Sinhbalo - Private Tour

by chatterley

The private tour pacakge was booked online via the company (Sinhbalo)'s website at:http://sinhbalo.com/great_angkor_temple.htmlThe tour included transfers to and from the airport, accommodation (choose from 2 hotels, prices vary) with breakfast, English-speaking guide, a driver, an air-con mini-bus, admission fees to the sights, some meals etc.We managed to see all of the famous temples, as well as some of the lesser known ones (smaller temple circuit) which are off-the-beaten track. Very satisfied with the personal service.

Guidebooks for appreciating Angkorian temples

by seagypsy

Hello again Lauren,If you do decide to visit without a tour or a personal guide, I do recommend a good guidebook for the Angkorian temples and two that stand out are:Dawn Rooney's, Angkor. She's got several books on Angkor but the ones on the temples themselves with a short guide for Siem Reap at the end is very good. Her other book, Angkor Odyssey is OK but the one specifically on the temples is better. She revises her book from time to time so there are many editions (probably into it's 6th or 7th edition by now).Another good book as a guide to the Angkorian temples is Michael Freeman's, Ancient Angkor.Both authors' books are wonderful guides and have great pictures and architectural temple plans, too.

ATM,s, Cash, Travellers Cheques, Visa Cards etc

by Cathy&Gary

There are ATMs in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, we used them a lot, if your card has Cirrus or Maestro on the back you will be ok.Cash of course is also great, we took a mixture of everything, US dollars, atm cards and travellers cheques).US dollars are accepted everywhere in Cambodia. Make sure you have lots of small denominations, eg mainly ones and fives.Sometimes you will get some riel as change when you spend dollars, get rid of them before you leave as they will be worth nothing to you, use for small items like bottles of water, tips etc.There are lots of places that you can change travellers cheques and you can get a cash advance from Visa cards at the Cambodian Commercial Bank and Anz Royal Bank in Phnom Penh and a few banks in other main towns. There is a list of ATM machines in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap in my Travelogue Page

Meeting children in Siem Reap

by magor65

One of my fondest memories from Siem Reap are the contacts with kids. Although often poor and dirty, they were always kind and smiling. Some of course begged for money (which we didn't give, as we thought it's better to give away some stationery and sweets). I will always remember one girl in Ta Som temple, who could count to ten in several languages or a baby boy in an orphanage, who was dressed in colourful clothes but had such sad eyes. On the last day of our stay in Siem Reap we were walking in the town visiting various wats and peeping into temple-run schools. We were welcomed everywhere both by teachers and students. During the break-time they surrounded us and willingly posed for a photo. It was great to exchange some simple sentences with them in English - everybody wanted to say their names and age. One of the boys (in the photo 2 he's wearing a jacket) was clearly more...

Children of Cambodia

by magor65

We spent a lot of time in Siem Reap walking in the town, talking to people, especially children. What struck us was how good-natured these people are in spite of their hard lives.Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in Asia. It is unbelievable, but about 35 % of people here live below the poverty line, which means that they have to survive on less than one dollar a day. Of course it's the children who suffer most. And the number of children is big - almost half of the population is below the age of 15. Many of them, instead of going to school, have to help their families and are sent out to beg in the streets, or work f.e. as can collectors. Children prostitution is also a serious, although shamefully hidden, problem. Although many programmes sponsored by international organizations have improved the educational situation, the needs in this respect are still immense. Literacy rate...

Cambodian Children

by Flipboy

The children in Cambodian can be so heart wrenching as well as inspiring. Such bright, beautiful, intelligent little beings. Beware though, they will follow you everywhere trying to sell you something. Its is truly hard not to buy something as these kids will rattle off all the info about your country that you dont know; population, land size, all kinds of fict and facts they have definitely picked up from somewhere, school or syndicate, I'm not sure.But they also have an amazing sense of humor and understanding. So grown up yet so small.
