On a beautiful Saturday morning, the journey begins. Taxi to Mochit bus station, bus to Aranyaphratet, tuk tuk in Aranyaphratet to the border. Tuk tuk driver tried to take us to the "consulate" to get visa for us for 1200 baht. After his few tries and explanation, thet we already have Visa, he continued to the border. I had eVisa, but there were...

Took about 9 Hours to get to Siem Reap. We were treated to dinner and a traditional dance show on our first night. The dancers were excellent, their hand movements spectacular. We enjoyed a tethered balloon ride which allowed us a great view of the city and Anchor Wat(8th wonder of the world), the most famous temple of the Khmer Empire. The temp...

Our full story is at http://isis-journey.blogspot.com/2008/0 1/cambodia-5th-9th-december-2007.html (This entry continues from the Phnom Penh trip) 7th DEC 2007~ Early in the morning, we headed for Siem Reap by bus. A 6-hour journey from Phnom Penh. The country side was very dusty and the road was very narrow. We crossed a lot of pond and wood ho...

After a 25 minute flight from Phnom Penh, we arrive in Siem Reap - the nearest town to the Temples of Angkor. It is early evening when we land and our 20 minute drive to town takes us past gigantuan hotel complexes. We are quite stunned by the enormity of the hotels and number of them (over 100 large hotels), that line either side of the road. B...

Greetings from the Kingdom of Cambodia, I don't believe that I have ever visited a Kingdom before. The official name is the Kingdom of Cambodia. Today, was pretty much a travel day. We woke up in Hoi An, Vietnam. We took a car to Danang, flew to Ho Chi Mihn City and then flew to Siem Reap, Cambodia. At the Danang airport we ran into our friend B...

Kanchana and Mark and I went to Cambodia. It has been a while now and so I have already forgotten. We flew to Cambodia (which is too expensive considering the length of the flight) and went and saw Angkor Wat - just for a day. We all enjoyed it. I like Cambodia and would like to see more of it, although I think Siem Reap is not at all representa...

Another early start but it's worth it to have a break at midday. This morning we travelled about 45 minutes out of Siem Reap to visit Banteay Srei and Banteay Samre. As ever the roads were pretty awful but the village life on the way was really interesting. We stopped at one point to look at cashew nuts growing - its things like this that we bot...

thai lose or siamese lose = siem reap. wat up? why am i here? o yeah i just remembered, i m here just like thousands of other tourists to see angkor wat, one of the most famous-man-made wonders of the world. angkor wat(temple) along with its neighboring wats is definitely a heavy weight contender. it sits in the same category as: the pyramids o...

On the bus I joined up with a Canadian-NZ couple & a German girl, giving me company through the upcoming task of seeing the world's largest temple complex. A daunting job at the best of times, better not faced alone. Siem Reap is a predictably touristy little town, being the place from which one accesses the aforementioned wonders. I've never se...
