Dear Shufang,

Good to hear from you my dear.  Yes my friends and I totally 10 people are going to Cambodia by the end of Sept and very likely we will spend 4 days in Siem Riep.  I am curious to know how long time you've spent there? Any must-see places or foods that you'd like to recommend?

Actually I am working on our room reservations and have already got confirmed with Ei8ht Rooms for the first night.  Coz my friends heard that Red Lodge seems quite good too and they would tend to alter on the second night to Red Lodge if they've got rooms available.  I personally don't really like moving too often.  Have you heard of it or ever happened to drop by?  Heng Hung said that you highly recommended Ei8ht Rooms, is it?

Please .....if you have time please do share your experiences, what makes you so LOVE the place :)

Cheers,
Sharon.

Dear Sharon,

I am a friend of Heng Hung who told me that you and a bunch of other people will be heading off to Siem Riep sometime in Sept.

I had just returned from a trip up there myself and i LOVED it!

Do you have anything in mind? The kind of accomodation/ duration of stay/ budget?
I will be happy to give you some information of this lovely place based on my own experience.

Dear Sharon,

Sorry for the very delayed reply but i am in the middle of a crazy budgeting period right now. Is it ok if i follow up before next monday? When is your trip?

BTW, Ei8ght rooms was recommended to me by my friend and i have personally gone over to take a look. It is a budget hotel but the beauty of it is.. it is VERY clean and in a good located.. so it's really good value.
But don't expect any frills.. it is a very basic place (for US$ 16/ night, cannot expect too much , ya? ;)

8月底去过，广州－暹粒直飞往返。在携程订的package，往返机票＋2晚4星酒店（三个人一间房）共计8千多。吴哥窟虽美，可两天过后容易审美疲劳，所以，事先做做功课很有必要。中午阳光强烈，古迹就像石头堆，没有生气。所以，最好早上7点出门，如果看日出，就要更早，5－6点吧，中午10点左右回到城里，吃饭睡觉游泳，下午4点再出去，感受光线的变化，照片都添色不少。一般的guesthouse没有泳池，pub street附近的也比较吵，如果你喜欢泡吧，那令当别论。

多谢你的宝贵TIPS...

请容许我继续贴关于住房的EMAIL

Message from Ei8ht Rooms:

Hi Sharon,

We will do our very best for you but please note that we are a pretty small
guesthouse with only 8 rooms.
This is also the reason why we do not serve meals.
If you check online, no other guesthouse in Siem Reap can offer you such
good rates which includes in-room safe, cable tv, dvd player, mini bar, etc
and in such a central location too.
We do not make much from our rooms but we do hope you will have a great
time with us.

No worries, we will hold the rooms for you and your friends but please
inform us upon your arrival, if they would like to stay on or not.
This will be a great help to us, as we will need to fill the rooms, if they
are not required.

Have a good day and if you need any further assistance, do please let us
know.

Kind regards,
Jason & Chetra

Hi Jason & Chetra,

Thanks for the reply.  I have discussed with my friends and I personally
recommend your guest house though, it will be more persuasive if you could
manage to offer daily breakfast and bicycle usage (10 pax) on complimentary
basis for us, as you know, we will definitely recommend your hospitality to
other friends of ours back home.  

Since we will be staying in Siem Reap with 5 rooms for at least 4 nights
from Sept 29 onwards, hope things could be promising and not too difficult
for you to work out.  Please feel free to let me know what you can do.  I
appreciate that.

Same email has been sent to Red Lodge as well.  Still waiting for reply.


Hi Jason & Chetra,

We are currently having 12 people in total arriving Siem Reap on Sept 29, probably will be more joining in by the time.  Just wondering what's the rental for a mini bus of 12+ people, let's say from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh, and the rental from Siem Reap to Angkor Wat exterior (i.e. Beng Mealea).  Please advise, thanks.

Best regards,
Sharon.

Dear Sharon,

As promised! My 2 cents worth on Siem Riep!

First and foremost, i have attached the map of:
Map 1. The city Centre where all the pubs/ hotels are
Map 2. The Angkor Archaelological Park (sorry this one was not that well scanned)


A) Accomodation
You mentioned that some of the guest rooms are going at about US$ 8 / night...and that is true! some of the rooms there are really cheap!
However, it all depends what you want out of this vacation. If you are going to spend 90% of the time outside.. only to  stumble into your rooms after a lot of alcohol and probably will not notice the condition of the room, then why not the US$ 8 rooms?
But for my friend and i, we knew that after the tour around the temples (which had to end by 5.30pm when they close up the angkor park), we wanted to relax and take a dip by a pool. So i stayed in this place called Mekong Angkor Palace  which was located at #021 St. Sivatha Road and had a nice pool ;O) The rooms were going at US$ 35 - US$ 45 / nite with aircon and about US$ 20 without aircon. We stayed in the aircon room for 2 nights.

But on our  3rd night , we decided to down-grade to a US$ 15 / nite guest-house just about 4 metres away. For the life of me, i cannot remember the name of this guest house.. think it was Dana/ Dara  guest house or something like that. It is located along  Sivatha Blvd. Note that when we were checking into this place, the owner told us the rooms were going at about US$ 10/ night... until we found out that air-con = additional US$3 and hot water for shower = additional US$ 2.
So i suspect this place you said that is charging US$ 8 is absolutely no-frills.

Both of the  places i stay in  were just about 8 mins walk from Bar/ Pub street (please see map 1.. the bottom area that has been boxed.. with many restaurants/ bars/ massage parlours . This area is called Bar/ Pub Street).. so it was easy  for my friend and i  to stumble  our way back after 3 cocktails ;O)

FYI Ei8ht Rooms is also a walking distance from Pub Street. I highly recommend that  your friends and you  stay around this Pub/Bar street area  as it is very happening!
September  is not a peak period for tourists  so what i would suggest is for all of you to ask a  tuk-tuk driver to send you to a few guest houses... see them for yourselves and book on the spot. No need  for reservations. That was what my friend and i did too.


B) Transportation
i) Around Town:
If you are living near the pub street area.. you can go to the night markets / bars /restaurants by foot. If you wish to venture further away, just need to hop onto a tuk-tuk. They are EVERYWHERE!!

ii) To the Temples
Most people would take a tuk-tuk but you can also rent motorbikes and bicycles. When my friend and i were there, we wanted to rent a bicycle but it was always drizzling so we decided to take the tuk-tuk instead. Do bring along an umbrella/ rain coat as i think it is still the drizzling season. But it's really nice as it brings the temperature down and you can walk around the temples without feeling tired.

If you wish to take the tuk tuk, my advise to you is, no need to book a tuk-tuk for all the days you are there (my fren and i did this.. i.e. we booked a tuk-tuk for 3 days... where he picks us up from our hotel every morning and waits for us as we toured the temples... he charged us US$ 10 / day).
The tuk- tuks are EVERYWHERE so to book a tuk-tuk for your entire trip is not necessary. Flagging one down everytime you need one is cheaper.

C) Food
Cambodia food resembles Thai food and it's yummy!   There is plenty to eat around the pub/ bar street area so take you time to pick and choose!

There is also food stalls where the temples are so not to worry.. however, if do charge a little more than what you can find in the streets. But it is so much more convenient to eat there then to pack food in!

D) Currency
Everything is in US dollars.. and everyone accepts them... so in my opinion.. it is not necessary to change to Riels.,. because you don't want to be stuck with unspent Riels after the trip.

E) Inside the Temple Area
i am not sure what time you will reach Siem riep... but they stop allowing people to enter the temple area after 5pm.
Not sure how long you will be there as well but for my friend and i, we purchased a 3-day pass which costs US$ 40 / adult. If i am not mistaken, a 1-day pass is like US$ 20 / adult.. and who goes to Angkor for 1 day??

It is definitely recommended to read about the temples before you enter them so that you can appreciate the artifacts better.. and know the significants of the different temples. But after you have viewed the 10th temple and are going on to the 11th one.. you probably will start to  miss its beauty..

1 thing i did not do and think i  really should have done  is to get onto  the hot-air balloon where you can get a Bird's Eye View of all the temples. I am sure it is very beautiful!

F) Other things you may wish to take note of when you  are inside the temple area :
The toilets are hard to find and usually far away so try not to drink too much water!
There will be a lot of Cambodian kids trying to sell you things/ ask you for some gift  or money... and actually, they are VERY happy to receive ANYTHING from you. I did not always give them money.. and i realise they are very happy to receive things like sweets and even pens / pencils!!
So really, i would advise you to bring along some of these "gifts" for the Cambodian Kids ;O)


I hope my tips were useful.. do not hesitate to ask me more questions if you have any. I am sure you will enjoy this trip. I certainly did :O)

Dear !   Sharon  How  are you and your family ?
          I'm Mr. Ross a general manager of the Hotel , the location of my Hotel is near the old market , the price of the room is $ 15 per night  without breakfast .
And if you need the rooms with breakfast cost $ 20 per night for one room, the rooms are with aircondition bathroom inside bathtub hot and cold water , cable T.V and Fridge ,
For the price of minibus for visiting the temple one cost $ 35 around the Angkor wat area like small tour one day cost $ 35 and big Tour one day cost $ 35 , if you go to Banteay Srei temple  you have to pay $ 20 more because this temple is out side the Angkorwat area  and it is very far also ,  for minibus  tour to Beng Mealea temple cost $ 70  
because this temple is very far from SiemReap province and on the way to the BengMealea temple they have check point to stope all the Taxi that bring the tourists to visit the temple and then they charge one way $ 5 from the minibus driver .
and for the pick up from airport  to the hotel cost $ 7 ,if you are only 2 people or 4 people I free for you but have 12 people , I have to rent a minibus from the bus copany .
I think if you want to go to  PhnomPenh you don't have to rent aminibus because it is more expensive than you buy the bus Tickits ,
You just buy the bus ticket one person $ 5 ,
they have many kind of bus copany , I also have the bus tickit in my Hotel .
so if you want to book the room please reply to me soon .
because now is high season !

国庆计划去柬埔寨和越南，共9天。当天晚上飞到暹粒，回程是从西贡飞广州。

在网上差了很多资料，关于乘车的信息比较多，乘船的信息好像不多。大家都希望在这次旅行中能够有一段是乘船旅行。

大概有五段船可以选择，收集到的信息如下，不知道是否正确，请大家给予指点：

1.暹粒到马德望，lp上说可能是最美的一段洞里萨湖风光，8小时

2.暹粒到金边，20-25美金，8小时

3.金边到西贡3天团：三天时间内是船加车，时间长，价格是36美金，也不知道住宿如果解决，不知道有没有时间短一点的团

4.西贡湄公河一日游

5.在暹粒找车去洞里萨湖游览，几个小时搞掂，原路返回暹粒。

但在这几段中，乘船需要的时间，价格，和所乘坐的船的类型都不清楚，但网上说船很简陋，很晒。

Dear Sharon,

Glad you found the toilet tip useful! Alternatively, you could carry some plastic bags around ;O)

Oh! i thought you were going  fly into Siem Riep and back home directly from there. In that case, attached is yet another map.. this time, of Phnom Penh, which is yet another awesome place.

Actually if you ask me, taking a bus to PP is A LOT more pleasant than taking the boat though i know most people will find the boat-ride more thrilling. Just remember to bring some food up on the boat and again, try not to drink too much as the toilet is in a very sad state. If you intend to take a bus from Siem Riep to PP instead (which is half the price of the boat), take the one from Mekong Express. Extremely clean with toilet in the bus... and they serve sandwiches as well. You can find the Mekong Express office on #14A St Siwatha, Phum Mondul 1.

I was in PP for 2 nights where on the first nite, i stay near the Tonle Sap River..... well.. let's just say it is VERY touristy there. On the 2nd nite, we moved downwards.. in between  the Central Market and the Toul Sleng Genocide Museum into this place called Scandinavia Hotel. It is located on 4 Street 282. If you look at the map, it is on the bottom right quadrant of the map.. near the Independent Monument.   This area was much nice (to me, at least).
This hotel was really nice..but it was not that cheap.. about US$ 35 per night but i liked it very much. The one along the river (many of them!) was charging only US$ 15 / nite but it was not that nice.

I am not sure how long you intend to stay in PP but if you only have 1 day, then go for the Toul Sleng Genocide museum which is a very depressing place... but a must go. This museum opens from 8am - 5pm but closes at lunch time! (about 12 - 1 pm). If you have more time... do visit the Russian Market and the Central Market. They sell almost everything there! But the markets also closes around 6pm.  Another place i never made it is The Killing Fields which is 15km away from the city ... so u will need an extra day to see this.

I did not make it to the beaches of Cambodia as well because i heard it is about 4-6 hrs by bus .. so it was not possible for me. I believe you are referring to the beaches in Sihanoukville.

I guess you will be taking a bus from PP to Saigon?? how long would you be staying in Vietnam? 7th of Oct is a Sunday and i am always out from 2pm till late every sunday ( i join a running group called the Hashers where we run in the country side every sunday). If you will be staying for a few days, then we should definitely meet! And yes, i love love love Vietnamese food too. Let me know where you plan to stay.. or if you need help in this area as well, just let me know! i will reply before u leave!

;O)

Dear Shufang,
  
Awesome! Million thanks for your helpful tips and the maps!!! I will definitely bear in mind with your notes, oooops, especially the toilet part, well, I drink a lot of water everyday you know.  Hmm..I think I'll have to drink less there.   
  
Here's our flights and tentative plan. We are heading off to Siem Reap on Sept 29, planning to linger there for 3-4 days to see the temples and then take boat trip to Phnom Penh very likely.  Have you been to the beach of Cambodia? Heard that the beach is beautiful.. Our trip will end by departing from Vietnam on Oct 7. I am so looking forward to the Vietnamese foods there. *slurp*

Dear Sharon,
Oh! so its just a touch-and-go trip to Saigon! Thats a pity indeed!

but i can meet you and ur frens in the afternoon / evening  6th of Oct.. if you are keen...pub-hopping, anyone?

There is actually no need to make any room reservations as there are plenty of low-cost hotels over here. Just head straight to Pham Ngu Lao  area and you can see rows and rows of budget hotels. They also call this place the Backpackers area and it is located in District 1 which is exactly where most things happen. You should not need to spend more than US$ 20 / nite for a decent room . some even charge  as low as US$ 12.

If you have time, head to the War Museum which is only about 15 mins by taxi from Pham Ngu Lao area.. i would highly recommend that you take the Xe-Oms (motorcycle taxis) to your destinations.. just for the thrill of it.

Stationeries are great! they kids would love them, for sure.

Have a safe and good trip! Do not hesitate to call me anytime if you need to .
