Siem Reap Lodges - Reviews and Rates

After our bus from Phnom Penh, we arrived in Siem Reap, the ancient capital of the Khmer empire and home of the famous Angkor temples! We were met off the bus by Mr Samnang (Mr Lucky in Khmer - not so lucky for us! - he tried to overcharge us each time we talked money, despite the fact that we paid more than we should have anyway!) who took us a...

Our last milestone stop of 9 months worth of travelling - Angkor Wat. I wasn't overly impressed with my 4.30am wake up, but it was definitely worth it by the time we got there for sun rise. It was packed with a million trillion Japanese, Chinese and Korean tour groups - Apparently they were all professional photographers - they all had massive c...

Well I am delighted with myself, I have finally managed to sleep through the night. I'm like an oversized newborn! I kept waking up at about 4am and then taking littel power naps but after forcing myself to stay awake yesterday (only till 9pm mind!) I have cracked it and slept thro till 7.30am. What a lie in!!!Mind you, I think the 4 million tem...

The boat to Siem Reap was quite dramatic we went through a kind of underwater forest with the boat pushing through the bushes spitting in millions of bugs not nice normal bugs but red spiders! We arrived by pulling up into a boat village, where all the animals lived in raft runs on the water and whole families lived in run down shacks it was hea...

I tried to upload some pictures but it is really just taking too long at this internet cafe. When I go to the better one, I'll see if it'll work there. The internet is 75 cents for an hour but the problem is that it doesn't alwasy work and a lot of the cafes are not airconditioned. Yesterday was the first day of orientation and was a pretty long...

Po 6hod sme byli temer u hranic vzali jsme si tuk tuk,ktery vypadal jak limuzina,kozene sedacky, 2x vetsi nez je zvykem, az na hranice. Pred hranici nas odchytli panacci,kteri nas nasmerovali do spavnych okynek a navigovali na kambodzskou...

Hello there all! Although at this very moment we are not actually in Siem Reap- but that is what I am going to be telling you about. So gather round: After returning to Bangkok, we sent Kelly on her way and jumped on an early morning plane to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Upon arrival, we took a taxi directly to the bus station- Personally (this is Eliz...

The first evening, after getting settled in Siem Reap, I went to the temples to watch the sunset at Phnom Bakheng. Had an early start the next morning for sunrise at Angkor Wat. After that I went to the highlights including Bayon, the Elephant Terraces, and then through the South Gate to my favorite, Ta Prohm. The next day I headed north about 3...

We left Bangkok early at 6.30am, collected from our guest house. It was a small minivan that quickly filled with 11 people collected from other nearby accommodation. We managed to get on the bus at the right time and secure the best seats. An unfortunate guy from Georgia, (ex-Russia) had the really bad front middle seat with no head reat. We wer...
