Cambodia | Day 3 & 4 Siem Reap – Ancient City Adventure

Downtown Siem Reap

After a simple breakfast at the hotel, we hired Hong for USD15 where we visited:

1. Angkor National Museum – highly recommendable. I would advise to go to the museum first before making a visit to the Angkor Complex. It will give you an idea on what you are going to expect and see. Entry fee is USD12/pax.
2. Killing Fields – this place is where large numbers of people were killed during the Khmer Rouge. Entry fee: FOC.
3. War Museums – this is a museum that showcased tanks, anti-aircraft and handheld weapons for war. Tips: Tour guides are free and normally these guides are war veteran. Entry fee: USD5/pax.
4. Wat Damnak – this is the biggest pagoda in Siem Reap. Nothing much actually. Entry fee: FOC.
5. Old Market – locals called it Psah Chas and it is located in the city of Siem Reap. There are lots of pork sausages, dried food, souvenirs, stores serving Cambodian cuisine and a wet market. The best shop goes to the row of hair salon! Entry fee: FOC but items sold needs $$.

Tips: Purchase your tickets at a tour agency to skip the line. This downtown tour is around 3-4 hours.

We had lunch at the same restaurant in Day 2 before spending the whole afternoon in the room resting – sounds dull ya if I did not get myself into a high fever. Both my mates when out to finish up their shopping. I, on the other hand, was left sick in the room – BOO ME!

On the last day, we hired Hong to the airport for USD5 and headed home to KUL on the 0835H AK543 flight. Siem Reap was really amazing for me and my mates. Hope to visit this lovely city someday!
