Hotels in Siem Reap - Prices and Reviews

We decided to hire a tuk-tuk ($15) on our last day visiting the temples. We bought a $40/person park pass, which allowed us to visit Angkor on 3 days over one week. It was perfect, since that way we could have a day off in between. Kids 11 and under were free. Lucky us! (They did ask to see Jacob's passport.) Our visit was relatively inexpensive...

Heavy rain was predicted for today, but it is beautiful, hot, and sunny. The flood waters continue to recede. Many roads are still flooded, including downtown. Everything from the central market to the river, and over in the Wat Bo area are flooded. I threw caution to the wind and waded through deep flood waters today. Why? Well, during Ketsana ...

Well, let me start this blog with Cambodia is nothing like I expected. I was thinking really dirty and really poor. It has its fair share of hawkers, most of them are children. More on that later. But, this has to be most amazing place that I have ever visited. My journey starts with an overnight in KUL...I will describe that in detail when I ha...

After the ingenious plan to pull an all-nighter so that we would sleep the whole way from Cambodia to Vietnam we boarded the 8hr bus to Phnom Pehn. Of course what we failed to take in to account was the border crossings and Cambodia's miserable infrastructure. After getting through the Vietnamese checkpoint without any problems despite overstayi...

12th to 15th Sept 2007 The past few days have been a little busy. On Wednesday the 12th I ventured out onto the streets of Saigon. I visited various sites and attractions including the Independence/Reunification Palace and the War remnants museum in the morning. After lunch I walked along to Notre Dame cathedral and the Main Post Office which is...

By Dani *****We leave Koh Change early Wednesday, having decided to go to Cambodia. Although I have a visa in my passport, I have no idea what we are going to see except that it's a UNESCO World Heitage site and that it's one of the top twenty places in te World to see according to Colleen's guidebook http://whc.unesco.org/pg.cfm?cid=31& ;id...

Today was our day of touring the most temples. It was also a tiring, hard day and very hot. We had Sim's Taxi for the day and started out early. He was so punctual we actually missed breakfast. I will leave the descriptions for the pictures of the temples. The site is amazing. The only place that I have experienced that feels similar is Tikal in...

This is definitely one of the travel destinations I highly recommend to any tourists with interests in ancient civilizations, as well as cultural and architectural wonders. The top attractions of Siem Reap are no doubt the Angkor Wat and the numerous temples and palaces that exude the elegance and exuberance of the ancient Khmer civilization at ...

22nd June - Another day another temple. Today we started off with a one and a half hour ride to a couple of the more distant ruins. The first of these was Banteai Srei which is a smaller temple built from a pink sandstone. The carvings here are probably the most ornate of all the temples and were well worth the long trip. As at every temple as s...
