Cambodia ( May 2012 )
12:14 AM
Basically this trip was special dedicated to my mom, because I have not been travel with her..
Reason we chose this place, Siem Reap was because Angkor Wat is one of the seven wonders..
We had chosen to stay in this nice hotel, Paradise Angkor Villa. Its really a fantastic hotel in terms of their services... The price is reasonable as well.. Strongly recommend this good hotel.

For this trip, I have reserved a private driver for my 4 days itineraries. He is really a good driver. Patience, Funny, Friendly, and willing to go for extra miles for our trip. And the most important is, he is a very experience driver and can really communicate in good english~ well... hahaha

Below are the temples I visited in this trip.. From the South Gate to Banteay Srey... all nice nice yea~~
Do you watch Tomb-Rider? If Yes, then you'll know this place.. this is the place they filmed the movie~
Ballon ride over Angkor Wat is a Must-Do-Thing in this place. The ticket for this ride is US$15 per person and its about 15 minutes ride. You can see Angkor Wat, Bakheng Hill from the top..
The local people called this as the swimming pool of the King. wow~! Its called Sras Srorng. Nature Swimming Pool yea~ LOL... Its located opposite of the Khmer Village Restaurant.
In this trip, we do sunrise viewing in this lake instead of Angkor Wat. And please take note the sunrise at about 5:30-5:45am.
For food, Asok is a Must-Eat-Food in Cambdia.. they Asok fish, Asok chicken..
Asok
Coconut is also a MUST there~ Bargain with the people to get cheaper juicy coconut~!!
Well, beside Asok, we also had buffet with Cambodian's traditional dancing performance (Aspara) in Koulen Reataurant Sivatha Street.. Its a good experience which you can have local buffet with local performance in the same time.
Aspara
Here is the Angkor night market and pub street. I personally like the Pub Street sooooo much!! Very 48 happening!!
And here the climax of this trip~ The visiting to ANGKOR WAT!! Can u see Angkor Wat from far?? hehe
Tadaa~~!! The making of Angkor Wat~~!!
Beside Angkor Wat, we visited this place, Les Artisans d'Angkor, which is a workshop to redevelop traditional Cambodian artisan skills
To know more on the local life, we experienced the rides to floating village too.. Bought rice and drinks for the orphans there.. see how they live their life.. sympathy to the max..
On the last day, I wanted to have something different from others' Siem Reap trip and ended up I took this Quad Bike sunset tour. It cost US$28 for single bike and US$38 for double bike. If you are interested with this game, you can call +855(0)17784727, +855(0)92787216 for booking. Its a great experience though.. :)
