old tree, night sight was like a skull, this time it's getting late, a cold wind blowing and the other person not cold and Lek.

Today's final two temples Tomah Lennon Temple (THOMMANON) and Zhou tevoda (CHAU SAY TEVODA) are but a hundred meters, on both sides of the road to face the separation of powers, with the Hindu temple, even the building layout and structure are almost identical. for us, Zhou tevoda more cordial, maybe this is because as the temple restoration work is our Chinese technicians. for conservation is poorly understood, only know that a "repair the old" principle, see the Temple of the large and small in the stack, there are many not yet feldspar polishing, it appears that there is still a difficult restoration work on the way to go.

Dinner is in THE RED PIANO solution, old market not far from a two-tier red cottages, external and internal walls are painted in red, you're going to be warm but not brilliant red, points out the characteristics of FISH AMOK in Cambodia, is said to be a Minister in Tonle of fish, meat and fresh-FISH AMOK in truth is a little disappointing, fish, wood, no fresh tastes, resembling the child eats rubber fish. on the first floor of the aisle have anghilina. Julie at the film Tomb Raider, eat in the shopkeeper's photo.

Itinerary suggestions

We own is from Bangkok to Cambodian, originally wanted to be on the ctrip, results not yet granted under the holidays, so you can only do a backpackers (if the bag of gold is not very close to it or set ctrip):

First day:

14: 55 in Shanghai in the afternoon, the afternoon to Xiamen, the procedure of leave

Xiamen direct flight to Bangkok and from ticket (Asia aviation): 2946 Yuan/2 person

After arriving in Xiamen airport first, then go to ADB's counter for boarding card (2 hours before take-off to start), wait for 20: 30 to go to Bangkok flights (Asia aviation sister empty least very nifty)

22: 45 (local time) arrived in Bangkok airport, check out the customs formalities I only remembered and her husband: back to Shanghai to after Thailand (must immediately after luggage checkin and do), so check back to get to the airport check-in Office back office enquiry, only know in airport Office back check departure ticket/required boarding pass, and we are going to land on the border of departure can be done, because we have no baht (do check back to use) only in the airport for baht (our nightmare began, because I only brought husband 500 USD).

1 US dollar exchange rate, the airport: 33.80 baht, 100 dollars can only swap 3380 baht (money, if you are outside can wrap to 4200, students later if you want to go this route, first in the country for some baht), go back to check cost 2 2040 baht/person (1020 × 2). Since the airport to the bus station is very close, we at Bangkok airport waiting for time to come. Wait until 2: 30 or so I set off and her husband, had wanted to call guest rental after, results didn't find empty (since I know you are on the 4th floor looking) can't we went to the rental station, and scheduling that know where to go, and then he'll call a taxi, my husband to listen to their conversations with a few words after the taxi driver smiled, my husband just didn't feel quite right, because he laughed very ambiguous. We got into the car again stressed the need to go, give him a map and then set off, not my husband might expect the driver to take us to a hotel, and later he said don't understand us, and pretended to look at the map says he is not clear that a half-day he returned again, eventually take us to the North bus staion. We asked him how much money he speak to 400 baht (again being robbed money) I and my husband does not promise that this 10 minutes he opened the 40 minutes, and finally to 220 baht transactions. Now is 3: 32 minutes, we at 30, window buy tickets to Aram 414 baht/1 person (207 × 2), the results of late 2 minutes missed the first bus, you can only buy the 4: 00. Lasted six hours after arrival Aram.

Second day:

Coach good, fairly comfortable, I fell asleep, and you feel your car several times, it was up and down, come to Aram, revolver soldiers boarding check, check, including our several alien's passport, the arameans, a small town called a TUTU, 80 baht, 10 minutes after arriving at the border, there are very passionate people take you to go through customs in the customs of the places you can go back and check (6 bed, a very good man, 1020 baht per person is paid), the Customs (walking alien channel, do not have queue) after the entry into Cambodia, then, we have not come across to extort bribes (because we are in Shanghai for Cambodia visa), immigration procedures quickly, after we even really into Cambodia.

Then we met have led us to handle customs formalities, they said to go to Siem Reap long-term Charter, we can offer 60 dollars a person, good thing I have done with her husband, up to 40 dollars and long-term Charter, we made the owner doesn't allow us to 37, in which case the transaction is 12noon, take the bus to the taxi stand, they want us to make money online ", we saw first hand the money will go wrong, so we adhere to the back pay, they finally agreed.

Next the road really worthy of the Dancing Road. Open the full 3 hours finally arrived in Siem Reap, although we already have 25 hours awake, but excitement is difficult to express in words. We ask the bus driver to stop at the specified GH-golden temple villa, the payment of the fare is $ 37, and feel that the driver can also drive fast cars, and also gave $ 1 as a tip. Drivers happy. Before you Email us and contacted out of the driver, and so clearly a 15 minute Chen Ming came with TUTU, this hotel is only 15 dollars a room, the room is too small, almost the only bed, very depressed, we do not think that is good. Chen Ming is recommended, that you can take a look at bad can change, so we went. Rithyrin villa and restaurant, close to the old market, 12 dollars a night, have air-conditioning, hot water. The room was spacious, very satisfied, he said that if lives uncomfortable you can swap GH. At this time is 4 pm, Chen Ming day something he recommended his friends sent us to the Angkor buy (buy tickets for three days), and then to the mountain nesbakken, tickets to watch the sunset in 17: 00 and then start selling, and therefore they had to go.

+ Passion + Khmer

Remember the United States national geographic once the Angkor group rated as ' life should go 50 parts ', but I was longing for it Dim come from middle school English textbooks on it's a documentary of the article, I was not too much text attempts to construct a picture in my mind, Angkor Wat painting, this also more reminding me on the mysterious Kingdom of unlimited reverie.

After so many years managed to get what they want, this is why when I'm in the car the first real glimpse of Angkor was moved to the corner of almost to tears. always some things but not very long, but came to the Khmer Rouge is one of my long time dream.

I really don't know how to describe this place, its exquisite, spectacular and easygoing and does not require additional ornate vocabulary to describe-if he is a living, it should be a clear fix novice, I have been without him in the heyday, war, disappeared, forgetting to meet with the world again, although it is a vertical drop of slums, an old man, but the spirit and grace are still infected every members.

Day is not lit, pounded the mists. I in Angkor quietly waiting for a new day, a long time since I so enjoy sunrise. the calm water, first do by feeling the meaning of this word-sky start white, purple haze gradually ran to the sky, then becomes pink, pink, next is a rather long wait, a red Sun from Angkor Tower corner rising, just quietly up climb, they Marvel stretch. I have ever seen the mountain Sunrise, sunrise at sea, they are so lively and exciting, basic is jumped out of the horizon, but here is completely different, it is so quiet, you simply ignore any feelings. in my thought, Angkor VAT is jungle forest cover empty when the Sun is in this way every time the gold sprinkles here in every corner, thousands of years, has become its two mutual engagement!

I lovingly exquisite carvings of walls, it is really hard in feelings-not far from the end of the long corridors of the UFOs have collapsed, intricate sunshine through the dark clouds. tall trees to their own seed Foundation into the temple, one-walk in the meantime, have lost their own souls! just wanted to forget everything and start again! free sat on the stone breaking from the book, daydream, chat, thoughtful .... you can think of ways you can relax in a very special atmosphere and find ways to release.

Khmer smile, long seen <五月盛放>, the book describes moving people with feelings, had to let the spirit of taken you charm each other to come here-but it's no mistake that BA Rong temple on Simian pagoda in the symbolic smile Boda and warmth, you can't forget, or say you never forget it slightly upwards lips. I looked at the surface of the Buddha full trance a several minutes. can what to say? this is human religious history and the perfect combination of personal consciousness, I really have nothing to say.

Women's pink sandstone was cunning use of all efforts chasing a complicated and delicate pattern of abnormal, should use the stunning more appropriate. every stone, every small place are not spared. I really see the open-mouthed. possible and it is only comparable to a bar Dunhuang Mogao grottoes.

Cambodia this country suffered too much too long and tortured, but local people especially local children the simple kind eyes slightest any killings and blood gas. they just for very small business or makes a living by begging, whenever a lens on them, they will immediately assumed a lovely shape, I'm really sad. unfortunately I brought candy too few, we can help them by too little.

These days I just came back from work, flush finish photos one after another without any anti-Gu's deep into the past week's memories is an impulse. Chief: wanted immediately on return to Angkor travel.

Shanghai aggressive high-rise buildings, dazzling white in the Sun, crowded streets, harsh noise ... ... ... ...

And so I have enough of it all when I once again go to Angkor in search of Fame begins ...

Cambodia tour of small experience

This time with tours to Cambodia, the stroke is arranged by travel agency. So there's nothing good about the trip, said that some small experiences. Angkor-Angkor Sunrise: Sunrise definitely shouldn't miss. To see the sunrise at Angkor perimeter, or you can climb the tower to see Angkor. As to see to see the sunrise on the postcard printing the entire landscape of magnificent Angkor, depends on personal luck. I went to cloudy days, so I saw a few wisps of morning light poured in Angkor. But I don't feel sorry. I was in to Angkor in the morning to see the sunrise. Sunrise original is not in the trip. Due to the insistence of BESSY, Tour finally agreed with item 4: 30 in the morning to get up to go. About 5: 10 car quite in the moat of Angkor, we get to walk through a total of more than 2000 meters long corridor, through two ring walls, to get to the city of Angkor. On the road in addition to our group, who are not only a stray dog wagged its tail, has been following us. The surrounding darkness, only I and guide the flashlight. Against the weak light flashlight, everybody felt marching forward. Already in the long-awaited, Angkor Wat, but couldn't see anything. Away more of 1000 meters, arrived at the first line of the walls, dark to see the outline of the giant towers. Through the first line of the walls back then, walk to see both sides of the fence at the ends of the tall stone sculpture tilted, look like the head of a Cobra, also some huge stone beside. Angkor is increasingly in the dark and mysterious. In the second circle Tower two Lotus pond, there are already some people sit in the reeds waiting for sunrise. You can also go through the second tower, the Tower on Angkor. But the second tower to 6: 00 before entering. We sat on the floor of the Lotus. Around 6: 30 pm, the sky a bit pale, then peeking red haze from Angkor shot behind, Angkor real appearance as gradually clear. Angkor in the morning of Toro, the entire architectural rendering black, quietly standing in front of us. Solemn, quiet, no violation. Afternoon we went to visit Angkor, morning that make people feel in solemn twilight crowded tourists around. Angkor sunset: Angkor's sunset is the most travel agents will arrange items, our mission is no exception. Watch the sunset in Angkor side of the mountain nesbakken. 5: 30 to the foot of the mountain nesbakken, Sun was very low. So I quickly started to climb the mountain, lest missed sunset. Mountain nesbakken is not high, I think it is only 100 meters. But got up to is not simple, because there is no road. The so-called road is being trampled by tourists. All hands and feet and with a climb. Finally climbed. The mountain has an abandoned ancient temples, along the steep stair climb Temple platform, you can watch the sunset. Reach platform, is already a huge crowd, good location already occupied. Finally found a better location when the Sun is also started. Say the truth, I really didn't think sunset mountain nesbakken what is so special. Also no later in Phnom Penh independence monument at sunset. The guide that you can see the mountain nesbakken Angkor Rizhao. Do not know my location is not good enough, or my eyes is not good enough. The Angkor is not too clear. Cambodia's snack: Cambodian fruits very rich, especially green mango and papaya. You can open the stomach to eat more. Another very common roadside snacks are various cooked insects. Common water cockroaches, locusts, cicada, etc. I ate locusts, cockroaches and the water tastes really good. Guts, but be sure to try the OH: children of Cambodia-): Cambodia's lack of universal primary education, only rich people's children to attend school. So many kids all day in Angkor playing next to the tourist attractions, see tourists are very generous. Most will say a few words. Also speak of "candy": we go to Cambodia) you can keep some sweets. There are also some children will have something to sell, see tourists come, get over, mouth yells "One Dollar! One Dollar! "I also see in the roadside, a Cambodian women with a 1 year old children, Orthodox he said" One Dollar, one Dollar ". Strong! some things still can, I spend a dollar bought a stack of bamboo knitted bracelet, a total of fifteen, five thick, ten fine. Summer brought with clothes very chic. In Tonle surroundings have a lot of civilians living in the shed where children, some clothes are not, see tourists gathered up for money. But you don't give, they won't teases you. Angkor lamas: in the Angkor tour when you can see some Lamas. Cambodian monks, but liugenqingjing. They not only by the light of shaving the hair, eyebrows are shaving. These monks are very friendly. They will tell you which shooting angle best, will also help actions tourists have difficulties. Angkor Tower is high and steep and narrow stairs, no handrails. Visitors to hands and feet to climb. In Angkor, I see a Lama helped a woman carrying a package, accompanied her slowly climbed the tower. Overall the trip was very pleasant. But playing with travel agents, is not fun. Angkor VAT at least three gifted enough, you can travel to arrange all day. Back at the airport and came across a group tours, said "the collapse of the dense column" and the seaside are particularly good in Sihanouk. It also has a second time. This time when preview:)

Impression of Angkor – Phoenix flowers tree country (12)

Tabb Chi Temple, "tower" and the "tree" hug suffocation.

The whole temple is surrounded by huge trees, thick roots like Monty Python General tightly around the temple wall, such as Dragon claw-like Rugose.

("Dragon claw")

If the growth and spread of old trees, have partially damaged buildings will eventually be broken apart; if the winding old trees cut down, these ancient buildings may collapse in an instant.

(Valentine tree)

Inside the tree is dead, the outside of the package tree, forever, both as a general, as lovers hold together cannot be separated.

Tree and a tower is two mutual holding each other wrestlers, but the game is in minutes instead of the century to timing.

Unfortunately not read before going to the movie "Tomb Raider" unable to determine which tree had appeared in the film.

After lunch, after a short rest, escape the heat of the afternoon, return to the Angkor temples.

("Lake City")

The Angkor Temple, it suddenly became the top lying Avenue, first see it does not know it was a moat, just thought it was a broad immense Lake.

"Lake" is surrounded by tropical jungle and blockbuster "Lake" Center of the island has an old Castle.

(Angkor)

A dawn 1858, Henry omuo reckless forest "was shocked to see" the five-seat Sky God Tower of Lotus bud ...

The Sun of Angkor less mysterious, many had some grave, with a pilgrimage of the heart into the Angkor.

(Deep promenade)

Deep's promenade, where the time tunnel, seduced you constantly across all frames, depth of went in, went into the 800 years ago ...

Black sister returned to the Earth's surface — CAMBODIA full record (clothing)

Clothing in mid-March Cambodia air temperature of about 35-40 degrees, more than double that of Shanghai, so the summer preparing always Yes. The Sun is over there, it is recommended that you fear-free tanning MM can buy local long-sleeved shirt to wear, and color national basic white, embroidered at the neckline, very nice. As for the clothes do not take too much, not enough words to old market are basically can buy, if you must wear the clothes, cleaning the back of the second day is usually dry, laundry water does not have to too bothered about the (Sihanouk water special Hun), but the spare underwear or must, I this time were hot pants buttons off events, and hunted all GH haven't found in the room is equipped with needlework. Proposal: 1. take three thin line of pants or skirts, preferably in the pants, jeans easily concealed a prickly heat, but also saw the foreigner a gown to climb the slopes of the scene. 2.T-shirt or vest, shirt number, not afraid of Sling Sun's wear vests, suspenders shirt is sure better than cool T-shirt, this is after I have experienced. 3. running shoes or a pair of casual shoes, be sure to hop feet and have grip, plate shoes easily slipping. 4. a pair of sandals weighed in, not only because you want to go to the beach Sihanouk, in Siem Reap night let your feet relax, or coach is also required. 5. If not especially mind, can without socks, Angkor of yellow sand will definitely put socks with special dirty, but more difficult to clean. 6. swimsuit swimming trunks, don't go to Sihanouk, or you can take, because some in Siem Reap GH also has a swimming pool. 7. each place long living, absolutely can take trolley case, unless, as I do think it's not very professional. ^_^

Cambodia tour-ready articles

I have come back from Cambodia for some time, but my thoughts are like stagnation, always wanted to write something, but because of the annual leave and 11 holidays stacked things these days take their brains are doing great, so you want to look, hehe.

Previously wrote a Thailand Phuket's Raiders, then this article will follow the ideas start bar ~ ~

First talk about our trip

Thanks go to Cambodia is hasty decision, no more time to see and do plan gonglue so most of the work I have to the lg, lg is still very hard to do homework well, put our days on the use of compact, on this point I later chapters in detail.

We are the free line ctrip 7, Cambodia Phnom Penh-Siem Reap about 4000 people finally we plus Visa, eating and shopping, all charges are basically a person 6000 Yuan

20 September: from Beijing to Phnom Penh

21 September: from Phnom Penh by Mae public express arrives at Siem Reap

September 21-25 February: enjoy a taste of the Khmer smile

25 September: from Siem Reap by paramount express arrives in Phnom Penh

26 September: from Phnom Penh flew back to Beijing

Recommend two books:

I have purchased the dangdang, don't know if there are other cheaper discounted channels

1, Lonely plonet travel guide series "Cambodia", I think the book don't do too much, go to Cambodia's Backpackers almost a staff, you can claim to have been silent Guide.

At the airport will see a lot of tourists either Chinese or foreign, are holding a variety of text of the LP.

Dangdang purchase address http://product.dangdang.com/product.aspx?product_id=9251103

2, traveled the world series of the Cambodia and Angkor Temple ", this book is before I go see someone unintentionally introduced, gonglue on Angkor's introduction to the very detailed, illustrated, makes up for lack of LP picture less.

Dangdang purchase address

http://product.dangdang.com/product.aspx?product_id=20187900

For these two books, I personally recommend the Cambodia is Grand and Angkor Temple ", in the rush of purchase before his departure, but let us journey benefited, small aircraft forward off immigration card to fill in, to market sales of goods, to set a bitmap of the history and characteristics, and absolutely not to be missed tourist attractions, are set out in detail in this book, and really is illustrated well, even the best camera angles will tell you!!

For Pete's sake! Relative to the LP that looks hard dense small print! The Cambodia and Angkor temple on indicator of more lively up, but strictly speaking this book or some outdated records, after all, the world changes fast Oh! but is not a big problem for La! believe friends went to see a good between the book, there will be a great benefit of, at least not, came back found that various attractions, you are going, but I only missed the most exciting part, and in connection with the history, will be more exciting and beautiful.

Ready to start:

1. before you have to first passport visa:

Passport to Beijing district immigration reception hall for Passport.

Need for ID card, residence booklet. The process is very simple: it is recommended that advance downloading table (the table on the need to put a card photos), filled with the past, you can reduce processing time. For on-site photography when needed, and then hand out the audit, the audit was to inform the passport of the OK. 200 yuan/person

Visas to the Passport you can go to Beijing Embassy of the Kingdom of Cambodia (address: No. 9, Dong Zhi men Wai da Jie, SanLiTun North exit traffic light northeast corner) visa.

With 2-inch color photograph, also is to fill out a form on OK. The denial of a chance to almost zero. 190 $/person, the normal is three business days to complete.

Previously heard people say you can pay $ 20 for that result was turned down, ask to RMB 190, HA HA, it seems that they also know the Renminbi value-added, Oh!

Also appear as a field of the visa fee to be high, we in the aircraft encountered a friend from Guangzhou visa, she took the visa has 400 Yuan. However receipt only wrote $ 320, very strange problem!

Tips:

1, a visa may be agent ctrip, you personally.

But the high cost of agents, like 300 yuan/person, individuals feel that the procedures are simple, you can handle yourself, province of rice to eat good Thai food is good here.

2. proposed to call ask before a certain time (telephone: 65322790 speak simple Chinese), it seems they are free to work on time, it's clear that working time, due to various reasons at the door with a notification does not work,

II. the must-have items

Dress code: as far as possible without going to Cambodia travel.

Men's outdoor moisture and essential role of clothing, girls are less love sweating, also nice, but is recommended to bring some beautiful clothes, so beautiful scenery have more photos of beautiful photos come back, because the weather is hot and dusty more (Cambodia's dust absolutely came as a surprise to everyone's surprise, long heard that the dust, but so much, Khan was down ~) and speedy drying clothes can be washed every day, and speedy drying clothes for one night is competent, very convenient. In addition, sunglasses and Sun are also essential.

Shoes: with a pair of hiking shoes or sneakers, a pair of sandals deeps sufficient to meet the whole trip.

Hotel generally have slippers provided. but I still own belt.

Scarf or scarves: essential useful equipment, Cambodia especially Angkor dust completely than I expected

。 Especially take the tutu car (local a convenient means of transport, similar domestic motorized tricycle), is the absolute use of equipment, or purchase water cloth on the ground, also is the good choice, that is quick drying and wrapping thin enough, nor impede the head line of sight. key is also very cheap, some US $ 1 a can Kham.

Inflatable head restraints: travel in most of the time spent in the car, take a qizhen hurry in the car.

Flashlight or headlamp: for the candle at both ends at Angkor are particularly useful.

Particularly in mountain nesbakken, watching the sunset, etc.; cling to forget to return to the days are dark before to think of it goes down, the absolute use of.

Mosquito: accommodation of time.

Easy to recruit the best people of mosquitoes bring insect repellent water, rub on the skin when leaving on preventing mosquito bites. You can choose three Cove Outfitters buy rainforest procs mosquito liquid I used this, still very useful to ~

Toiletries and toilet paper: hotel or guesthouse provides some, but the toilet paper all feel very rough, so it is recommended that you compare with your own, thus, also used of the hygienic habits.

Wipes: it is recommended that you bring.

A lot of dust.

Sunscreen SPF30 + useful:, it's a good idea to alternate drying after repair cream or something.

Lg no sunscreen will be Sun burst, I was a very committed lazy guy, also black, so bring a hat or a lazy people's best choice.

Power strips: Cambodia the power outlet and domestic.

If the charger supplies more words, it is recommended that comes with perforated strips. Must remember that mobile phone, camera-good electric, we just forgot to charge, to two Angkor to photography, or delayed during the trip, go out, keep in mind the time valuable Oh our lesson! also must remember that rush is good electrical supplies, on leaving the hotel when checking bags take away leave, don't give Hotel Memorial!

Food: can bring beef jerky, things like candy, chocolate is no, then hot-. candy even if they eat not finished, or you can give to the children of Cambodia (if your backpack is local, you can give them with some stationery).

My experience is necessarily take more candy, tourist doorway has many local children, in order to sell their commodities always follow you and then follow your face and then always use the innocent watery eyes looking at you, if you really don't want to buy their merchandise, it's best to give them candy, they will leave, will thank you! originally they are cute, and not malicious.

English electronic dictionary: If English is not very good friends, bring it help a lot.

It is a good idea to take a calculator function. Many mobile phones also have this feature.

Other: travel information, use of the notebook and pen, compass, tools, knives, rain gear, water bottles, sealed plastic bag, disc hanger.

These according to their own needs with. local water, do not recommend that you burn to drink, the hotel does not offer Kettle, because water quality hard, for fear we all drank acclimatized but not feeling a hotel usually every day in room placing 2 bottles of mineral water free of charge, our own is also separate in the supermarket to buy a big bucket of bottled water. Street sell blue bottle of water, do not recommend that you buy, is generally purchased by the local people, tourists are not drink.

Take medicine: gastrointestinal drugs, cold medicine, trauma medicine hotness, mosquito control drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, chuangketie.

Lessons learned: we have met someone went to a local hospital buy anti-inflammatory drugs, forget what you bought, it is estimated that is the most common anti-inflammatory drugs, even to us $ 20, it is recommended that you take!! might use drugs carry to imitated in case well, after all, who doesn't want to go there wasting money!

In addition to a prickly heat, or you can bring a prickly heat powder. Although I am not easy to play on my arms, but still have some, it is estimated that Hat bands, but if some Mint cream, is also very useful, or Aloe Vera cream Aloe cream. tanning repair done is a good choice!

Angkor Wat Tour 3

2 February this is to Angkor in the third day, it is the last day.

The driver said yesterday and today will be a day to see the sunrise and didn't go through the big ring and rolous Mr.Vey group, said to $ 12, because it is a long way, since he has always been on time, compliance and dedication, we decided not to do so. Morning in his proposed four and a half under the floor on time.

Morning obvious than the previous two days of the cold, cloudy or thick, hunch not see sunrise.

The scum at Lotus, people still, 6: 30 pm clouds began to lighten, Sun or not to come out, the crowd gradually away from the road, according to the Angkor last Sunrise photos. And like to stroll around the finished before two days left to go to each attraction, took numerous photos, seen a lot of similar architectural style will inevitably produce aesthetic fatigue, rolous group course very impressive, but I it's history and before the related records in the view, therefore not much feeling, just feel with the same technology to build so much water in the building is not easy. Third world to still feel that we are still the most shocking is angkor wat, look at its many times not tired, but had no time to think inside the trance.

Back to hotel at noon and tutu driver finishes PAC, Gloucester Junction has bought back the Phnom Penh tickets ($ 5), no intention into another is strongly recommended restaurant--star lvyoumen rise, lunch are few, with the first two days as well as in the scenic area turn to reason out to eat, only one table, looks like it is coming from the United States, in a friend into the toilet, they kind of ran told us there was a giant spider, let us be careful, compared to people in that regard do mean much.

We see the wall there is a lot of foreign customers write message: cheap, delicious cuisine, tasty curry amoke, shake well, drink, stay here for three days each meal to wait, we're happy to leave time to taste the authentic amoke and shake, than in the old market of taste but also pure, and so on vegetables still for a long time, we do not rush, quietly enjoying photos, look at the guestbook, found no China. Meal an excited, and forgot to put our experience to write on the wall.

Use in siem reap last time, went to the old market, ate grilled banana lvyoumen recommended, by the roadside found another delicious India Paobing, inside with egg yolk and butter, cream, condensed milk, into a single volume, the smell of a delicious, flying thousands of miles, 1000rail (hop 2RMB) a, hungry for have to buy two.

Attract more another Chinese also asked us not to, HA HA HA HA! supper spontaneously but star rise. Business was very fire, we eat there, but still haven't found the Chinese people, caught in a group of golden hair foreigners Middle seem a bit out of place, while in the us are also considered aliens!

Morning, simply and innkeeper divisions, on the meet us to coach transfer of small bus.

Wait time in interchange is long, take a look at the table would have been his ticket on departure time, for the car late "habit," we will go ahead in Phnom Penh, fortunately, after comparison kuanyu travel time.

So with some regret, some shock, not leaving a beautiful Angkor.

Angkor VAT attractions map and two and a half days, recommended itinerary

Since watching the film "mood", all had a dream, hope to see those jungle covers more than 300 years of brilliant of ancient civilizations.

This year the 3.18-3.22, finally made up his mind, and I have the same desire, to Cambodia, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap to go. Before you go, many of my friends told us two women free row program are exaggerated reminds us that we take care to be taken when pressure Bandit village wife and pressure or "simple" fortress, some days are bitter, HA HA. Although the number of heart, but also a little worried about Angkor Wat yearning for eventually prevailed.

Before its departure, did a lot of preparatory work, including the Internet and see quite a few posts on Siem Reap, many of which are about eating, housing, transportation and various attractions.

But that unfortunately did not find a attractions map, while the large circle, a small circle of attraction name already had in mind, but still want to have a relatively complete wiring diagrams can be used as guidelines. So determined to come back after attractions map online, for later reference to the person.

This picture is from the may blooming "this book interim filmed, this book introduces the Cambodia customs and religious faith changes as well as the various attractions, Angkor Wat.

Like my friend, outlined, free line and with the group the biggest difference, in addition to schedule a free, just free line, take place before going for more comprehensive and thorough understanding of this field visit than with the Group of people more feelings. So going to self-tour friends, it is necessary to buy a look that will benefit.

Next, put me in Siem Reap travel are listed below.

Total spent two days and a half, the extract spots have played, and feel more reasonable, recommended for everyone, for your reference.

3.20 day: sat 8: 30 am by MEKONG EXPRESS to the hotel is after 2: 30.

At the bus stop is about good a TUTU, then let him drive us to the hotel, and subscription in the afternoon and next day Pack in his car.

Because the Angkor Wat to 5 pm start selling tickets for a few days later, you can free the day tickets went to watch the sunset.

So in order to arrange 5 before this time, we got to the hotel after tidied it up, 3: 10 minutes, or take the bus to old market TUTU stroll. Go to a 4 point 40, then sit TUTU to buy tickets, and climbing Mountain nesbakken, seen at sunset sunset nearly 6: 30, TUTU sent us back to the hotel for dinner. Or go to dinner near the old market or, where there is a restaurant Street, you can choose from many of the hotel. In the evening this Street will be closed to vehicular traffic, a pedestrian street, many people just sit outside dining in the restaurant, the atmosphere is also good.

3.21 days: 7: 30 in the morning, guided tour through ctrip reservation have been waiting in the lobby, and he discussed the decision today in addition to go after the small circle of attractions, then one of the big ring spots swords Temple ....

Excursion line to: go to Angkor through Empire city, visit one of the Palestinian side Temple-BA Rong Temple--air Palace — shengxiang progress--Doig Wong Toi--Holy Temple (sit TUTU to Angkor through Empire city, circle of beimenwai's attractions).

The characteristics of the various attractions, many travels are very detailed introduction, I will not here tired.

Noon: back to the old market edge of Dragon restaurant Soup, point out characteristics with large shrimp, frankly, taste like the figure there is generally a catchy title.

After dinner by the way also seem a bit old market, bought a souvenir. There's something more than varieties of Phnom Penh, price.

Afternoon: tea gel Temple-Tower of Puget Sound cage Temple--Angkor Temple-sitting in Angkor Temple before the moat while watching the sunset.

Dinner is going to the central market of Fish to eat Dead, because they store feeding two crocodiles, any live fish into their mouth, have died singing because the shop called Dead Fish.

At 7 o'clock start a national dance, dancing girl is beautiful. I heard that children should've accepted formal dance training, grew up in order to be eligible out to perform. Unlike domestic some dance team, like those of many people.

3.22 day: morning 8: 00 PM departure, rented a hotel of Toyota SUV (with driver), ready to go that day, female the Royal Palace, remembers mealea and large circle in the remaining spots.

Excursion line to: cardamom Temple--Royal pool--than grain Temple--East rush--women of the Royal Palace.

Only than grain Temple is in tours, other places just took some photos. Because see later, many of the temples to the overall feeling is the same, so there's no point in every place very carefully. But the woman still deserves careful to appreciate the Royal Palace, where the statue is too fine.

Noon: read the woman back to the Royal Palace is not open, because mealea and female Palace is not a direction, female Northern Palace in Angkor Wat, Angkor VAT not dense column in the East.

So the lunch at Angkor temple outside gears to eat, there's also quite clean, is the tour Sentinel places to eat. This is going to finish eating a meal in the open on to the East, to less dense column. After dinner we nearly 12 points, sidetracked felt yesterday tour or in a hurry, it is better to take advantage of the few people at noon, then to recall it. Then the head of the tropics and into the Angkor temples. This trip is really worth it, because the entire Temple of visitors do not add up to 10, the rest of the whole to lunch. So you can enjoy the photographs, there is no need to worry about being turned. On the first floor of the mural Gallery was empty, is the best photo. I even got a horse in the temple, leisurely eating grass photographs, background, a person, really good. There are only 12: 00 p.m. to 1: 00 am this time, you can enjoy the true peace and quiet.

Afternoon: Dragon sect, pool-Tower Xun-collapse MI column.

Although not dense columnThe more remote, but strongly recommend going to the scenery here is the other temples are invisible. Because this is already being war and vegetation destroyed the temple, without any repair, and maintain the original appearance. Evergreens is collapsed to the ground and covered with MOSS of large stones, many plants in rock crevices and perfectly--sprouted, with the passage of time. Here built wooden plank road, high and low--to be, you can stand on the height above the original grey stones turns around, overlooking the entire Temple. The vegetation of the alley, visitors cannot get involved in, ground disturbance with red and yellow leaves, was nice. The day was just under a Sun rain, rain and fresh air especially when coupled with the surrounding scenery of one of the original yili, whole person as in a forest culture, it is not. But this comparison between remote sites, so visitors are more and more become quiet.

Back to the city, in the driver's suggestion, to CTM sat times pushed back, essential oil of $ 15.00/person, it is estimated that their own direct to cheaper.

We have to examine three massage, finally the CTM is inside the best of the tour spot massage. However, massage and comparable domestic impossible, and massage bed is actually a paved in red velvet seats, cushions, dream is placed directly in the green carpet. But the taste is quite pleasing essential oils, massage also have their own characteristics, but suggested that those who care about the environment and atmosphere of friend not to try.

Dinner is still on the edge of the old market, eating Soup Dragon-Cambodia-small pot, indeed, there is only one Pan soup, taste the difference than internally, with vegetable only 6 kinds to choose from, and in particular for beef, bite biting is also old.

Previously seen someone recommended online before point, ate after-sorry.

We pack the car drivers very simple TUTU, laugh very bright.

He is very difficult, the evening still at night school learning English, in fact, I think he's already speak English quite well. His contact information is angkortransport@yahoo.com, he called Bun Horm, mobile phones (0855) 12 414 014. Friends in need can contact with him.

Blooming Cambodia

In Cambodia a lot of tourist bus to see advertising, blooming Cambodia. until now, I don't know how to understand so much advertising term in that country, the maximum is feeling the heat of the weather, so the gap between the rich and the poor, attractions outside of kids everywhere and the sale of postcards, and sharp thin girl's "one dollar, Lady of everywhere. Angkor Wat, and imagine completely different, starting from the first glance, it would never have expected in shock, but I prefer, because even if the visitor such, or can feel those building stable, after years of everything after washing to original. Maybe the old, always longing for peace of mind, dreamed of can take a look at the clouds volume, unfortunately, Cambodia Yunyu is too hot, the air is always floating fine sand, it is not the top side of the Sun and the heart, Eagle, then follow the crowd, holding the camera, trying to make myself not to feel boring. Originally thought that I could write a wonderful travels, but I found that, where you can touch the hearts of feeling can only stay in the heart, you can tell, it's just a Boren.

Angkor Raiders (1) ticket + Visa (December 2009)

In fact every self-tour, are standing on the shoulders of countless "Raiders", was able to feel at ease.

Relative to the hardworking people of Backpacker, I'm just a Flashpacker. No matter how much I love to save money, save money, provided that it can't be too dirty, too tired and too hard, too risky, too much trouble, and so on and so on. On this point, the sweat, I accept the despised.

So, this is a Flashpacker's Raiders, Backpacker please bypass.

Tickets:

Starting from Ningbo, Shanghai, this should be the preferred-Phnom Penh-Shanghai.

Shanghai Airlines flights to very metamorphosis, departure is taking off in the late 20 points, arrive at 23 points. Such flights operating at night, late rates are usually higher, a Delay of several hours (normal) to Phnom Penh becomes morning. Immigration. In the city. Check-in. Sleep — if you have time to sleep. Then, catch the morning seven, eight of the Clippers to Siem Reap, one-way 6 hours or so. Sounds like going to the Cambodian military training. Return flight is even more crazy, zero-off from Phnom Penh, arrived a little past midnight in Pudong International Airport.

Even for a bed, I can easily get to sleep, don't sleep on the plane.

Therefore, these flights can be exempt and free.

Give up this line is another consideration to Ningbo airport between single-trip at least 4 hours drive – it means from Ningbo to Siem Reap, the whole process takes a day and a night: first afternoon 14: 00 depart from Ningbo before the second day after arrival at Siem Reap 14 point, intermediate basic no rest, return, too.

It makes me immediately think of the 2007 trip to Phuket, Phuket was hasn't arrived, I was completely worn out, Phuket trip into a field with 5-star luxurious coat of nightmare.

Even so, Shanghai Airlines round-trip fares are inclusive of 3600 meters.

I wondered why this iron man route will be so expensive, Shanghai and Guangzhou life stronger than? comparing China Southern Airlines, others more humanity.

Then I choose another line: Ningbo-Guangzhou-Siem Reap-Guangzhou-Ningbo.

China Southern flights to not only time reasonable (flight day 3 hours or so), and the price is much better than the flights on the low (Guangzhou-Siem Reap tax-inclusive price of 2436 element), and Ningbo to Guangzhou ticket discounts are relatively large, so that finally all ticket costs, than to start from Shanghai but also cheaper. However, comfortable too much. Because Ningbo – Guangzhou – Siem Reap's total flight time and walk from Shanghai almost, but eliminates Ningbo and Shanghai Pudong airport shuttle between the origin of 8 hours. Since it is not through Phnom Penh to Siem Reap and Phnom Penh-Siem Reap from a 12-hour round trip between the toss.

(Small note: want to go to Phnom Penh, take a look, you can ignore this for 12 hours.

But I personally feel that, in order to open a section, but the Palace so much time and energy costs, require a certain amount of passion. )

Waiting for my flight out of Guangzhou flight when placed out of the lowest discount is 4%.

Buy tickets and buy a stock, you never know when will drop out of the most low prices, in addition to always pay attention to the trend of price discount, you need a bit of luck. My luck has not up to much, so don't expect to be greedy. 4% have reached my psychological price point, I immediately recognized the transfer forms. Before setting out for a period of time, I saw a drop out of Guangzhou section 3% of votes, a bit small. However, if the whole day in the Internet waiting for cheaper tickets, time and energy costs too high.

There are many mix select go Asia, cheap, very attractive.

However, only in order to enter Cambodia and transit via Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok, and then through the land, then transfer to bus arrived at the destination, select the amount of time and physical strength, so far. Compared to Shanghai Airlines routes to new heights. Of course, the way to go to Thailand or Malaysia, and the time of plenty and energetic students, Asia is a good choice.

All my air through ctrip reservation and transfer forms.

Ctrip prices slightly higher, such as Guangzhou minimum only 3.5 fold, but transfer forms will feel reassured when, without fear of online fraud. Then I have a friend through QQ contact Guangzhou private ticketing agent, you sure got cheaper China Southern Airlines ticket. Visible, the profit is always proportional to the risk.

Because the flight through Guangzhou, I had seen all prestigious New Baiyun Airport.

The airport of confusion has really impressed me. Huge airport identification, regional laws, separated without my first time at the airport, regardless of light-headed or Chinese English, do not know how to get to the ground, had to ask. Worse Security Department, life, the first time I saw the airport security service disruption as small farms, thousands of people a crooked seven twisted eight teams, pending security, the spectacular scene, with the Guangzhou Railway station during the Spring Festival is a competition. Security doors only 8, but the team behind at least 30. Since the team is too long, so that you queued, not knowing whether the row is which door. Most likely your row of dozens of minutes, only to find no security doors in front. And then had to incorporate other teams, creating new confusion. Because security is too slow, it was too late to the boarding and claims jump, so previous jam into a vicious circle, up, back out into a heap. A security check, great, agony and mill workers protest against a few words, an exhausted female security complain that "cheaper than a train ticket, one can also not what!?" in saying that we all laughed. Also, the airline tickets are cheaper than the train ticket, it is no wonder that migrant flows into the airport. Therefore, in Guangzhou fly, ahead of more time to the airport, otherwise, it will make people want to jump from anxious.

Online to see a lot of people mentioned that the Cambodia must not forget to confirm your return flight.

At that time was a bit puzzled because the confirmation ticket thing, my first time to hear about. So go in Guangzhou, China Southern Airlines counter I arrived a bit, the results of the consultationNot unless you change the return time is only required 72 hours in advance to confirm the phone China Southern Airlines.

Visa:

Cambodia's financial income is very dependent on tourism, China has become the largest passenger flow in Cambodia.

For the convenience of Chinese immigration, e-Visa is getting popular. E-visa for easy, simply upload a photo, fill out some information, the online payment of $ 25.

Website: http://www.mfaic.gov.kh/e-visa/vindex.aspx

Photos of requirements is very low and compressed into the format you want.

Companions of big pictures are taken, after the computer cut into registration license, just uploaded. Online payment is also very easy, you only need one opened the online payment feature shuangbi credit card, follow the prompts to enter the card number and validation code, submit it.

I have worked for myself and three other peers to do the online application, an hour or so of visa is issued to the mailbox.

One of the fastest one Visa, issued from the submitted to, it took just 17 minutes.

Departure before each e-Visa print two copies (black and white or), a copy of the entry, a departure.

Immigration have specialized E-Visa channel. Compare people proud, apart from Cambodia, and English, Siem Reap airport there are Chinese identity. Visible impact of Chinese tourists.

Unfortunately, Cambodia's official corruption or let our encounter.

Exit, large grinding and Ivy are asking for a tip. I admire big mill, this man knew English words probably a total of only one hundred, but every crucial moment happens to fluency. He was asking for a tip, eyes wide, yell: "Why?!" and the other is not coming up, wants the passport back to him.

General request tips are for single visitors, if found you are a group of people, transit is more smooth.

Ivy is stuck, we approach her, her passport was issued. The time of entry. Row in front of me a woman asking for a tip, her husband immediately from the other team to help her, and we at the rear of the blasted the refreshments to discuss strategy, others think that we are a large group, then there is no need to tip over.

I remember when I was discussing the floor — if you ask me to tips, I asked him to get receipts, hum, see him do — Chinese people really fierce Ah, Khan.

Skimming over Angkor line — Cambodia Transportion

Fear of catching up with all the Chinese people's Festival traveling shortage, in early December on forum posts, or recruiting, ctrip,-opening of the meeting, to attend on behalf of LD, full of American English of Albert, and has a baby face old gu, my eleventh peer Alice XX and two to attend a preliminary set of Alice, travel date, the second day participants Alice's help as a war-like to $ 4662 price out of the 5 26 January departure estimate is the most expensive ticket flights.

The task of the booking to the Albert, Albert despite saying don't worry about love, in fact, quite a bit of work.

In addition to Phnom Penh accommodation booked me in a lot of strategy in the guest house mentioned Sunday, Siem Reap's housing he is to flourish. A bunch of Siem Reap's wide range of guest house pictures and text to our pick, finally we select the room around with romantic white surrounding mantle bed of Molly Malone ' s guest house. In the next three weeks, then gradually find here beautiful Jessica, who love to swim in the bath, Ning and handsome guy made Albert will send every few days E-mail increase reservation.

More than a month of expected in January, 26, has finally become a reality, the busy capital Airport allows us to take off for an hour late, arrived in Phnom Penh is eleven o'clock pm, local time, the tide of air blowing.

Sunday guest house at the exit of the meet, the predecessors of the van was mentioned in the strategy into a Mo's and an old Toyota, after nearly 20 minutes of turbulence in the Shui into an alley of holes in the road, we went to see the guest house, Sunday by Kyung sang at least let me disappointed, it is the large number of Alice in the Raiders in Sunday guest house? this is a family small hotel, conditions than Beijing's farmhouse, $ 12 for the triple room, bed linen is also not like new, electric water heater in the Shui fine seem got prostatitis, window-type a/c humming, good at already booked guest house Sunday morning to go to Siem Reap's ticket, sleep for a few hours to make.

$ 25 ticket for Sunday guest house free sent us to the pier.

8 tickets 3 behind handwriting with a number, all the rest with sofa (sofa), Sunday guest house say sofa comfortable. On the boat to see the cabin seat is the condemnation, and never buy a seat ticket back to write all sofas, sofa is in a closed cockpit following cabin seat of a circle. Many foreigners are sitting on deck, while the scenery is good, but because the speed is fast, and foretold, colour white for fellow or in the cabin to be a much better. Recommendations to early embarkation, we arrived late because of a line, even the three-seater sofa by holding account of the foreigners, Albert took half a day just to let them get out.

Boat along the South-East Asia's largest freshwater Lake – Tonle has northward, Lake offers.

5 hours ' walk accompanied by the engine roar is hard, and finally the 2 points more often to Siem Reap. Dock a tablet with brands who received the boat, it is spectacular. We actually saw four brand received Albert, Albert and several are contacted, the final confirmation Molly Malone ' s guest house later forget and that several greet, Albert very low-key to find Molly Malone ' s guest house to pick up the boat, line 8 people on Toyota sea lion. Molly Malone ' s guest house is a Ireland opened bar and guest house, near the old market. This street is mostly foreigners opened bar and restaurant and guest house, the whole street full of non-exotic Cambodian nation. All the furnishings in the room was wide, and the texture of wood, double room $ 25, $ 30 big bed room, family room (one double and one single bed), $ 35. Put down your luggage and we go straight to the rumbling a restaurant next to the $ 3 a bottle of Beer that is off-Angor is a beer of none of us drink. Meal around a stroll around the old market, they stopped at the corner of a bike of the local people, because he's back with a bunch of coconuts, a bargain at $ 1for after three coconuts moved ' back to the nest.

Hired by our Toyota sea lion, $ 20 per day.

4 points to Angkor bought 3-day ticket, according to the Raiders in writing to mountain nesbakken (Phnom Bakeng) view of the sunset. I wonder if foreign travels and China, in short sea, mountain nesbakken station on tiptoe glanced at sunset, there's no little beautiful place, hands and feet it climbed down from the mountain nesbakken below see sunset view than spectacular sunset itself. Ask the bus driver to take us to the local people often go to restaurants to eat a meal and Cambodian dishes, mainly rice and fried together, tastes like Thai meals (according to the peer, I haven't eaten). Back to Molly Malone ' s guest house, first floor of the bar is full of foreigners, we caught up with a band in singing at Molly Malone's performance last night, the other seven can't stand the noise of the band, hanging out, I'm in Ireland Merry Music enything, and listening to the customer's cheers and applause to wake up and repeated several times. I wonder if some night finally was in peace again.

Didn't sleep for a few hours we get up at 5: 30, to shoot the Sunrise, Angkor Wat.

Because the caught up with the Spring Festival, Chinese tourists more than usual, we couldn't find Chinese tour guide, only every day hold 02 years published Cambodia — may blooming, right when the tour guide. This one-day walk is a small circle of Angkor-Angkor VAT(Angkor Wat), BA Rong Temple (Bayon), TABB Chi Temple (Ta Prohm). The Office of their predecessors in the long description of the Raiders, I won't describe it. Because today is new year's Eve, we had back to Siem Reap, ask the bus driver to take us to the local market to $ 1.14/bottle number two boxes of Angkor beer, wanted on the Internet referred to Beijing dumplings dinner, but the quality is too low, change in a Shandong opened wooden house restaurant. Reunion of pork or full authentic, also sent two disc dumplings. The wish to go back with a few cold drinks, because then the domestic mission restaurant busy, had to do. Back to 4 because Eve didn't sleep well while the fall will not play, and the remaining 4 people in a bag of Wujiang mustard company of drink 3 bottles of beer has been keeping to the Beijing time zero. There's not a lot of Chinese, zero time only in the distant sound of the street a few isolated cases of fireworks. 4 people dispersed, their sleep. Since then we have 8 people to play with haven't been getting up early every day with large sun go in Angkor.

The second day was turning circle of Angkor than grain Temple (Pre Rup), East rush (East Mebon), Banteay color musjid (Banteay Samre), female the Royal Palace (Banteay Srei), Thompson (Ta Som), Lung Poon pool (Neak Pean), the Holy Temple (Preah Khan).

Morning walk in several spots compared to the first day to inferior to many, we all want in a woman, the Royal Palace. Ate lunch, the driver pointed at a small temple said here is very small, but his view is beautiful, let's go to see. By midday, we have seen a few cursory, Albert and his home more, ext LD yet for a while, and ran to the outside edge of the reservoir's floor and the bedroom. Take a photo tour to this one, we decided to go to women's rest, good photographs such as light. We got into the car, see drivers back on, Albert busy ask why not go to the women of the Royal Palace, the driver was very surprised, said earlier that it is women, and they are here and the Royal Palace, discuss it, most people think that had to go back to remake. And secondary weight tour ticket at the gate of the palace women, who looked at this line very enigmatic. This time we talk to mine clearance, almost as the woman in every corner of the Royal Palace, spent more than two hours before.

The third day of the three spots, Rollei Temple (Lolei), the sacred Bull Temple (Preah Ko), BA Kung Temple (Bakong), I personally do not think it is worth a visit, this time as to the may blooming "area and high Boothe Hamada (Kbal Spean) and collapse mealea (Beng Mealea), Albert buy pirated the beauty of the Angkor" has many fine carving of the picture, especially in the water some simply Milano-magic.

But time is not enough.

Back to Phnom Penh's long-distance tickets because the Chinese new year and the usual $ 6 to $ 8, road surface flatness and our province road almost, can see the scenery along the way but not display it.

Experience:

Clothing: clothes to bring, at least daily.

The coldest day in Cambodia to 30 degrees, wear sunscreen and cool, shoes to light used or Sport Sandals.

Food: Phnom Penh: piers along the River, near a line number are foreigners opened bar and restaurant, the food should be authentic.

Cambodian meal there, each change with-like to eat.

Siem Reap: in the old market nearby restaurants, Western, Chinese and Cambodian dishes, etc.

Live: no advance reservations, airport of Phnom Penh and Siem Reap's Wharf has various modes of transport to take you to find accommodation.

Phnom Penh recommendations to live in the vicinity, Siem Reap, near living in old marke. There are various grades, and go! Siem Reap's motorcycle only 1000 real take you to any one of the guest house. Phnom Penh's motorcycles do not have to give him high, because the boss find accommodation will give drivers each guest the $ 1 Commission.

Row: 4 or 8 people make the best.

Local mostly Japan car, days of thermal coal with air conditioning.

My initial intention was to buy Angkor seven-day-ticket, but were all non-unanimous opposition, said Angkor at three days would be sick.

The results came back after a few photo donkey is a regret that I did not insist.

Recommendations:

If you hurry, you can buy tickets for three days.

First day: Angkor little circle-Angkor VAT (Angkor Wat), BA Rong Temple (Bayon), TABB Chi Temple (Ta Prohm).

Second day: Angkor big circle — than grain Temple (Pre Rup), East rush (East Mebon), Banteay color musjid (Banteay Samre), Thompson (Ta Som), Lung Poon pool (Neak Pean), the Holy Temple (Preah Khan).

Third day: women and the Royal Palace (Banteay Srei), high Boothe Hamada (Kbal Spean) and collapse mealea (Beng Mealea).

If you go there to film or want to savor the Angkor, the best buy tickets for seven days, itinerary is desirable.

You can swim in the afternoon on one of spots and ate a NAP at noon back to Siem Reap. We are in a hurry, because in many spots of light that is not very good, take out the effect is extremely poor.

First day: Angkor VAT (Angkor Wat), mountain nesbakken (Phnom Bakeng)

Day 2: palace ruins (Royal Palace), BA Rong Temple (Bayon), TABB Chi Temple (Ta Prohm)

Third day: than grain Temple (Pre Rup), East rush (East Mebon), Banteay color musjid (Banteay Samre)

Fourth day: Tower Xun (Ta Som), Lung Poon pool (Neak Pean), the Holy Temple (Preah K

han)

Fifth day: female Palace (Banteay Srei), high Boothe Hamada (Kbal Spean) and collapse mealea (Beng Mealea)

Sixth day: Rollei Temple (Lolei), the sacred Bull Temple (Preah Ko), BA Kung Temple (Bakong)

Seventh day: think what beauty and then go again?

The above represent the personal views, I for information.

Viet Nam, Cambodia tours information a second

In late June and early July, Viet Nam, Cambodia tours, tourism is different for everyone to feel not just provide a few useful information like.

1. currency exchange and use of

Viet Nam

Sat from Nanning bus to Hanoi, can be used outside the houyiguan renminbi Viet Nam shield, exchange rate should be the highest 1RMB = 2100VND;

RMB is not universal, in the domestic converted into US dollars.

In Viet Nam national recommendations in Bank exchange rate rupiah, Viet Nam is about 1USD = 16100VND; if less than $ 50 US dollars and may only follow 1USD = 16000VND Exchange, so try a convertible is greater than 50 dollars in Viet Nam shield;

If a large sum of expenditure can use debit cards in play have China UnionPay debit ATM machine, Bank of China card Viet Nam guilders per pen is $ 15 processing fee, should be better than credit cards and money.

(Sinh Cafe in various places around the streets near the Office can be found in UnionPay logo of automatic teller machines)

In addition to the daily consumption, payment of accommodation, tickets, tickets, etc., recommended with Viet Nam shield cover more money, because the general rate is 1USD = 16000VND;

Cambodia

Dollar General, exchange rate of the Cambodian Riel 1USD = 4100-4000R, in the streets of Phnom Penh and Siem Reap a lot of Money Exchange convertibility of the highest possible is 1USD = 4085R, Cambodia's smallest currency unit is 100 real, so not a big amount of 4050 and 4085 no difference.

Dinner shopping uses real settlement is generally is 1USD = 4000. but the supermarket shopping for 1USD = 4100, or USD and buy; Siem Reap Angkor's ticket to use the real rate of 1USD = 4200R, much less cost-effective.

2.Open tour bus

From Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam price of around $ 20-27, Sinh Cafe, An Phu, Brother of TM car can also; I selected is Sinh cafe in Hanoi-hue-Hoi an-NHA-Ho Chi Minh City, $ 24.

From Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi's price will be cheaper, An Phu Ho Chi Minh City-NHA-Hoi an-hue-Ha Noi around $ 14, Sinh Cafe for $ 22.

3. Cambodia visas

From the land into Cambodia and Viet Nam in Cambodia for landing check, by riding the bus company as Chargé d'affaires at Sinh Cafe, etc. at a cost of $ 25 dollars, do not need to get off.

If you want to save money for themselves is also very convenient, 1-2-inch photo and 20 dollars, fill out the application form, just be yourself, don't need to get my luggage down, very simple.

Just to note that for good visa clearance will ask you for a $ 1-2 of the so-called health permit fee, on such an unreasonable request must be rejected, they won't leave you like.

Other: sincerity in this recommendation the Siem Reap Angkor tuktuk driver Mr.

Chhai, young Cambodian boy really, especially enthusiastic, the price is very fair, very punctual, and drive faster, although not particularly good, but he is very clever, absolutely do not affect communication. Recommended reason: one afternoon to Angkor Wat to watch the sunset with a friend into the Angkor Wat found wallet at home Inn, very uneasy, out find Chhai asked could take her back to get my wallet, but also as friends worry Chhai, immediately remove the tuktuk behind the relatively heavy burdens of car, ride a motorcycle in front of friends to get his wallet, then, and send her back to watch the sunset. Also, we together two Japan girls to watch the sunset mountain nesbakken, just go to the hillside it begins to rain, found them at the foot of the mountain Chhai two raincoat in his car, didn't bring immediately took a raincoat and ran to the mountains, give them two sent a raincoat. Really make people very moved.

Mr. Chhai Tel: 092 570356 (reminder: of course, we'd like to talk about before the rental price and routes)

Cambodia (Angkor)-Thailand (Phi Phi Island-great city-Bangkok)

First of all thank you very much in the mix online travel gonglue, so-called source, I have some INFORMATION for this UPDATE to everyone, hope for some if the design and I travel the same mix help me!!

Prepare articles:

1) proposed must take at least one to two long-sleeved clothes and a pair of trousers.

Don't think that these two countries only hot, but also toxic and strong sun direct sunshine! (otherwise, when you return home, not only the face, hands and feet are tanned like Thailand as entry!) long-sleeved clothes and trousers is "armed", sometimes air conditioning car too cold or warm keeping it. If you have a habit to wash your clothes, you can take fewer clothes, because in Cambodia and Thailand are very hot, even after washing jeans in HOTEL room had 4-5 hour after automatic dry, so few take some clothes to Thailand shopping can have many "Gigabit" in the bag to put some "loot". Also, if a girl, at least with a skirt. Because imagine in a world full of ancient domains of Angkor, wearing a skirt photography is a very beautiful picture.

2) do the Sun work, it is recommended that in Cambodia or Thailand buy sunscreen, because is very cheap.

For example: 50 ° or more sunscreen in Cambodia and sell USD 3.00-10.00 trading, and to bring an umbrella, remember that it does not necessarily used to rain but retaining sunlight! followed by sunglasses, mosquito repellents, toothbrush and toothpaste, as in Thailand by HOTEL General rarely provide a toothbrush and toothpaste, torch, in Angkor at sunrise sunset time with get. also, preferably with slippers, because most of the Cambodian GUEST HOUSE and restaurant was in and out of the shoes will make guests, as well as in Thailand in the temple worship or visit it often to take your shoes off, if wearing sneakers, often wear take off, put on the removal of very depressed. Whether in Cambodia or Thailand, you will see the majority of visitors and locals are prevalent wearing slippers out discrepancies in. To be honest, this is our first time, wearing slippers to travel for two countries. There are, also, inflatable pillow, when you want to ride the bus, really useful.

3) cash: banks are able to Exchange u.s. dollars, you can use ID cards, passports are not required.

As much for small change, 1, 10, 20, 50, number of how many words, the less of 100 better because basic all quotes are u.s. dollars. Cambodian Riel, local currency is not the General shopping will find you $ 1, the exchange rate of $ 1 Riel = 4000R, cost-effective than banks. In Thailand, as a result of cash at a local swap CNY price is very low, lower than the dollar, even one day low to EXCHANGE RATE 3.78 (HK $ 3.92) so if there is time for some dollar tour of Thailand is a.. $ 50/100 large-denomination most high is 32.12, and denominations are $ 1, 2 small bills highest 30.55, if it is value is 10, the 20 highest as 31.20, we saw it reflected the benefits of RMB appreciation.. Of course, if you don't have time to change enough dollars in Thailand there are a lot of ATM is also marked in UnionPay ATM will out money, although issued THB CARD will have a charge, but EXCHANGE than with cash at a local swap CNY.

4) visa: Thailand visa CNY 230, find travel agency office costs become CNY300, travel to 4 working days.

As for Cambodia visa due to travel the lion's mouth, even to 500. So we went to Cambodia Consulate Office directly, simply pick up the next day CNY300 on it, if you want to express that day, only 350 (Guangzhou City address in the garden, a GARDEN HOTEL you can ask in the reception of Consulate of Cambodia in which Miss, they will face in response to your query) Cambodia Consulate office hours: week 1-5 8: 30 am ~ 12: 00, 2: 30 ~ 4: 00, Saturday from 9: 00 ~ 12: 00, 2: 30 ~ 4: 00 pm

5) ticket: Asia website: www.airasia.com directly in online booking (AIR ASIA is the most will go to the ticket, but BANGKOK THAILAND-travel from nearest Guangzhou Shenzhen is only, because if you do not select the departure in Guangzhou Asia, net tickets to more than 2000 TAX package.

But my ticket round trip SZX-BKK-SZX package TAX only at 1680 — ¶é — ' 是 28MAR 11: 15 PM and 6: 15PM 10APR at) noted preferably before 7: 30PM because this Web site under the Internet one night good hard REGISTRATION buy tickets. There are also their OVERSEAS SERVICE HOTLINE is (MALAYSIA), so information fill in correctly, otherwise the change you want to make a long-distance call to the annoying. Also Asia CHECK IN is not SEAT NUMBER, so if you want to ride a good location, CHECK IN and want to quickly rushed into the tank for a favourable position to sit down. Because the air is too cheap, is not pack airplane meals and water supply. So ladies lvyouji tight eaten after the operation, if the hungry computer, you can choose to buy Asia airplane meals. As if a meal is THB120-130, beverage mostly THB40

Walking in October of Khmer-first visit Angkor (3)

Enter the Angkor through Empire city, enter Palestine Rong Temple, over and over again the big face, people will tell you, that is the Khmer smile, slightly tilted mouth, eyes calm and peaceful, four face in a different light and angle look laugh, it's hard to imagine the ancient Khmer people even in hard rock carving out than the smile of Mona Lisa also muted:

(Khmer smile)
