One word to describe it... Magnificent! You have to see it & experience it for yourself! Angkor Wat is just one of the many temples around the area...perhaps the most beautiful, biggest and grandest of them all. You need a 3 days pass to completely visit all the temples. The next famous one is …

I would say, I am glad we passed through PP before heading to Angkor. The Royale Palace is magnificent. It is designed with taste. This is classy compared to the colorful Grand Palace. Though this is by far, smaller in scale. We were guided by a very nice lady, whose name I forgot already. We were …

Aranyapathet is a town in Thailand that borders Cambodia with the town of Poipet being on the Cambodian side. neither of the 2 towns are much to see but as border towns they serve two distinct functions.1.) act as border crossing and visa processing facility for travelers going between the two coun…

Cambodia brought back the truth of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, Ankor Wat was breathtaking so calm with Buddists strolling through the grounds.

Got to lie-in today til 4am. As previously arranged with Lat the taxi driver we got picked up at 5am to reach Angkor Wat for sunrise. I thought it was a bit daft going so early but as it turns out we weren’t alone. You pay US$20 to enter the area on a day pass, a 3 day pass is available but not a…

I was most excited to get to PP having seen the movies and read the books.  It did not disappoint.  Organized chaos is the only way to describe it really.  Thousands of people on cycle, motor bikes, by foot and the occasional car.  Book airport transfer through your guest house …

Didn't get to spend enough time in Cambodia, I'll have to come back.

I spent a couple of weeks in Philippines, and VietNam. I was in Thailand for over a month. There were a few days of fun passed in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and at Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

To be honest , the thought of going on this weekend's trip to Cambodia (a war-torn, relatively undeveloped country) scared me just a little bit. We had heard horror stories of Malaria-carrying mosquitoes and active land mines. I'm sure Mom was thrilled! But in reality, Cambodia is a beautiful counr…

My first time start-to-end backpacking trip and my first time in a tropical country... and it was great! We first took a boat up north to a fishing village and then went down to beautiful Luang Prabang, next to partytown Vang Vieng and finally to Vientiane. The overnight bus brought us to Pakse with an impressive two day jungle treck through Xe Pian NPA. After a stay at the 4000 islands we crossed the border to Phnom Penh and the temples of Angkor and went back from Saigon.

 We entered Cambodia by boat traveling up the Mekong Delta; it’s one of the world’s great rivers. (Like in Apocalypse Now, (the movie.)) From the water we could see many ornate temples and pagodas and floating houses. When the boat pulled up to Phnom Penh, the capital. There are lots of m…
