Angkor always blooms Raiders

2005 Spring Angkor, Bangkok essay of-other Raiders article 5/5

Road traffic

1. Airport-Khaosan road, airport bus, line A2 (outage after midnight), 100 bahts per person.

The airport entrance is ticketing booth, bought a ticket at the edges, etc, (also for free Bangkok map), 10 minutes by car, there is no need to worry about 1 missed my stop, line most tourists to Khaosan road. If you would just sitting at midnight to TAXI out, B is 2: 00AM arrived, and with the machine a Japan boy with a taxi from the charge 300-400bahts room because it is the middle of the night, there is no other choice.

2.

Khaosan road-Hualumphone (South wind) train station, TAXI, 50bahts, about 15 minutes on foot. C B from Beijing, sitting in the air, midnight to 3 am: 00AM up light buckles room door, fortunately, midnight to find also a sigh of relief. And overturn the mist of sleep to wake up 5: 00AM, CHECK OUT catch the morning 5: 50AM train. Time, into a station is 5: 40AM, fortunately, you can buy tickets, 48bahts/person, regardless of seat number.

3.Bangkog- Aranya. 6: 00AM, train leave from Bangkok railway station to travel to the border town of Aranyapathet, reaching 12: 00PM Aranya.

We selected the DIY way, in fact, Khaosan road there are sent directly to Siem Reap in the bus, but a long time, at least 14 hours, is intolerable, and train both relaxed and breathable, easily, but also by the way, experience the local State of life. It is interesting to note that the train passes through each station will stop along the way, but neither station name, station in stop time is very short, minimum 2-3 seconds, up to 10 seconds, but also the local people have mastered it agility and skill, will not completely stop the train has up and down. The only wonder wondering how to deal with persons with disabilities, or only choose other modes of transport.

4. from the Aranya to Thai border crossings and Poipet has about 6 km 5, 10 minutes ' walk, ride a Tuktuk in the past, two 50 bahts.

From Poipet to Siem Reap you can choose to travel by MINI BUS (250-300bahts/person), if the device is fairly comfortable and travel more tightly, the best package TAXI for two, 1, 200bahts, 3.5 hours to arrive at SIEM REAP (such as by BUS, from POIPET to SIEM REAP is 6 hours).

Special Note: in order to clear customs, as soon as possible should hurry up, the best catch in a large number of tourists who take the bus to done before RE-ENTRY VISA and Thailand-Cambodia entry at the border, so as not to spend too much time to catch up on the same day to PHONM BAHKENG watch the sunset.

But if you want the day after three days of tickets bought, the evening watching the sunset, only packages can catch TAXI. This is the beginning is not too much attention to, because it was noon Aranya, whereafter lunch, rest for a while before heading to the border, while a large number of tourists has been reached, in addition to catch the season from the visitors more, before and after handling Thai RE-ENTRY and waited for 1 hour (only 1 visa officer); when I go to get in front of immigration, POIPET is mighty team. POIPET immigration lodgings, pipe your noble civilians, are in the midday sun exposure, even a shade place no, team slowly move forward into a little bit, too, is nearly four, in any case also miss the sunset of the day.

5.Angkor Angkor trip three days, our package of three days, a total of 45 dollars Tuktuk.

1 day 10 dollars, BANTEAY SREI to women because of the Royal Palace in Angkor 25 km to the North, the drivers are subject to 10 USD. And because we see the sunrise sunset every day, some aren't, finally gave the driver $ 5;

6.SIEM REAP BANGKOR, and back to when the same way, no more DIY.

Otherwise, the return is not handled as to when to transit VISA, soon. TAXI 3-3.5 hour to return train POIPET, 1: 40PM open, 8: 00AM SIEM REAP departure from around.

7.Khaosan road-Airport: take the MINI BUS MAMA, nearly 1 hour, per person, 60BAHTS/lie in a train.

Note: Bangkok city traffic jam is extremely serious, be sure to leave enough time.

Climate, wearing

Angkor: SIEM REAP and Bangkok, at noon the temperature close to 33 degrees, but due to the Angkor temples many steep staircase, plus daily walking longer, it is recommended that you used to wear.

Wear the recommended air thin t-shirt, and breathable trousers, the other just before a long-sleeved shirt for early sunrise. The overall feeling of having to wear jeans, too hot, I'll just wear a days could not bear, is also good, with a removable light waterproof breathable trousers, get up early to go out when will connect the legs, hot and will remove the lower half of his pants, very convenient to call cool Ah straight praised his prescient.

Bangkok: t-shirts, shorts, sandals weighed in (as long as you do not enter the Palace).

I can't stand the heat, bought a pair of beautiful herringbone drag before 70 bahts, the next two days were wearing it, returning to bother changing the other day, I went back to directly in the cold Chengdu. In addition to the nine days plenty of sunbathing, face is Khaki, (although mowing SPF50 of sunscreenAlso avail), some people think that I should not know this side trip to Chengdu is winter. Hei Hei ...

Also, I wonder if the dry sake, although there are mosquitoes, have occasionally been stung once or twice, but the threat from mosquitoes far imagined terrible at bedtime on smudge some precautionary water can bring peace of mind; high mosquito water only leave it to the next.

Otherwise, go to the front was afraid of food hygiene conditions, in our experience, you do not need to be nervous.

In SIEM REAP, we recommend in Raiders of the few restaurants are eaten, buy bottled water, some at the end of the day, without any adverse reaction. Of course, if the daily in local small stalls to eat, and others. To domestic current diet health condition, you estimate is the same with antibody, it need not be too worried. Of course, Viet Nam is radiometrically make avian influenza, chicken is free. Snacks are completely not necessary with too many, regardless of Bangkok or Siem Reap, can very easily in the supermarket to buy.

Having said that, on the road, the basic preparation of drugs or the should carry complete, such as cold medicine, antidiarrheal anti-inflammatory drugs, banish drug, precautionary water is recommended to take in case of emergency.

Visa

We are going to do well in domestic Thailand visa to Cambodia visa at the POIPET border, 1, 100bahts/person, (of course you can also run well in domestic first), but remember in Thai exit before running well Thai RE-ENTRY VISA.

The exchange of money

SIAM REAP fully eliminates the need for the exchange of money, dollars, all the prices used in u.s. dollars.

In particular, do not change the border, the exchange rate is not good, and for Exchange, exchange loss.

Bangkok is all used baht, and even the airport shops to baht price, so you can swap in Bangkok, but just the right amount of baht airport exchange rate very low, you can change as little as possible to the KHAOSAN road, after the change.
