The Siem Reap Boat Agency

it wasn't after much haggling before we decided to take the boat trip through Siem Reap River. the people in charge were quite insistant on their $20 price at first, saying it's a government agency with fixed prices and that we were going to have one whole boat to ourselves. it was only after we threatened to leave that we were given the price of $14. we further bargained it down to $12 each, $2 above our original budget and the people grudgingly complied. so much for government agency fixed price! i hate being ripped off. if they really needed $20 for the whole trip, i would have given it. but the thing is, the price was jacked up seeing that we are tourists. before we left for the dock we saw 4 caucasians leaving instead of taking up the offer. i presume they were given a much higher price than us.
