When I first listened or watched to the news and heard Cambodia, Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge, and genocide, it made me sick. They ruled Cambodia from 1975 to 1979, and were autocratic, xenophobic, paranoid, and repressive. The genocide was part of their social engineering. The resulting deaths from diseases like malaria, and the Khmer Rouge's ethnic cleansing, for lack of a better word, took its toll on minorities and the less fortunate. Fast forward to about 2004, on our first trip to SE Asia, specifically in Bangkok. We were eating at a little noddle stand in a small grocery store in Bangkok when we struck up a conversation with another American. He stated, matter of factly, that Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia was the greatest, most interesting place he had ever experienced. While we ... read more

Noc totalne nahovno. Stropny fan som musel vypat bo furt mi to fukalo do ucha. Otvoril som okno, chvalabohu zacalo prsat tak sa aspon trocha ochladilo. Na ranajky vybhnutie ako vzdy, k malej pekarnicke kde nakupuje vela lokalov. Davam chlapikovy za 4ks 2k ale vraj cena je 3.5k. Nuz bral som nove kusy tak mozno hej abo ma odrbal. Po hygiene presun do lobby. Vyzdvihnut ma mali dojst o 10.00. No ani o 10.30 (odchod busu) nik. Nakonec chlapik co to vybavoval ma ukludnoval, pick up je tu zachvilu. Dosol 10.40, vyhadzuje ma pri pumpe kde je jedna bus spolocnost (meno som zabudol). Tu dalsi chlapik, bus je zruseny, tak musim ist taxikom. Ok ale nist nepriplacam. Jasne, jasne. Tak poteseni, bude to pohodlnejsie a rychlejsie. No rychlejsie to mozno aj bolo ale od pohodlia to ... read more

Four days in Siem Reap was very relaxing , July is a humid time of year to visit but the rain was kept to a minimum , The Angkor Museum in Siem Reap is worth a visit to gain insight to what you will see in Angkor Wat , Pub Street in the evening is abuzz with restaurants , food stalls ,markets and bars . Angkor Wat was a lot bigger than we realized and a couple of days is recommended to cover the main sights and temples , there are 2 circuits , the large and small circuits , the small is best covered by a Tuk Tuk and the larger by car , both require the majority of the day as there are numerous sites to see , there are a lot of stairs ... read more

There is such beauty and unspoken magic roping around Siem Reap. Of course, Siem Reap is home to the temple complex, Angkor Wat; considered to be the most impressive monument in the world. Angkor Wat. It costs $37 for a day ticket to see Angkor Wat. A useful tip is to get your ticket after 5pm on the day before so you’re able to see it for sunset and have the full next day. We hired a tuk tuk for the day for $30 for both days which is expensive but our driver Peter was fantastic and gave us a full tour and it’s worth the money. Angkor Wat complex covers the size of a small city, littered with a variety of stunning religious sculptures and architecture. The structures date back to the 11th century (close ... read more
