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:

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.

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!
