Places of attraction in Siem Reap, Cambodia

1) Angkor Wat
Entrance fees = $40 (3 days tour)
To get there = Tuk Tuk or Bicycle
To get around = Bicycle or walking

Angkor Wat is also comprises of the Bayon Temple, Angkor Thom, Ta Phrom and Phnom Bakheng. The Bayon Temple, it seems is famous of the Bayon 'faces' (something worth checking out). This Bayon faces is best viewed during 6-7am as the sun will shine right at the faces.

Angkor Thom and Phnom Bakheng is a magnificient inner royal city and is renowned for its temple grounds and southern gate. One of the best sun-rise view at 5am in the morning. Is Ms. Zen interested to accompany me this time? I am sure it will be very 'zen' to view sun rise at the Angkor Wat.

Ta Phrom, famous with its gigantic roots submerged and intertwined together with the temples. Perfect place for Lara Crofts wannabe (Tomb Raider) and loads of loads of camwhoring sessions.

My comments:
I have indeed surf around and have best thought that 3 days tour is a must indeed! I have also found out from my coursemate that, to get around in Angkor Wat, if all of you want it, it will be highly recommended that we hire a tour guide (in Angkor Wat) to explain the history and background for us. That is for only a day if all of you are interested but that is also depending on our budget. There will be souvenirs selling at Angkor Wat but it is not encourage to buy there because whatever sold there will be sold at the flee market. With so much cheaper price too! (We have to bargain teruk teruk lah).

There will be a lot of kids asking for donations or pleading your purchase from their goods. It is very recommended to say a big firm 'NO' to them. Do not say 'Later I will buy' because they will recognize you and come after you when you exit.

Photo will be needed by the Angkor Wat entrance ticket. If it is such a hassle for you guys to bring a passport photo there, don't worry, they will have your photo taken for free on the spot. The photo will later be embedded in the ticket that resembles our driving licence.

2) Tonle Sap Lake
Boat fee = $10 to $20 (depending on our bargaining skills)

Tonle Sap, I heard, has one of the best view of floating houses, markets and people performing on the water. If you're lucky, you might see houses being haul from one spot to another (shifting houses process). It is rather recommended for us to take a boat on a tour at Tonle Sap lake. I heard it is worth the journey but then again, it is also depending on group decision and group budget status. =)

There will be a lot of locals trying to tempt you into buying their goods by jumping into our boats and showing their goods. It will be good enough to just say 'NO'. For people performing on the water, it is usually when you tipped them only they will perform. Hence, we bring some coins in the form of Malaysian currency will do. And we tipped them using Malaysian currency. I rather think this is a bit of taking advantage of their lack of educational mind but then again, we're running low on budget. So no choice lor.

3) Psar Chaa (YEAY!! Shopping!!)

One of the BEST flee market and even better if you have the bargaining skills. Silvers, dresses, clothes, etc etc etc...all could be found here. Sounds exciting enough, eh?

So far, this is what I've got about Siem Reap. Coming up next post will be the Phnom Penh. Maybe will delay a little due to unfinished lab reports. I hope all of you are satisfy with the information. And Haha, you don't really have to come up with the schedule yet. Can wait till I finish posting on attractions at Phnom Penh only decide where we will slot those places. Thank you!

Cambodia Discussion Pt 1

I did my homework! Yikes!
Well, it was more like I come across something that will be worth our visit during our stay in Phnom Penh.
It is the 'Tower Skull' or more known as the Genocide S21 during the Khmer Rouge Regime. To those who have did a bit of snooping around about the accommodation, you will definitely come across the word Khmer. It seems this Khmer thing, happens to be a regime. As Haha will readily know, 'Rouge' means 'red' in French. It's a genocide, boys and girls, and that means, killings based on race.

Khmer Rouge Regime it seems started at 1975 and during the regime, has killed approximately 1.5million Cambodians. That, boys and girls, is so many times worse than Hitler's time.

NicoleKiss put it better in her entry (click on the word 'entry') with pictures and all that. So I hope you guys could take your time a bit to read about the regime and enlighten ourselves before we visit the place.
