I think I am going to vomid going through that place over and over again..basically I was there everyday every night...I saw they are selling the same thing on every stall everywhere. Mostly Thailand and China made. Being an asian myself...all those items is nothing new to me. I can even get it from my home country. So shopping??? Not necessary for me. Place I stayed near to donated school...so every morning...full of student laughter. If hair salon at my home country full of branded shampoo line up on the shelf...here in Siem Reap i can see the hair salon with Rejoice,Head & Shoulder and many more common brand shampoo.

Wake up as early as 4:00am and be prepared to go out by 4:45am. The early hours morning wake up call is worth it!!!! Many people waiting for the sunrise at very early hours!!!! Local kiddo going to school... This kiddo sleeping...guess Mum make her wake up early to open the stall...

You can view sunset at either Phnom Bakheng or at Angkor Wat. Since the next day I am visiting angkor Wat for sunrise...so sunset view for me at Phnom Bakheng. Well...again this one need a lil bit of jungle trekking...up hill and down hill. Since the sunset at siem reap at around 5:30pm onwards...so I was a bit in hurry climbing up the sandy slippery hill. The view was worth it!!!! I don't really climb up to Phnom Bakheng but choose on the foot of phnom bakheng...yeah!!! I was a bit late so unable to compete with those who earlier...and it require another climbing up the narrow high staircase...goshhhhh!!!! I can climb up but thinking about going down...phewwwww.......challenge!!! I settle below the temple with awesome view and less competitor and of course safer for me... kekekekeke..

One must remember, when you visit Siem Reap you need to be prepared to visit temples and temples and temples again. Just like Bagan,Myanmar in Siem Reap if you don't need to spend too many days to do your day trips. 2 to 3 days is fine to visit all those major temples. Suggested itinerary for day 1 : In the morning take the small tour to Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom , Bayon,Victory Gate, Thommanom, Chau Say Thevoda, Ta Keo, Ta Phrom, Banteay Kdei, Sras Srang, Prasat Khavan and finish it with Sunset at Phnom Bakheng - normally tuk tuk price is between USD13 - 15. Some charged you up to USD20. Not higher than that price. My itinerary for day 1 : In the morning take small tour to South gate Angkor Thom then visited Central angkor Thom ( Bayon , Phimeanakas , Terrace of the Elephants , Terrace of the Leper King ), Prasat Kavan , Banteay Kdei . Go back hotel for shower....very very hot...don't think I can continue without freshing up first. Then continue ...
