My trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia

Hi Gorgeous, Beautiful, Charming one...............

Good Morning.

Here goes my four days trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia.

9 December to 12 December 2013

My primary goal was to see Angkor Wat which was on my dream list. This trip has given me an opportunity to explore a bit more about this country, its history, cultures, art, religions and of course its beautiful and wonderful people which I would treasure forever.

I went there with my sister and my cousin. Only three of us for this trip this time.

We reached Siem Reap Airport at 8 am (Cambodia time) and was welcomed by our friendly  tour guide, Mr Sem Vuthy. We headed to our hotel first, Shining Angkor Hotel. The hotel was beautiful full of arts, thick wood and with dim lights.

Day One



Do specify what kind of Angkor Wat pass you want.

1 day pass costs $20,

3 days pass cost $40 (can visit 3 days or time in one week period),

7 days pass costs $60 (can visit 7 days or times in one month period).

Do keep your pass handy, as you will be asked to show it when entering the temples.



We started our tour to Angkor Thom-South Gate of Angkor Thom then Bayon Temple, Baphoun Temple, Terrace of Elephant, Terrace of Leper King, Ta Prohm temple, Angkor Wat and lastly we  climbed  Bakheng Mountain to see sun set of Angkor Wat scenery.

Shining Angkor Hotel

The first place was Angkor Thom.

 

Ta Phrom temple

Who has attended nose level with a king? 

In the temple of Bayon, you'll find unique opportunities. One popular

attraction to take a photo where you can position yourself, that it looks

like you poke the nose of the sculpture of King Jayavarman VII

with your own he he ~ nose to nose
