Temples of Angkor, Part 1
... to go than just getting someone off the street. Better knowledge and more dependable. Because we were headed to the farthest outlying temples we paid him $27 for the day. He burned a lot a gas as we drove over 120 km. When we do the temples closer to town it will be about $15. Our driver, Bat, was good, and we have hired him for our other two days. Lucky us! We got to the ticket booth just before a swarm of tour ...
