This is a must visit coz it shows the genius minds of men. Just like the Great Wall of china or terra-cotta warriors.... just seeing the unlimited imagination of men. 37 usd per pax just for entrance fees isn’t all that cheap but understand they are restoring the site. Guide additional price. Kids below 12 is free. Ticketing is at another site. Sunrise tour is worth it but we couldn’t do it due to weather

Right in the Centre of town is this must see site & goes hand in hand with a visit to the Killing Fields, The Genocide Centre The audio tour is a must for this to work, it is well paced & very informative. The stories are grim & the exhibits eerie but that is the reality of what happened not so long ago. It is thought provoking a makes you appreciate so much of what we take for granted. Just to be imprisoned, brutally tortured & killed for being a teacher, Doctor, wearing glasses or having soft hands is madness but it was the reality here between 1975-1979.

Short tuktuk ride from downtown Siem Reap. Tickets $37USD purchased off site and then 15 min ride to the Wat. Ticket for the day is good for three temples - Angkor Wat, Banyon and Ta Phrom. Cross pontoon bridge and enter a 12th century world amongst pushy Koreans and Chinese folk. The grounds were well maintained and clean. The historical discovery is amazing. The climb to the top levels can be, let’s say thrilling! Cannot say more other than one must experience.

We were driven out to the lake from Siem Reap. Interesting to see life along the banks and the fish market. Then we arrived at the floating village. These houses float and move to deeper water as and when they need to. Stopped at a floating shop/restaurant. Thoroughly enjoyed this trip as we like to see how people live - more than temples and ruins actually!
