Siem Reap Travel Blogs - Page 4

Siem Reap, though very much alive with its cultural and archeological value during the day, surprised me for its vivacious night life.

Our flight was to Siem Reap coming from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. My first impression of the airport is that is was small compared to the other airports I have seen. The weather was a lil bit cooler that I expected. We were picked up from the airport by the hotel shuttle. On our way to the …

  I broke my camera on the first day when we climbed down the steps from Ta Keo, pls, if u have fear of heights, dont climb, u'll be scared shitless to climbed down, so we borrowed the camera from kind Uncle Lee (a khmer chinese who owns (like the only) camera shop in Siem Reap)We head…

Siem Reap

it was my second visit to Siem Reap, Cambodia. i was worried about the weather but it was perfect! The rain didnt bother me this time =) on my last day i looked for an elementary school by riding a bicycle and finally found one. i could attend a class. it was amazing. children in Cambodia are very beautiful.now i have a dream which is to build a school in Cambodia one day when i have enough money.... thank you all i have met in this trip..

My last day in Siem Reap would find me visiting a few other humanitarian projects.  Mr Lee first took me to visit the Artisans D'Angkor Silk Training Farm which is about 20 minutes out of the town.  Here, this organisation assists a number of disadvantaged young people and teaches them cr…

Free at last!  And where do I go?  Another South East Asian country…Cambodia.  Ryan, me, and my 20 year old brother (spring break was never like this for me).  I finished Peace Corps on March 27, spent a few days hanging out with my friends in Bangkok and then we flew to Siem …

Subject: Message: Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2007 02:31:31 -0400 We are on our 2nd day of our Angkor Wat adventures. Dang, it is humid & hot in here. Arty & I are sweating like little piglets. The good thing about it is I'm losing the weight. People in here are still very poor. In the gueshouse t…

we woke up at around 4am and left the hotel at 5am to see the sun rise behind the temples of Angkor Wat.. we arrived there and to our suprise, there are about a hundred tourists waiting at the grounds already, with their dslr and tripods ready to capture the moment. with just our fashonista cameras…

The Thailand-Cambodia border:  In no mans land between Cambodia and the Thai town Poipet, there is a very large and not at all discreet resort and casino. It was just weird because it was the backdrop amidts an endless series of wagons being pushed by very old people in headsca…

Up at 6am to pack and a 7.20 transfer to the airport. Journey to the airport uneventful and quite sad to be leaving Cambodia. Not sure if we'll go back.

Finding Victoria. Many countries across the globe have honoured Her Majesty Queen Victoria and the Commonwealth. On my travels I will keep my eye out for various namesakes.

Me. My backpack. A 1 way ticket. 3.5 months. No real plan. Malaysia, Nepal, India, Tibet, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Burma. Amazing. (Dates are all messed up, I'll sort this out later - and some actual blogging will eventually appear!)

Cambodia was so...unexpected. I had a great time visiting the temples. Everything was so pure - Sometimes I felt like I was discovering it myself for the first time. Climbing and touching the scattered rock. Walking in the footsteps of royalty and priests. You can envision the kings who ordered the…

DAY 1 We got up at 6am to get a bus to Siem reap , finally as I was going out of my mind at the lakeside in Phnom Penh, as much as it was a cool place to hang out. The bus was ok but I was cramped the whole way because I had to sit above the wheel section, thus giving me no leg room whatsoever. W…
