Good Morning Siem Reap!

The tour guide arrived around 8 o'clock in the morning, the tuktuk is also waiting for us and few minutes we set off for Angkor Wat tour!

Ticket for Angkor Wat Day Pass (one day) is $20, a picture has to be taken then..... ta-dah Angkor Pass will be given to you. The Angkor Pass will be inspected when you enter the temple.

This place is too crowded because this is popular among tourist, specially is you're a fan of Tomb Raider (the game) or Angelina Jolie.

Lunch first before heading to Angkor Wat

ANGKOR WAT

We had a long day, exhausted from the Angkok Wat Day tour, the weather in Siem Reap is killing me. We went back at the guesthouse, rest for a few hours then we stroll again at the night market for last minute pasalubong shopping.

We tried eating Angkor Snow Ice, located at Angkor Night Market for 1 USD.

For the nth time, dinner at KFC, Siem Reap.

This is our last night in Siem Reap, I enjoyed the Angkor Wat Tour despite of the hot weather. I never thought that there is more to see in Cambodia. They are very rich in culture, I'm amazed that they showcased the history of the temples. I'm amazed with the structures of each temple I visit and the way they preserved it and continue to rebuild some of the temples. 

Compared to Thailand, Siem Reap is more laid back, no traffic here (due to limited vehicles I guess) There is no MRT or subway here, mode of transportation is similar to Thailand using "tuktuk". 

I feel safe during my stay here, people were kind even those in the market. When buying your souvenirs or stuffs at the night market try to haggle as much as you can, half the price of the item you want :)
