If you interested to view sunrise - Angkor Wat or Srah Srang 2. Trees growing from temple ruins, you can visit - Ta Prohm (most famous for the Tomb Rider and Paramount paid USD10,000/ day for seven

You can view sunset at either Phnom Bakheng or at Angkor Wat. Since the next day I am visiting angkor Wat for sunrise...so sunset view for me at Phnom Bakheng. Well...again this one need a lil bit of jungle trekking...up hill and down hill. Since the sunset at siem reap at around 5:30pm onwards...so I was a bit in hurry climbing up the sandy slippery hill. The view was worth it!!!! I don't really climb up to Phnom Bakheng but choose on the foot of phnom bakheng...yeah!!! I was a bit late so unable to compete with those who earlier...and it require another climbing up the narrow high staircase...goshhhhh!!!! I can climb up but thinking about going down...phewwwww.......challenge!!! I settle below the temple with awesome view and less competitor and of course safer for me... kekekekeke..

One must remember, when you visit Siem Reap you need to be prepared to visit temples and temples and temples again. Just like Bagan,Myanmar in Siem Reap if you don't need to spend too many days to do your day trips. 2 to 3 days is fine to visit all those major temples. Suggested itinerary for day 1 : In the morning take the small tour to Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom , Bayon,Victory Gate, Thommanom, Chau Say Thevoda, Ta Keo, Ta Phrom, Banteay Kdei, Sras Srang, Prasat Khavan and finish it with Sunset at Phnom Bakheng - normally tuk tuk price is between USD13 - 15. Some charged you up to USD20. Not higher than that price. My itinerary for day 1 : In the morning take small tour to South gate Angkor Thom then visited Central angkor Thom ( Bayon , Phimeanakas , Terrace of the Elephants , Terrace of the Leper King ), Prasat Kavan , Banteay Kdei . Go back hotel for shower....very very hot...don't think I can continue without freshing up first. Then continue my tour in

I am back!!!!! My post start with khmer food. I find Khmer food is interestingly almost similar with what we have in Malaysia, Thailand,Myanmar and Vietnam. Most of khmer food cook with khmer spices and coconut cream.     As you see above picture this is my welcome refreshment when I checked in. Clockwise : Caramelised Banana chips, Cold Iced tea with lime, Steamed glutinuos rice with sweet coconut wrap in banana leaf.   Hospitality industry remain competitive here in Siem Reap. Many hotel will provide you extra mile services to gain word of mouth reference from the visitor. Place I stayed provide free airport transfer (tuk tuk) from airport, free one hour khmer massage,free coffee ,tea,banana at bar counter and everytime back to hotel after day tour they will served banana chips,fresh ice tea and fresh cold towel. Most of staff will try hard to remember your name and chat with you.     From top : * Morning Glory aka Kangkung (I don't know tha
