Cambodia August self-tour practical information sharing

Raiders are everywhere, and many more lists in the Cambodia daily itinerary, from visa to ticket from accommodation to eating place.

Because the work relationship only departure before spent a short time to do homework, but still rely on the experience of people find all kinds of information. In Cambodia tours of these eight days, thanks to the many experiences before they were able to successfully share happily spend. Is a kind of feedback, put those in the other Raiders didn't see on but went to local think very important information and experience sharing for everyone, hope that's going to have some help in the ass.

A: it is also useful to book: the go global: Cambodia and Angkor Temple of Japanese, Chinese version

Usually the recommended reference books is the may blooming and the Lonely Planet LP books.

But comparing three books, feeling if you want to rely on a reference book for walking excursions in the field, the walk is best — for each attraction has maps, and attractions in this most worthy to see several points all have pictures and specific aspects of the reference. When you walk into every one of spots, their obvious are stunning beauty, if you do not have a tour guide, you have to go such a book in detail to tell you what is "fragrance," how much will make up for the future have missed the scenery.

This book apart from the attractions, there are also related legends, religious figures, local restaurant bar introduction to various types of information.

So if you are the tours, there is such a book in hand, whether it is to spot or find dining accommodation places, can have very detailed information.

Compared to the five "for the specific amount of places is too small, yet all LP text, no pictures, it looks more laborious.

Second: Siem Reap travel reference price: Tutu

Tutu's price depends on several factors: the oil price.

To the number of attractions. Whether to return to the town of rest at noon. The owner doesn't allow it.

1. oil prices.

In accordance with a start from on-line strategy, the reference price, for example — the line price Angkor 8 dollars a day, Angkor 12 dollars a day, excluding women and the Royal Palace, the floating village, Buon mealea, high Boothe Hamada, etc — discover now the price is in line with local cannot. The main reason is the oil price, this price they do not.

2. go to the number of attractions: three and a half days of regular routes: one afternoon to buy tickets to watch the sunset mountain nesbakken; the second day of the third day of the size of Angkor, including: the Temple of Angkor, cardamom, ban Dai UC Te Temple, TABB Chi Temple, tea, rubber Temple Angkor City (BA Rong Temple, Temple of the Pakistani side, air Palace, clock tower, Doig Wong Toi), the Holy Temple, Nirvana Palace, the Tower's temple, East rush than grain Temple; fourth day high Boothe, female the Royal Palace, Tonle, not including collapse mealea and Barolo's group.

If the second day of the third day only want to place some classic such as Angkor, Angkor temple city, TABB cages may be, the price to lower pressure. Regular 3-day and a half line price probably? please see fourth price references.

3. If you want to come back to town around noon.

Midday rest means that the town back and forth of oil to use, the price will be slightly up floating. We find the first driver that does not come back at noon, two days back-25 dollars, will certainly insist on us $ 29.

4. the owner doesn't allow it.

Benchmark 1: in the local knowledge of Alice, I hear the most powerful, 3 days half-48 dollars, but it is not clear whether there are back in town around noon.

Benchmark 2: we start looking for drivers, an agreed price is 2 and a half days, $ 29, which first half day $ 5.

Benchmark 3: Inn of recommended tutu drivers from: first half day 4 dollars, the first day all day 12 dollars, second day 15 dollars.

Innkeeper again dropped, said through their lease drivers are the prices.

Benchmark 4: a young tutu drivers want to do our third day female Palace, high Boothe Hamada, Tonle business, offer 30 dollars.

Not yet a counter-offer. However he inadvertently reveals the price other tutu drivers can do. If you go to the palace women, high Dobbs bin and disintegrating mealea, 45 dollars.

Benchmark 5: Inn of other mix of price, the price of three and a half days is 75 dollars, third day including collapse of dense column.

By inference, rent a car prices tutu should not greater than:

The first half-day (buy tickets, sunset mountain nesbakken), $ 4;

First day in Angkor 12 US dollars;

The second day in Angkor 15 US dollars;

The third day if the rented vehicle is also to female Palace tutu, high Boothe Hamada, Tonle, 30 dollars.

If you go to the women of the Royal Palace, Dobbs, disintegrating mealea, 45 dollars.

Therefore, three and a half days at the price of tutu car 60-75 USD fluctuate (mainly depends on the third day to the place).

Two and a half days of price, tutu car 30 dollars or so.

Other notes: Tutu

1. go to the women of the Royal Palace, high Boothe bin, disintegrating mealea, Brolo shiqun'd rent a tutu.

Tons of loess, road is not flat. But tutu drivers will say there's road to go to the size of Angkor road is the same, that is deceptive.

2. best through accommodation Inn to rent tutu car.

Our first day from station looking for the driver, in the early morning of the second day for nearly an hour late, no contacts, no third party guarantee, we make a booking through the hotel and then another tutu cars, apart from the Inn of the third party guarantee, then went to what attractions, when to go, and other aspects of communication, the innkeeper will be in a position to help communication. This is because, after all, the innkeeper to guests and two party tutu drivers to achieve some balance, not only to their own Inn.

Car rental prices

Reference: ashamed, because there is no comparison so there is no right to speak. Our 4 person hired a Toyota car, would have gone to women of the Royal Palace, high Boothe Hamada, Tonle, driver's price is $ 52; then halfway decided not to go to Tonle, go caving mealea, Brolo's group, which is half price with the driver to discuss, so did the initiative, and the driver of price is US $ 80 (which he himself to pay a fee of 10 US dollars). My feeling is expensive, blind guesses, if these four places tutu car price is $ 45, the car should be 65-70 dollars more reasonable.

Because the car rental price will be playing a Siem Reap big spending, nonsense, you may be forgiven.

3: on accommodation:

Phnom Penh:

* LP strongly recommended Spring Guest House (888 777 015 MP: Phone: (855) 023 222 155 E-mail: spring_guesthouse@yahoo.com Address: 34, St 111, Boeng Pralit, 7 Makara, Phnom Penh, Cambodia).

13 u.s. dollars a night (A/C, Hot water). There are slippers, bathroom with toiletries, quilt is very thin, overall, not bad. But early in the email confirmation of booking to Siem Reap's Mekong Express ticket without help, the staff's explanation very reluctantly, that shifts the unclear. Although the next morning staff a call to the automobile company asked votes, still belongs to the fill behavior for what they said, had not made up for success.

* The famous Narin II Guest House (Tel: (855) 023 350 411/012 696 376 touchnarrin@hotmail.com Address: No 20, Phnom Penh, St 111).

12 dollars a night (A/C, Hot water). Very simple and virtually nothing of housing facilities, quilt is very thin. Poor assessment.

* See other Raiders recommendation: Golden edge of the Royal Palace to the North of the River Side there is a large and small hotels and guesthouses (Guest House), is the accommodation choice, generally with bathroom with hot-air-conditioned standard room to US $ 20, which is a newly opened hotel in January-Hotel Cozyna, new decoration, river-view room for one night is US $ 20, the absolute value of choice.

(Address:No. 1A, Sisowath Quay, Phnom Penh, Tel: (855) 23 222 366, E-mail: cozynahotel@on-line.com.kh)。

My personal feeling after the River, the Inn, compared to around the central market, at least from the appearance on the environment as a whole is much better.

And Siem Reap and Sihanouk accommodation experience compared to the two-night stay in Phnom Penh is the worst.

Perhaps we have not found the right place.

Siem Reap:

* Sun Sengky Guest House (Tel: (855) 63 964 034, 12 630 943 E-mail: sengky@camintel.com Address: # 15, Sivatha Street, Old Market, Siem Reap)。

15 dollars a night (A/C, Hot water). Very clean, the location is quite good, away from the old market, bar street, next to the food of the restaurant, the boss was very gracious. High praise.

Alice in Siem Reap, has encountered the Bequest, the popular, according to assessment are good.

Sihanouk port:

* Crystal Hotel ( Tel: (855) 034 933 880, E-mail: crystal@camintel.com Address: Ochheuteal Beach). 25 dollars a night, equivalent to domestic Samsung hotel, the room was large and clean, breakfast.

Shore just a road. High praise.

* Leng Meng Beach Bungalows (Tel: 034 934 896 237, 016, 953 859 Address: 016 389 In 4, Sangkat 4 Mondol, Khan Mitapeap, Sihanouk Ville) as well as restaurants and bars.

25 dollars a night Ochheuteal Beach, close to the magic sea view room, has a, while the in-room facilities do not so good Crystal Hotel rooms are not large, the victory in the sound of the waves can be listened to bed in the morning opened the curtain to see the sea floor. Too.

Feeling Ochheuteal Beach Sihanouk 25 dollars in the vicinity of one night's hotel, quite good.

Fourth, attractions play:

Best attractions in advance prepared in English, the benefit is if you own journeys, in bilingual attractions can help you to quickly communicate with drivers.

Now travels were mostly Chinese attractionsPrepare for travel in General, when in Chinese. Although you can also wait for communication when questioning an English name, but always in a rush.

Siem Reap's attractions are many and generally fall into one of the big ring small circle (big circuit, little circuit), there is far more women to the Royal Palace, etc.

In fact, big ring small circle inside the attractions you can freely mix, I seen Raiders, various combinations vary. In fact, there is no fixed findings which travel better. Only suitable for taking pictures of the time, the Angkor for afternoon, BA Rong temple for the morning. These two places are the most classic, so if you take time to discover what's on tonight's a waste. As regards the Tonle, tickets to 15 dollars, but in the local access to the mix that is not good. So. .. Decisions on their own. It is worth mentioning that the high Boothe bin — bosses on the edge of the stone is beautiful, but because of the absence of signs is not easy to find all of the relief, it is recommended that you make in the mountains before you look at the foot of the roadmap and signs; collapse mealea — keeping the original appearance of the original discoveries, but really bad. Fortunately, a local man, 50 years old, see us at a loss to know how to walk, he can take the initiative to find a place where we take pictures. I asked how much money? "he said just for you. I said two dollars? he smile say ok. His English is very limited, and therefore cannot be introduced, he is with us, in rocks climbing climbing low in, and then in turn signed us those too easily overlooked classic. Because he is more convinced that the collapse of the dense column worn beauty.

3 days half-time personally feel slightly inadequate.

Each day is really feeling full and filled with, I have a passion for beautiful statue, many places are like fine look or back and forth between the two times, but also to catch the next place, always on the next places and full of expectations. The result is that I don't have time to once again look at Angkor and BA Rong Temple. However, if you can sacrifice fell back to town for lunch dinner and sleep time, then you can at least every two hours, so maybe you can save out the afternoon again to those who you want to see the sights to see.

Five: on consumption:

As an ordinary girls, in Siem Reap's old market, saw all of those colorful scarf, I move it move it.

5 dollars offer of silk scarves, cut into 2 dollars a deal that took 10 back away, people see love, hate, not to buy. A strategy that 1.5 dollar, I'm not really cut down. Other reference price, tablecloth, 9 2 USD. Hem spacious trousers, exotic, 9 2 USD. Old market there are many t-shirts, 1.5 dollars should be able to contract. Posted in refrigerators rubbings, 2 1 USD. Postcards, 3000 real to me. If you have dinner in the scenic spot, nor can the owner doesn't allow it, I thought no, but simply to ask the shop owner's consent, HA HA, feeling and earn it. Unfortunately, in Phnom Penh in the supermarket and I did not find you can take home to eat local food, post coming up on the plane, I feel really cannot return home to face a karate starving colleagues, at the airport to spend nearly 20 dollar "invested" bought two boxes of food, the box marked big Cambodia, India and the beautiful Angkor photos. Colleagues see boxes are very satisfied. But I still say that if one more time, I will definitely be in Phnom Penh's supermarket flowers 20 dollars to buy more delicious.

On the sharing of lessons here.
