Siem Reap 6/4/08 to 10/4/08

by balhannah - last update: Feb 23, 2009

Siem Reap, the town

Arrived from Phnom Penh by air, only a very short flight, and an expensive one, at $105. If I had known that the roads were in good condition now, I would have taken the bus for about a sixth of the price. Perhaps this will help others. The taxi from the airport was cheap, only $5. My Hotel was in a very dusty side street, a nice Hotel, but no views. It is very hot here, hot at night too. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from with all types of food available. Markets are here also.

Temples, Temples and more temples

After buying a 3 day pass, having two 8hours days in the scorching sun, and an early morning for the sunrise, I am all templed out!!!
The Temples were wonderful, and well worth the hard slog. I hired a tuk-tuk for the day, every day, this was a great way to get around. I also enjoyed the nice breeze.

Temples

I haven't written any tips on all the Temples that I saw. I went to lots and lots, and they were all very interesting.
I feel there are enough reviews on each of them, that I can add no more.
I had nearly 3 full days of walking around them, was exhausted the last day, the heat was so oppressive, so finished early on the last day.

Visiting here was an incredible experience for me, and one I won't forget.

 Great tips and photos. I missed the sunrise at Angkor Wat, but enjoyed the sunset from Pre Rup.
