Siem Reap












Siem Reap? what is this place?





Siem Reap City is the capital of Siem Reap Province, Cambodia.
Siem Reap has colonial and Chinese-style architecture in the Old French Quarter, and around the Old Market. In town, there are Apsara dance performances, craft shops, silk farms, rice-paddy countryside, fishing villages and a bird sanctuary near the Tonle Sap Lake. It is perhaps best known for its proximity to Angkor Wat.
Siem Reap today, being a popular tourist destination, has a large number of hotels and restaurants. Most smaller establishments are concentrated around the Old Market area, while more expensive hotels are located between Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport and the town along National Road 6. There are a variety of mid-range hotels and restaurants along Sivatha, and budget to mid-range hotels in the Phsar Leu area.

The above is some of the explanation. After such a long period waiting, finally expected SR trip is around the corner. I'm waiting for the mysterious of Angkor Wat. Angkor wat, im coming.

Even tough 3 of us going for this trip, but it seem like im the one who doing planner. Where is my other buddy ??? well, they actually appointed me for trip planner job. Can i get any salary? CEO, i need u to pay me salary leh. Seem like i will do from A to Z...erm...not seem like...is exactly i will do the rest.

So far i had booked our little homelike GH. Is newly open on Apr 09 with cheap price(promo). I heard my fren said is a nice stay there. Is really a good deal with the GH as can save more for my fren shopping as she like to shop for souvenir(everytime she out for trip).








Last but not least, since im doing the planner, of course im well prepared with the itinerary, logistics, searching for well recommended restaurant for dining and even tell my fren to change usd note when the exchange rate is low.
