Suggest to stay at Big Lyna. It is actually a big wooden house with the upper level converted into rooms. Conveniently located within walking distance to Old Market but away from the noise and hustle-bustle. They provide airport transfers - helping you to save a bit. There is a nice restaurant (Thai if not mistaken) just round the corner from Big Lyna - reasonably priced and good food. When shopping, bargain like mad. Slash the price to 1/3 or less.

You won't trust your eyes. Cambodia rocks! Lovliest people I have ever met who always smile. It's another day for you in paradise...

If you go here, you know what you came to see: hundreds of ancient temples that had been swallowed by the jungle, particularly the deservedly famous Angkor Wat. You will not stop with AW, of course, as there are also Angkor Tom, Bayon, Banteay Srei, Ta Phrom, and many, many more worth seeing. Getting to the top of Angkor Wat is a strenuous climb and not for those afraid of heights, but is well worth it for those who visit. Visit early in the morning when the heat and crowds are not so oppressive.

Bring a digital camera with a zoom lens and LOTS of batteries and a large memory card. You will want to take a lot of photos. We brought a laptop so we could upload the photos every night at the hotel, keeping the memory cards fresh for the next day.

When visiting the temples, don't forget that there are people who live there in extreme poverty. They are not just begging and trying to sell handicrafts because they want to annoy you. Visit a village and see how they live. The Cambodians we met in this area were exceptionally friendly and welcoming to visitors. No visit would be complete without taking a little time to get to know some of them.

Take passport photos with you to get a pass for Angkor Wat

The great world amazing place, Angkor. It's one of the place you shouldn't miss. Nice people and save money. Good for adventure travelers.

lej en knallert for 3 dage med guide og se alle "pyramiderne" de ligger lige uden for byen. man kan flyve direkte fra bangkok hertil. Det er en skod tur at tage bussen tilbage til thailand, især ved grænsen, pas på dine ting.

When arranging prices for the tuktuk tour in Angkor, do not just ask for the price. Go with a map of the temples (strongly suggest you get one), and make sure you know exactly where you are going to take you, and how long will it take. Haggle, haggle, and then haggle some more.

Although the Ankor Wat is most famous and is a must-see, don't forget the much more impressive Angkor Thom - it is bigger! OH - you'd be suprise if you think there is no gay/lesbian life in Siem Reap...

The only real reason to go here are the Angkor temples, but what a reason!!!

ANGKOR WAT!!

Yes, it's great but expensive (~30$/day) and be there in the early morning coz after 10 o'clock many groups of flashing wanna-be fotographers run through the amazing temples.

To see the most famouse temples it's easy and cheap to go by bycicle (the small circle might be around 30km) but wear a hat because it can get really hot in Cambodia. ;)
