Cambodia Cape walled Angkor Thailand Samui travel-4

11 February Banteay Srey (the woman King)-Pre Rup (Billy Temple)-Sras Srang (Imperial baths)-Banteay Kdei (spot tika Dai)-Ta Prohm (Tabou Horyu)

At two in the morning before sleep, got up late in the morning, until half past nine, had wanted to go out in accordance with the Lonely Planet on the first day of standard lines go Grand Circle, the second day, go Small Circle and female Palace, now that you have failed to see the sunrise and the two-day trip to swap out, replaced today go Small Circle and the Royal Palace, Angkor Wat tomorrow to go to see the sunrise.

The four of us, the most economical way is to hire a Taxi, and comfortable and cheap, about $ 23/day, but taking into account when you visit will certainly be focused, waiting for each other, so that the time delay and-ja husband not feeling that can not be too tired, so our two families on their rent a TukTuk.

Although they are more expensive, but some free time.

Out the door a waving came a TukTuk (fig) guys claim to Mr.

Ben, good English, we make fun of him recommended that he changed his name to Mr. Bean, which lets you remember him more.

We go to change money, exchange shop price is US $ 1 = 3800 real RL, later feel no need to change that here all universal, civil recognition $ 1 = 4000RL, than the prices of the shop.

When you pay $ 1 buy a 1000RL stuff, he will automatically find your 3000RL.

Angkor from Siem Reap to go on a road, all of the car's direction is the same, the opposite lane little car.

The road will go through a ticket office, here free camera, three-day ticket is $ 40/person 7-day ticket is $ 65, we will visit three days. Note to keep the ticket, because in many places the door would have workers the tickets.

Unfortunately, this didn't go as I planned high Boothe, now Chin Lin Caleb River clear streams from carved on the walls of the trickling through the scene only in my imagination.

This comes from Mr. Ben's Siem Reap accent cause misunderstanding. Morning we talk about the day when the trip price, we ask to go to the palace women, then go to high booth, and then returns to other temples of Angkor, Mr. Ben says he Can ' t go high Boothe Hamada, without stress Can not go, he sounds when can ' t and can very close, so the four of us have heard as he can. The Royal Palace from the woman, he tells us he's not a TukTuk cars, Taxi also can not go, because all is mountain road, can only go by Motor (then know it's true). Halo! we are a bit excited, we thought that he deliberately deceive, disputes, selling souvenirs, next to the open TukTuk local crowd up lining the refreshments to mediation. Originally, we would like to no longer use this car, but in the female in front of the Royal Palace to not rent Motor to high Boothe, it can only give up. Both sides clarified this field misunderstandings, again talking about price, from $ 18 to $ 15 a day.

To discover the beauty of Angkor and the spectacular, unless the experience.

Many users have with their painting and photo describes Angkor majestic exquisite architecture, it is thanks to their generous sharing, I will decide to Angkor, there is no longer available I dry text to gilding wherein the omission of hundreds of words ...

How can human resources and natural counterbalance

In Siem Reap, thirst-quenching fruit is coconut green, has a dense of Coconut Grove, a different child different prices, large 1500RL, smaller 1100RL, frozen and they are more expensive.

The shopkeeper out machetes, Kaka three knife cut on the top of the coconut a triangular-shaped, reveal a small hole, take the pipette a ceiling, a unit of the sweet juice is fulfillment kaoliang heart spleen. Drink coconut, let the boss with some of the small hole expansion machetes, so I come up with the spoon, dedicated to deal with whitening greasy black. Many people drink coconut throw, really baotiantianwu ... Ah ... In these days of Angkor, we almost every day to consume 4, five large coconut.

Another discovery on the fruit is very interesting.

Afternoon relaxing in the roadside of Coconut Grove, coconut meat side while mining not honestly looking around, you accidentally see fruit stall proprietress of a dustpan, put a mystery never before seen in the shape of the fruit, the fruit is a bit like tiny mango, but the skin is very thin to rupture, tender chuidan soft yellow, mature place rendered a little pink, very beautiful, and the fruit of long on top of a small grey green yueya shape of Sarcoma, hard. Fruit with sniffed its rare fragrance, I thought the most delicious fruit is mango, but this little thing than mango also smells good, smell in a glamorous sweet taste, I do not know what is. Ask our Coachman, he told a local vocabulary, but unfortunately we could not understand, so the driver said at the top of Sarcoma maturity is a kind of nuts, often in the bar drinks, like peanuts. Spent 500RL buy research, first Sarcoma broke down and hard skin peeling off, exposing a white-cashew nuts! the following tender yellow fruit slice without nuclear, also a bit like mango, slip slippery, sweet, but a little sour, fruit spread of boss give me demonstrations, direct end and paprika salt dip eat! I tried it, then it is a taste of "feast": astringent, salty, spicy, sweet, sour, all bloom at the taste buds, the final result on my taste nerve disorders, there is no Fu xiaoshou, can only give up.

Evening out from Tabb Horyu

Years, ran to Siem Reap. Endless dark green Plains and jungle, purple sky, huge red sunset slowly sink into the distant horizon. Don't go to Angkor Temple fortress, do not have to climb a tall mountain nesbakken, accidentally facing a beautiful sunset.

In the evening to a booming of Viet Nam Hotel Dragon Soup for dinner.

Thanks to early to find the second floor balcony of a good seat. Waiter recommended Siem Reap's famous Fish Amok, very cool! $ 4/share, one person, with plantain leaf packages look like soup of that stuff. But don't point here of Papaya (papaya), Shake, and expensive and not good to drink.

In the evening to do Massage Oil, a good but not great decoration, $ 6/hr.

Here are the most popular or Foot Massage, because during the day in Angkor tour, foot and lower leg is the most tired.

Want to buy some snacks in the evening, in a shop where he met Blues, Siem Reap is small.

Three people just stand the noise of the street-talk, chat a lot these days.

In the evening back to the hotel, quickly bath laundry, from Tonle water is very hard, the smell is an iron smell, powdered detergent fell down even a bubble will not play.

Here is the cold water shower, very few hotels provide hot water shower. But sweating a flush with cold water is easy, but fortunately I long bath according to the user a reminder with a six-God, the mosquito, toilet water treatment in Thailand and prickly heat-Cambodia Cape fortress of the last ten days, this toilet water into a glamorous love Bo, home previous glorious complete historical mission, put the body in Samui.

By the way, this time out, it is wise to carry a folding plastic water basin.

Outdoor store has sold this travel folding buckets, water basins, I deliberately chose a shallow estuary of laundry. Because Thailand, Cambodia Cape Village Hotel, the hotel is only a wash basin and does not provide its own washbasin, a washing basin more convenient, after all, it is too hot, and the pavement is red, the neckline cuffs are sweat and dust dyed red, and every day to wash a pile of clothes inside. In domestic tourism instead of simple, to the hotel lend their own small MM with basin, the disinfection of water immersion.

Angkor rows outside a------Siem Reap's gourmet

Go to Angkor's more than a year before, have time various tourism site, seen many travelogue, Siem Reap eating some, there's also mention diarrhoea, ice water, sanitation, and more, plus we have the impression to Cambodia: poverty and backwardness, medicines, before I prepared a large package of various drugs, told his daughter could not drink shake (a beverage, ice and mixed with fresh fruit juice), when the air under the aircraft's mustard is a bag.

Came back, the whole family entertained the amok fish (fish, Cambodia approach), fresh spring roll (Cambodia-spring rolls), Angkor beer (Angkor beer) and various fruit shake, baguette bread, hotpot (Cambodian chaffy), etc.

We have a total of four meals, are on appetite (our House South, North).

Noon meal in Angkor holiday hotel, four dishes, two baguette (too delicious to eat a added a), a bottle of Angkor beer, a glass of shake, a total of around $ 20, delicious, serving speed.

Three dinner a dragon in the soup.

2 time in Khmer Kitchen Restaurant. Dragon in soup to eat fish amok, hotpot, fried pork, fried shrimps and French style of swamp, beer and shake, $ 24. Khmer Kitchen Restaurant was $ 16, one is $ 12.

We in Siem Reap are meals, restaurant waiter (all boys) recommended Cambodia dishes, always satisfactory.

Of course, the Cambodia-food must be improved. Each will point a spring roll, amok fish and beer and shake. Khmer Kitchen Restaurant dishes than soup dragon of song, but the soup dragon restaurant taste of fish amok is the best, then eat a added a. Soup of Cambodia dragon chaffy, similar to swiping the beef: Hotpots soup, a plate of the beef, a plate of fresh vegetables (including a few slices of banana/plantain and the like) a plate of transparent small scones, a dish of dip. The waiter demonstration: put the sliced meat hot-pot, set of 2 small scones after circling dipped in water on an empty disk when the meat is cooked, put on the cake, then put a fresh vegetables, bread and soft, like the packaging the same volume, dipping sauce, really delicious. Soup is a sweet and sour, with a good drink.

These two restaurants serving speed is fast.

Also eaten roadside, attractions baguette bread, wood/bamboo rice, green leaf bag (which is a sticky rice and bananas), green mango (DIP hawker to eat the sauce), a different flavour, a variety of experiences.

Attractions are buy pineapple, head, taste good, than in Beijing to quench their thirst for hunger, our two lunch is these roadside flavor, diarrhea does not occur. Coconut's big, there is no Thailand's sweet but very many water to quench their thirst.

Back in December of Angkor, points and recommended

23, morning just came back from Phnom Penh, control previously online to see Raiders and the row's actual, write down a few updates and recommended, it can be considered the user returns to:

1. accommodation.

Visit Phnom Penh live Sunday GH (15 $, triple room, bathroom, fan, from the first floor, take your shoes off, there is a large terrace on the third floor), very good. Very clean, is of Chinese descent, cannot be said that the Chinese (of course not too fast and too complex). We go on scheduled his house, and told the car Shuttle airport, service was good. The only thing is the price can only be said to be fair, not cheap. Than their house cheaper TUTU is also very good find, but you may not be assured. In general you can play 90 minutes. In Siem Reap, we lived Bequest GH (12 $, twin room, air conditioning, bathroom) & Popular GH (9 $, twin room, fan, bathroom) (two on the side, close to the old market), are also available. The former was more clean, the room has fridge, a bottle of mineral water free of charge every day; the latter is on the second floor has a very good restaurant, the price is reasonable, taste good. Serious correction is the so-called front netizens recommend GardenGH actually should be Golden GH!! very good, but because the reservation the difference between the one-word, which resulted in no hesitation to stay, to pass up room!!!

2. eat.

This dinner is in the spirit of luxury and taste delicious food (only two meal to eat gear, of course, taste is good). In fact, Siem Reap pub street above the restaurant taste is also next to the night market, the flavor is a first class (with a budget of friends is to consider, premium) eat restaurant: FCC, Temple (pub street), the second floor of the Popular GH, Soup Dargon and certain three forgot to name but a first-class restaurant. Fried rice with 3000R General night market gears, equivalent to 0.75 $; in restaurant 1.5 ~ 2.5 $. In Phnom Penh recommended Riverside restaurant, especially a Germany opened, open locations, name a moment forget.

3. shopping.

This line in the shopping spend $ 340, buy back the countless things (but apparently my owner doesn't allow ability General estimated 15-20% water spills). However, as in Phnom Penh first went to see was the prison Museum, so to have 10 years of peace of the Cambodian people less nerve owner doesn't allow, is to improve the local point-in-force life.

Day1: blooming October foreign traveler

Completing promosting birthday, 19, will embark on a journey.

For the first time in the eve of departure without insomnia. Perhaps it has experienced an exciting period of the month, gradually become calm, then wonder travel can achieve the desired value. Wen and university students help themselves went to Gansu, free to arrange your own tour. Then all envy that the trip may not be able to help. To a total of 4 days in Cambodia, attractions to visit also quite fast, but then travel to discover, compact travel is in no way affect the Angkor to my shock.

The aircraft took off on 8 points, 5 points 55 minutes, 10 minutes to get to the HongQiao airport.

Drivers see my big Pack small package, asked me to travel? I say go to Cambodia to play, and then he asked: "was it like? Jeep plug? Isaac?" Khan!! " — Cambodia, "he surprised:" is that what Sihanouk on cutting, that place in…, very poor. "" I go to Angkor Wat. "" Oh--"looks like he doesn't know of such a place, then Khan ... ... Company woman is more, this group of 19 individuals, 18 women, only male or female staff member's family, which includes two old mother. The team leader is the travel agency General Manager, Antonio, Malaysia, Chinese are very good, as a whole. The following is the breaking of funny dialogue, A question: what is the "leader? Anthony or Antonio?" B: "outta sight, forgot, there is A Leo?": "call the wrong number of disrespect people, Ah, I see itinerary, as his name ... Oh, Otis! "" is Anthony have Austrian! "

Rob had a window seat, or enjoy the feeling of the day by plane, because you can see the clouds above.

By colleagues laughed at the "Earth", but looking at the sky, strange clouds uncontaminated blue sky, bitch, really enjoy this no barrier of feeling. The cloud is cylindrical, Wei is spectacular, trance-feel at tianchi, is "sitting" in the clouds. 3 hours of flight, or quickly, hit a minute NAP, and then looked down from the Internet travels, and the itinerary had done, soon to Kunming airport. Inspection station first, so I'm curious, just wanted to take pictures, later a Flash of light that is late it was fast, rushed out a staff treated harshly live behind colleagues, is strictly prohibited photography! original frontier inspection must be smuggled, national powerhouse, very sensitive. Blame yourself really "countryman"! no chance out of the airport and see the scenery of Kunming, only in the waiting Hall of shops around and bought five local ethnic dolls. Go to Siem Reap's aircraft is very small, can only sit 50 individuals. Aircraft is the first part of a Regiment occupied France, after half the fuselage. Later discovered that in addition to China, Japan, Korea, to a maximum of Cambodia is France, may, and Cambodia have some was France's colonial. PS: China Eastern flights on meal really difficult to eat.

Cambodia and China have a one-hour time difference, åœ — äº¬æ — ¶é — ' 3: 30 arrive in Siem Reap is the local time of 2: 30.

From the plane to look vaguely has been able to see that this is a country covered by the green. Airport empty, typical Cambodian style red roof's airport in the number of blue sky lights green, beautiful and clean, the airport is very small, but national features strong, newcomers to the scenes of our seeing this happening to indulge. The aircraft, the upheavals of heat waves pushed back a few steps from 27 degrees in autumn to 37 degrees in summer. Walk a few steps to sweat. The airport has a duty-free shops, and even find a DQ ice cream shop. A monopoly aromatherapy gift store, the price is not cheap, but I heard that Cambodia's aroma is famous, back when I pick up a bottle of Orchid oils. When we went to have a local end of the rainy season, it was the rainy season, rainfall is in fact, most of the time or difficulty retaining heat. The most desirable tourist season is during the dry season, but as it turns out, the rain in Angkor or not by the lack of a landscape, this is way down the line. Hotel from the airport is only 10 minutes away, and all major attractions are in close proximity to a maximum of 1 hour. This saves a lot of time, people are not too tired. Antonio advised us not to sit in the car, because Siem Reap are mostly dirt track, very bumpy. I looked at each other and smiled and SUKI, Let's kick of Dunhuang, Gobi has persevered, and the other is negligible. We stay in the hotel called the Royal Angkor Resort, 5 *, but in fact equivalent to domestic 34 *, just clean and tidy. Grooming, off to watch the sunset mountain nesbakken.

Because there is some time away from the Sun, so to take us in Siem Reap turned in urban areas.

That is, the more suburban. Cambodia is a poor and backward countries, most luxurious Street just across the hotel. No more than 5 storey building. The most expensive hotel to 1950 u.s. dollars a night, for foreign tourists enjoy the hotel's waitress earning only 30 dollars. These magnificent hotel and after seeing bankrupt dwellings and formed a strong contrast. Local gasoline more expensive than China, so the car for them is a luxury. The main means of transport is the bicycle and motorbike. Because of the dirt track, so the car to the dusty, Cambodian women put their own package of great care, thenightbeingdarkandfrosty, kids happy riding more than their size bike, occasionally saw several carriage and cattle. Reverse the lorry was carrying a load of young people, they waved towards the car. Sincere and simple Cambodians best quality, but also few days deeply felt. Car along the Siem Reap River walk slowly, or not that vehicle performance is not good, a poor road conditions, the second is is slower here, everything you want to take your time. Quite enjoy this pleasant. Siem Reap River, is the ancient towering, quiet and pleasant, in the evening there will be a foreigner riding bicycles or sit and TOTO (3-wheel motorcycle, TAXI), the shuttle at the Riverside road, street lights Dim out off the Siem Reap River, silent, distant vaguely music, feel good. Further ahead is the Palace of Sihanouk, typical architectural style of the Palace in Southeast Asia. Palace gate of the street there is a big tree, covers such as clouds, trunk incised towering mottle, there is very little temple, incense, smoke incense. Later the networkTo see this tree through fire unscathed to trees seems to have become a Siem Reap in the eyes of God. Sihanouk original annually to this small live, now old, is rarer. A seasoned civil war which baptism of countries against peaceful treasure and change since the DH is the strong desire to circumstances in grown up in a peaceful environment it is difficult to understand, maybe this is their pure smile mystique.

Car to the mountain nesbakken, street full of selling merchandise at the foot of hawker, has a lot of people.

Much smell smells, looked up, turned out to be a row of elephants for riding sat, 10 dollars one. Mountain nesbakken (Phnom Bakheng) is the major strategy selection of the best places to watch the sunset, which is the highest point in the vicinity, and bird han Angkor. But unfortunately as is famous, leading to the mountains too overcrowded. High mountain nesbakken, no 100 metres down the Hill to the next level, and on how to get what it feels like Sheshan. A few metres away from the foot of the 10 places a group of people in the local music. Subsequently asked to know, most of them are mine explosions but ability, to make a living, many attractions at the entrance of playing for a living, also recording the sale of DVD, CD. Music and the atmosphere of that time, but felt some pain. In order to catch the sunset, we had to speed up the pace, hot and humid weather, pace, and soon were wet with sweat. Antonio said possible today to see the sunset, because it was down, but here is a look at it. A quarter of an hour after the arrival of the mountain, above already abuzz. Tourists like ants like streamed climb to Buchan Temple. Antonio only half right, the Sun has not fallen, but a far sunset clouds, there is no visible imagine the sunset over the Southeast on Angkor Wat in the jungle. If the tide of people makes me feel more irritable, ear full of national language, flash light. Ought to have quiet admire the sunset at this point, like a yolk hanging in the sky, the heart slightly lost. Then simply enjoy playing Buchan Temple. Mountain nesbakken temple on the already poor though, but it is all of the Khmer Empire moves of Angkor built the first temple, known as the "first Angkor". Class a refutation of the statue, tilt of the ruins, where the sunset is kind of feeling. First saw Angkor building, already know before hard not wasted. True devotion to the creator created every day on the Sun, this is the power of nature. Play every day, but we were only a glance in a hurry ... Time passes quickly, it was already dark when downhill, the temples of the night is so poignant, or not to wander back frequently. This results in the mountain road is completely out of sight, Antonio show "nanny" true colors, took out prepared flashlight, party like a student field trip down the road, so pick. The ear is called insect frog, is surrounded by the smell of forest grass, the road ahead can only go to the felt its presence.

The Palace of Sihanouk went straight down the Hill, near the Angkor Shopping Center, dinner at the 3rd floor of a Taiwan opened the "very best", we heard that in General, but in a restaurant on the ground.

Cambodia can eat the food in many countries: Japan, Korea, Thailand, France, Italy and so on. In fact, or would like to taste the local cuisine, but the tour is not recommended, because water quality problems can cause gastroenteritis. After supper to Siem Reap, the famous bar street, this is the article to red and yellow as the main color tone of the streets, each storefront layout have exquisite exquisite, France colonial style, I say it as "new world" of Cambodia, but here's a beer whenever 0.5 dollars, and the food is mostly glass at around us $ 1, 2, compared to China, cheap too much, not to mention the capitalist countries. In a strategy to see a very famous The Red Piano is also on this street, as if there is a huge red piano hanging on the walls in the bar, but unfortunately did not go in to look at. After selecting the intersection of In Touch, Antonio, ordered a cup of Mango Shake. In fact, mango shaved ice, very delicate, 2.5 dollars, taste a little like Hui Lau Shan. Local girl on stage singing songs, gentle French attractions in this way, perhaps where she could live. Until out of the bar, see street begging of shabby children, they are often a major with a minor, and then use their big eyes watching you, hand. Heaven's end is hell, two of the world only a line between them.

Back to the hotel is a 10 or so with excitement and complex emotions to sleep, and look forward to the arrival of the second day ...

Write ahead of Cambodia

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.
