Angkor Night Market Siem Reap

Avant le lever du soleil je suis parti pour Angkor, un site classé parmi les 7 nouvelles merveilles du monde par l'UNESCO. Un espèce de parc national avec des immenses temples vieux de plus de 1500 ans. Le premier, Angkor Vat est le plus impressionnant et le mieux conservé. Le lever du soleil donne un spectacle magnifique, et les étangs font office …

Had a much needed lay in - slept til 12pm! A bit naughty but we needed sleep.
And so we left the hostel at 1pm to go to the village on stilts - Kompong Phluck I think?

The taxi driver from yesterday took us but after speaking with the friendly staff at Jasmine Lodge we realised that he would not be able to get it that cheap for us. …

Con panne y cambio de bus, llegamos después de 6 horas de viaje a Siem Riep, ciudad turística del estilo de San Pedro, guardando las proporciones. Nos estaban esperando en el terminal (joya!!) y llegamos a nuestra habitación, la que tenía ventilador de techo solamente. El calor…te lo encargo, unos 34 grados y la humedad peor, de 90%...o sea, …

Two months ago I suspected that Siem Reap would be the highlight of our journey but I never expected it to exceed my expectations like it has. The people here make me feel at ease after the stress of Pattaya and Bangkok. Our last 3 weeks has been a perfect example of the extraordinary contrasts of South East Asia. It's hard to imagine that after a …

I've been in Siem Reap for a week now, and half of that time has been spent recovering from the worst hangovers I've ever had! It's lovely here, and it's very easy to sit back and go with the tourist flow. You can get manicures, pedicures and massages all for $1, then get some Chicken Amok for $2 and wash it down with a pitcher of Angkor beer for $ …

I arrived in Siem Reap at about 2pm, an Aussie guy was booking a taxi the same time I was so we decided to share, made it to the Siem Reap Riverside Hotel in about 15 minutes, I checked in, dumped my stuff and headed out to explore, being totally hopeless with diretions I took a right instead of a left and ended up on a road to nowhere, the guy at …

Það er ekki hægt að heimsækja Cambodiu og sleppa því að skoða Angkor Wat sem er stærsta túrista attraction í allri Asíu og létum við því okkur ekki vanta í það. Rútuferðin frá Phnom Penh til Siem Riep var að mati Mörtu ein skemmtilegasta upplifunin í Asíu en hún sat stjörf við gluggan og horfði á hvernig milljónir Cambodiu manna búa. Litlir trjá …

SIEM REAP

We arrived at the bus station and were shocked when we were not bombarded by tuktuk drivers wanting to take us to a certain hotel. So we looked in Lonely (our pet name for the guide book The Lonely Planet), found a tuktuk driver to take us there. Of course they were full but …

Idag møtte vi alle sammen i resepsjonen kvart over 6 for å ta speedboaten som skulle gå halv 8. Vi fikk alle plass i 3 tuk tuker med sekkene våre liggende oppå oss. Når vi kom til båten så var det en fyr som tok 3 sekker med seg ned til båten helt uten videre og ba om penger senere. Bagasjen ble låst inne på et rom helt …
