Siem Reap Phnom Penh Tour Hotels

Siem Reap is the small town close to the Angkor temples and palaces. Le Meridien claims to be the nearest hotel to the templesite. It's only a short tuk-tuk-drive away indeed. Friendly staff, but still lots of room for improvement.

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Phnom Penh, Cambodia by TravelPod blogger Dancejill titled "PHNOM PENH DAY 1" Dancejill's travel blog entry: "We are off about 7 to find new digs. We look at a couple of really nice places for $50. but keep on looking. We are in the area around the Royal Palace and places seem to be quite expensive like the Cambodian that starts over $200 and wasn't on Orbitz.com. We find one of the hotels recommended by the chap last night for $20. The desk man says $45 so we take a look. It does include breakfast and we come down to negotiate. We get it for $35 and he has to include breakfast for this morning. He also will have their tuk-tuk take us back to Okay Guesthouse to get our bags. The breakfast is a buffet, lots of Cambodian food same as in Vietnam and China, rise, noodles, soup and hot veggies all green in colour. There is also some little sausages, French toast and Cambodian waffles, fruit, omletts or eggs of your choice. They also have a little very old toaster over to make toast in. It was very good. We are moved in and off to tour the Royal Palace, but it is closed as it is just after 10:30. We meet a tuk-tuk and hire him to take us to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. We knew this would be a very sad place to go to and see. It truly was. There is a presentation about the prison, what happened here, and also the account from a Scandinavian journalist who was invited to the country during the war and his feelings and views ...

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Siem Reap, Cambodia by TravelPod blogger Petenic360 titled "Week Twenty One - Phnom Penh to Siem Reap" Petenic360's travel blog entry: "Warning We have done rather a lot this week so I would recommend that you treat this week's entry like The News of the World and just look at the pictures. Day 142 - Tuesday 13 January Chuffed, relaxed, well slept, hot showered and right handed are just some of the things that we are not this morning. Except showered and hot. On all fours, moving backwards, pushing our backpacks with our legs we make our way to Reception like two giant dung beetles. We try to check out but the manager shows us to a newer, bigger, nicer room in the new wing. It isnt so we check out. As we come out of the gates we are resigned to swinging right and booking into the $95 per night Ayanara Hotel. However a moto driver offers to take us, for free, to a nearby hotel which is $40 per night and very nice. His name is Nick and I climb aboard his wee Honda while Nicola climbs aboard his mate's Tony. The hotel is called Regent Park Hotel and it is indeed very nice and $40 per night. We book in. The room has its own safe, but unlike others we have used which are either key operated or code entry, this one has a key and a dial like the old safe cracker films. It takes twenty minutes of following the instructions before we get it to work. All the while I am on my honkers which isnt good with my knees. Vanessa Phelps ...

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Phnom Penh, Cambodia by TravelPod blogger Superg titled "Dear Cambodia" Superg's travel blog entry: "Dear Cambodia, Thanks for having me. I would have loved to have stayed longer but I lingered too long with your neighbours'. Only 13 days remained on my visa. Turns out customs gave me 30 days from date of entry anyway, but I had already made plans to meet some people in Bangkok. Your country is amazing with a history that is both colourful and dark. May Pol Pot rot wherever he is. Your people are amazing, especially considering their past. I think they are among some of the friendliest people I've encountered in South East Asia. Most of those who deal with tourists speak very good English and this allows us to really get to know some of them. The moto drivers are a lot of fun to talk to, especially in Siem Reap, and that's something I never thought I'd hear myself say. Tuel Sleng Museum and the Killing Fields were pretty sobering and it's hard to believe this happened so recently. When I was 18 my biggest worry was getting dates and loosing my driver's license. Phnom Penh is a pretty great city with some sights that rival those in any other SEA city. I was also impressed with its cosmopolitan selection of restaurants. The backpacker's ghetto in the lake district could use a little work. The drug dealers are overly pesky. The same guy asked me if wanted to score some weed about eight times inside of a half hour. He quit ...

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Siem Reap, Cambodia by TravelPod blogger Jennyandpaul2 titled "Angkor What?" Jennyandpaul2's travel blog entry: "We LOVED Cambodia. It was one of the real surprises on our trip. We were expecting a country that would be a lot of work (and it was at times), that required us to pay bribes (and we had to once), that required us to fight off rickshaw drivers and salespeople (not bad at all), and even that we'd need to look for landmines (they're out there, but we didn't go to the areas where they're still a concern). For the most part though, it was friendly, relaxed, hot (a little too hot -- over 100 degrees one day, not adding in the humidity), historical, and fun. It was a real treat. Getting to Siem Reap (the city closest to Angkor Wat) was a little bit of a chore. When we got to the Thai-Cambodian border, we had to wade through people on the Thailand side trying to sell us Cambodian visas for 2-3 times what they really cost (we ignored them). We made it through Thai customs without difficulty and then wandered through no-man's land looking for the Cambodian visa office (we took a wrong turn and visited a Cambodian casino-hotel first, but eventually found our way). We were told that in addition to paying $20 each for our visas (you pay for everything in US dollars in Cambodia -- they give you change in dollars and Cambodian riel), we would need to pay an extra 100 Thai Baht (about $3.00) as an "expediting fee" (read ...

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Siem Reap, Cambodia by TravelPod blogger Debncraig titled "Phnom Penh to Siem Reap- Temples of Angkor" Debncraig's travel blog entry: "18/10 An early wake up as we need to be on time to get our boat from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. A quick 6am breakfast then out to meet the ever reliable Mr. Wah. He took us the sort journey to the River front for which Deb paid him the princely sum of $10. The trip should only cost $1 but Deb wanted to thank him for being so reliable (I thought $5 was ample reliability reward!) After the slightly better than pedestrian pace of the trusty Tuk-Tuk we wondered what we'd be in for with our chug along the river. We were pleasantly surprised as the vessel, although not new, was sleek and fast moving. As we settled in for our approx. 5hr journey to Siem Reap we were initially kept amused by watching the other passengers, especially a lady I named Mrs. Howell. She was the mother of quite a large brood and, judging by the language and accent, from one of the Scandinavian countries. She spent the first hour of the trip unpacking life jacket after life jacket finding the best ones for her brood and applying them to the children with such vigor I thought they were sure to turn blue at any minute. Obviously the daring seafaring nature of the Vikings has not been passed down through the generations! I'm not sure of the name of our boat, but I guess the English translation must've been something like "SS ...

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Siem Reap, Cambodia by TravelPod blogger Birkborkasson titled "Short trip to Cambodia" Birkborkasson's travel blog entry: "The day in Saigon started like the last one ended: calls to Jetstar about the luggage and still no luck or information. We were heading to the airport for our short trip to Cambodia (2 nights) and tried Jetstar again at the airport. Finally some news: my backpack made it to Saigon airport. Funny enough we had to call Jetstar to find this out and it was too late to get it because we already checked in for our other flight. Fortunately we were coming back to Saigon for a few hours after Cambodia which gave us enough time to pick it up. Frustrated with Jetstar Betty called the airport's luggage department directly, and thanks to her fluent Vietnamese organized for them to hang on to my bag until we returned. Our start in Cambodia was promising, the airport staff was very friendly and people at customs and visa services were teasing and joking. We hit lucky on our taxi ride to our hotel, we got a nice driver called Sophea that was very good in English (which isn't that naturally over there) and also offered to be our personal driver for our time in Cambodia. For starters we agreed for him to take us around for the rest of the day and used some time to check if his price offered was decent. Which we found to be the case and happily agreed to use his services for the second day as well. On the first day ...

Bakong is the first official state visit of temples built in Angkor. It was in 881 by King Indravarman I have completed about 75 years after the founding of the Khmer Empire. Bakong is in an area about 15 miles southeast of Siem Reap, which today is Roluos original products. "At the time of its creation was the temple of the Khmer Bakong Hariharalaya the capital and served as the official stamp of the state. A few years after the founding of the king, however, I moved Yasovarmanthe capital of the area north of Siem Reap, which is now called Angkor Thom, where he founded a new capital called Yasodharapura. Bakong built a temple pyramid of gray stone and originally dedicated to Shiva. Eight towers reddish brick temple were built around the pyramid. The tower at the top of the pyramid was much later, probably in the 12 th century ago. His style is 12 century temple of Angkor Wat. Bakong is the largest of a group of three temples, which nowIncluding the aforementioned "Roluos Group: Preah Ko and the others are Lolei, both towers of the temple of red brick similar to the function Bakong, but do not have the pyramid. All three temples are in the second half of the 9th century, and all three originally belonged to the Khmer capital Hariharalaya. This video is about the temple, with a focus on sculpture, beautiful waterfalls, which can be observed on the brick towers. The music is Planet "Kama Phal" Naked. angkorblog. com
